Top Boat Shipping Companies

Published by Joe Webster.

Shipping A Boat

Shipping a boat can be a tedious process especially for new buyers. However, a reliable company should help you through the process. Basically, you want a company that:

  • Communicates clearly: There are several processes required to ship a boat. A top-rated shipping company should communicate clearly and efficiently to let you understand the procedures.
  • Has experts: Boat shipping requires professionals due to the complexity of the vessel. The company should have people who understand how to handle your boat carefully. Also, they should know the legal processes involved in the transportation business.
  • Has tracking services: You definitely want to tract your own vessel without having to call the shipper. Although most of the companies have tracking services, ensure that they are reliable. With advancements in technology, a company with satellite tracking services should be a plus.
  • Insures boats: A shipping company should cover for your boat in the case of an accident. It is important to understand the insurance policy provided by your company before shipping. Usually, the insurance quotes vary with the value of a vessel and the risks involved.
  • Has fair prices: A good trick here is to compare quotes from several shipping companies. Make your own judgment of what is fair. Low prices can sometimes be an indicator of poor services. You also do not want to go with an over-priced company.
  • Good reviews: Before hiring a shipper, research about them. Usually, online reviews are one of the ways to judge a company’s reputation. Be careful though; do not take the customer’s word for it. Some online reviews can be the result of manipulation. If you are looking for more information search the online review sites.
  • Has shown growth: Financial stability is a good indicator of a reliable company. Search for financial reports of your potential shipping companies and see if they reflect growth. Some companies as we shall see in the list below become top-rated within a few years of operation. If a company is stable, it will not want to tarnish its reputation through shoddy deals.
  • Area of operation: A reliable company should comfortably ship to your destination. This is an indication that the shipper is reachable and will work with your preferences. It also indicates that your boat will arrive in good time. If you are shipping internationally, ensure that your company does overseas shipping

Having known the basics of a reliable company, we have done our best to compile a list of some top shippers. The data can be obtained from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Hopefully, this list will give you some guidance.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
