Shipping a Boat PDF Print E-mail

When shipping a boat, large or small, local or international, if you are not capable of doing it yourself then you will have to hire a boat shipping company to do it for you. Shipping a boat may be costly but it all depends on what company you end up using. Being able to compare different companies to see which ones offer the best services at the lowest prices will make the whole ordeal a lot easier. Knowing how to find the better company based on the service they provide and the prices is essential.

This article is geared towards helping you find the right boat shipping company. First of all you will want to confirm that any company which you may use has Federal Motor Carrier Authority. And Federal DOT Authority. If the shipping company is legitimate then they will be able to provide you with their MC or DOT numbers. Most shippers will also verify the numbers at www.safersys.org to prove that the shipping company is registered to ship boats.

When shipping a boat, it is good to make sure that the company which you use will also pay for the insurance within the transporting fees. Make sure you cross check any details they give you or go on www.safersys.org to assure that the company is really insured and the policy isn't expired.

When shipping a boat, don't use a shipping company who says that the insurance is covered on their Personal Insurance Policy. They need to have a Commercial Insurance Policy for shipping someone else's property.
