Dale's take on Santa Monica

Boat transport companies handle a lot of different jobs, but most of them don't know Santa Monica the way we do. We've been moving boats in and out of this coastal area for over twenty years. Whether you're buying a Sea Ray, storing a sailboat for the season, or moving a vessel to a repair facility, we know the routes, the dock access points, and the specific requirements that come with Santa Monica's marine environment. A boat transport company that understands local conditions saves you time and money. Every boat is different, and every transport job has its own set of handling needs. We measure the job by your vessel's specific needs, not a one-size bid.

My crew hauls the vessel door to door with our truck and trailer, boat hauling from Santa Monica driveways and marina slips. Jobs in Marina del Rey often stack with a Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica

Boat transport in Santa Monica means we bring a truck and trailer rated for the hull, load and lash the vessel, and deliver door to door. Boat transport service in Santa Monica means moving your vessel from one location to another, whether it's a delivery after you've bought a boat, a seasonal run from a marina to storage, or a trip to a repair shop across Santa Monica. We're boat movers who've handled everything from sailboats to larger yachts, and we know the routes through this coastal area. The same transportation runs through Culver City and Beverly Hills, and we adjust our equipment and trailer setup based on your boat's size and dimensions. Our fleet covers local Santa Monica transport and longer distance hauls, measured in mile-by-mile detail based on your boat's specific needs, not a one-size bid. We ship your boat safely to its destination without damage, and the whole process is straightforward. As a boat transporter, we handle the launch coordination, dock logistics, and all the handling requirements that come with moving a boat safely. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat hauling in Santa Monica works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

    Hull length, beam, and height, both the pickup ZIP in Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica

    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 Santa Monica boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Santa Monica?
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?
There is no flat per-mile number. Loading and rigging cost the same whether the trip is short or long, so short runs cost more per mile than long ones. The rates above already account for that curve.
Can you move a 40 ft boat?
Yes, 40 ft is well within our range. Big hulls need a permit and a routing plan; both are our job, not yours. Add a couple weeks to the schedule and it works.
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?
Yes, from load to unload it rides on our policy. A certificate of insurance is available before you book, not after. We photograph the boat at loading and at delivery for the record.
Do I need a permit to move my boat, and who handles it?
Only wide loads need a permit, and we pull every one before the truck rolls. You do nothing on that front. The quote already includes it.
How far in advance should I book boat hauling in Santa Monica?
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.
