Dale's take on New London

The survey is booked before the owner has a way to get the hull there, a common snag once a sale in New London starts moving toward closing. A yacht sitting on a mooring has to reach the inspector's yard on a set date, and nobody wants that appointment missed over a logistics problem. The other situation looks the same from the road: a boat coming off a marina slip each fall, headed to dry storage before the season turns.

My crew brings the truck and trailer, and we haul it door to door, working the same corridor as Norwich and Baltic. Oversize paperwork is ours before we roll. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the Connecticut boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in New London

Boat transport in New London means getting a boat to an inspection on schedule and then wherever the sale sends it after, whether that stop is a storage lot or a dealer's yard. The two situations that keep this part of the coast busy are the pre-survey run and the seasonal move off a slip before the harbor freezes. Our boat movers bring a truck and trailer rated for the vessel's dimensions, load it, lash it, and photograph it before the wheels turn, insured load to unload. Bozrah and Colchester sit on the same corridor. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat hauling in New London works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

    Hull length, beam, and height, both the pickup ZIP in New London 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 New London

    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 Connecticut boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about New London boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in New London?
Cost in New London tracks distance, hull size, and season. The pricing section above shows how the rates combine. Send photos, hull length and beam, and both ZIP codes, and we hand back a firm number before we schedule.
How much is per mile to transport a boat?
Short runs cost more per mile than long ones — same loading work, less mileage to spread it across. The pricing above shows how it lands in New London routes.
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?
Our trucks, our drivers, our name on the job from quote to delivery. Nobody hands your boat off to a different carrier. The person who priced it stays responsible.
Is my boat insured during transport?
Coverage runs from the moment it loads to the moment it comes off the truck. Certificate before booking, photos both ends.
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 New London?
Two to three weeks is the safe window. Spring de-winterizing and fall storage push are the busy stretches. Bigger boats need longer lead time to route.
