Boat transport in Florida — sea to storage, any distance.

Most boat hauling jobs in Florida run between $2.50 and $5.00 per loaded mile, depending on boat size, weight, and whether wide load permits are required. A short haul from Miami to Tampa might run $600 to $900. Longer overland transport to Georgia or the Carolinas will cost more once you factor in permits and overnight stops.

Florida requires an oversize permit for any load exceeding 8.5 feet wide or 13.5 feet tall. Most boats over 22 feet trigger at least one of those thresholds. Hansons Boat Removal pulls the correct state permits before the truck rolls, including any county-level approvals needed around metro areas like Jacksonville or Orlando.

Florida allows overland transport of boats up to 14 feet wide and 14.5 feet tall with the proper wide load permits and, in some cases, a pilot car escort. Boats wider than 12 feet typically require travel restrictions to daylight hours only. Hansons Boat Removal assesses your boat's dimensions before booking to confirm what's needed.

Two to three weeks is a solid lead time for most Florida boat hauling jobs. Peak season runs October through April, when snowbirds are moving boats south and marinas from Fort Lauderdale to St. Petersburg fill up fast. If your move is time-sensitive or involves a wide load permit, booking earlier gives Hansons Boat Removal room to line up the right equipment.
