Boat Shipping New Orleans, Louisiana

Using a seasoned boat shipping company will make transporting your vessel to or from New Orleans, LA simple and stress-free.

A-1 Auto Transport has been shipping boats from the east to the west coast and across the country for over ten years. Our experience guarantees that we will provide the most appropriate and cost-effective shipping service based on your requirements.

Types of New Orleans, LA Boat Transport Services

We offer various boat shipping services to and from New Orleans, LA. DOT regulations must be followed when transporting a boat in Louisiana. The following are some of the rules:

• Boats wider than 8'6" require a state permit.
• Vessels over 12' wide need an escort.
• If you opt to reduce your boat to legal size, 13'6", do it before transport.
• There may be travel restrictions on federal and state holidays.

Boat transport

Our company transports a variety of boats, ships, and other watercraft. We also offer full-service moving, interstate shipping, shrink wrapping, and international yacht transfer.

Powerboat shipping

Shipping your powerboat can be difficult because the overall height must be considered when planning the route. The laws and regulations governing boat transportation may differ from one state to the next. Boats up to 13'6" in the mid-Atlantic and northeast states, and 14' in others, are permitted; boats taller than this generally require permits and pole cars.

Because some jurisdictions have laws prohibiting the importation of plants from other states, the bottom of your vessel must be free of grasses and plants before transport.

Sailboat Transport

Shipping a sailboat is a complicated process that should be handled only by experts. Remove all lights, winches, wind indicators, and rigging before hauling off your sailboat. Don't attach your mast to the boat because it has a space on the trailer.

Yacht shipping

Yachts typically weigh at least 40,000 pounds, are more than 14 feet wide, and stand 14 feet tall. Yacht transport is slightly different from that of smaller vessels.

Because of our company's experience moving large vessels, you can be confident that we will ship your boat efficiently.

Small boat transport

Small boats can be transported on land, on their hulls, on trailers, and even on yacht transport ships.

International Boat Shipping

International shipping takes longer than domestic shipping. Obtaining all necessary customs documents is critical to make the process easier and faster.

You can rely on the customs experts at our company to help you through this process.

Container Boat Shipping

You can ship your boat overseas as freight on a cargo ship.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Boat to or from New Orleans, LA?

The cost of shipping boats to or from New Orleans, LA, can be influenced by a number of factors, including:

• Season - Summer is the busiest season for boat shipping, so transportation costs rise. Weather at origin and destination ports, particularly for international cargo, can have an impact on shipping schedules.
• Destination - Some ports may charge additional fees.
• Size - The size of your boat significantly impacts shipping costs. The price is determined by measuring the beam's size, length, and weight.

How to Prepare a Boat for Shipping

To avoid damage during transit, ensure that your boat has been adequately prepared before handing it over to the shipping company. Because the majority of companies will allow you to prepare your boat, any damage caused by improper preparation is your responsibility. You can prepare your boat on your own because it requires little background knowledge or technical expertise.

Here are some suggestions for preparing your boat for transport.

• Each tank must be emptied. Remove the water and fuel. Draining fluids from pumps, water systems, and air conditioners is critical.
• Make sure that your boat has been precisely measured. For more information on measuring your boat, visit this page.
• Remove the anchors from the deck.
• Alarms, electronic components, and batteries must all be unplugged and secured.
• Remove and securely store all propellers, anchors, flagpoles, antennae, electronics, and valuables.
• Cabinets and cabins must be kept safe. All hatches, windows, and doors should be closed.
• Linseed oil can be used to protect your wooden boat from drying out, but it may cause dirt buildup on the road.
