Dale's take on Martinez

Martinez sits on the Carquinez Strait, and plenty of boat owners here face the same problem: a vessel that needs to move, and no clear way to ship it safely. Whether your boat is sitting on a trailer in your driveway, moored at a local dock, or needs to reach a destination across the state, Hansons Boat Removal handles the transportation. We're a boat transport company that specializes in moving vessels of any size, from small sailboats to larger cruisers. The work sounds simple until you measure the logistics, distance, weight, route clearance, local regulations, and the actual mechanics of loading without damage. That's where experience matters. We know the roads, the permits, the marine environment here, and how to handle your boat like it's our own.

My crew hauls the vessel door to door with our truck and trailer, boat hauling from Martinez driveways and marina slips. Jobs in Mountain View often stack with a Martinez call, so the tow schedule moves fast. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the California boat hauling page.

What's covered

What boat transport covers in Martinez

Boat transport in Martinez means moving your vessel safely across California to wherever it needs to go. We handle seasonal runs from a marina to storage, delivery after a sale, trips to a repair yard, and in-state relocations for owners who've decided to move their boat to a new location. Our fleet includes flatbed trailers sized for everything from a 16-foot sailboat to larger vessels, plus the truck and equipment to handle each haul without damage. As boat movers, we know the roads, the same route runs through Vine Hill and Alhambra Valley, and we plan every trip to keep your boat secure and on time. The boat size and distance determine the service cost and timeline. We measure the boat's dimensions, confirm your destination, and give you a bid before we schedule transit. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat hauling in Martinez works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

    Hull length, beam, and height, both the pickup ZIP in Martinez and the drop-off. Photos of any tight access, gate widths, or slope get the quote right the first time.

  2. 2

    Get a flat quote the same day

    One number covers loading, transport, oversize permits, fuel, and door-to-door delivery. No hourly, no fuel surcharges added later at the curb.

  3. 3

    Schedule the pickup window in Martinez

    We confirm the date and a two- to four-hour arrival window the day before. The driver calls when the truck is an hour out so nobody stands around waiting.

  4. 4

    Load, lash, photograph, and transport

    The crew rigs the boat to the trailer, checks tie-downs and lights, and photographs the load before the wheels turn. Oversize permits, if needed, are already in hand.

  5. 5

    Delivery and photos at the drop

    At the drop the boat comes off the trailer under our own hands. You get the same photo record at delivery.

    Insurance runs load-to-unload. Certificate of coverage available before booking, not after something goes wrong.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Distance, hull size, and season move it from there. Full ranges and the per-mile rule live on the California boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Martinez boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Martinez?
There is no flat quote until we see the boat and the route. The rates above show how short runs and long runs price differently. Send photos and both ZIP codes and the number comes back before we book.
How much is per mile to transport a boat?
The per-mile number drops as distance grows, because loading and lashing cost the same either way. The pricing section above shows the ranges we quote against.
Can you move a 40 ft boat?
Yes. Hydraulic trailers handle hulls that size, and oversize paperwork stays on our end, not yours. A larger vessel needs extra lead time to line up the trailer and route.
Are you the actual hauler or a broker?
Direct carrier, not a broker. The person who quotes is the person responsible. Your boat never gets resold to whichever driver bids lowest.
Is my boat insured during transport?
Insured door to door on our own coverage. You see the certificate before booking. Photos at load and drop are standard, on every job.
Do I need a permit to move my boat, and who handles it?
Wider loads need an oversize permit and our team pulls it before the truck leaves. You never file paperwork or contact a state office. That cost sits inside the flat quote already.
How far in advance should I book boat hauling in Martinez?
Two weeks is a good target. Peak season, more like three. Oversize hulls need extra runway to line up the trailer and pull the permit.
