Boat transport in Georgia: licensed, insured, any distance

Most boat hauling jobs in Georgia 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 Atlanta to Lake Lanier costs far less than a long-distance run from Savannah to the Florida Keys.

Georgia requires an oversize permit for any load wider than 8 feet 6 inches on state roads, and most boats on a trailer exceed that. Hansons Boat Removal pulls the correct Georgia DOT permits before every haul, including any county-level approvals needed for routes through metro Atlanta or coastal Georgia corridors.

Yes. Hansons Boat Removal runs long-distance boat transport out of Georgia regularly, covering routes to the Carolinas, Tennessee, Texas, and up the East Coast. Each state along the route requires its own oversize permits, and Hansons Boat Removal handles all of that paperwork before the truck rolls. You get door-to-door delivery without coordinating permits yourself.

Georgia allows oversize loads up to 16 feet wide with the right permits and escort vehicles. Hansons Boat Removal has transported boats well over 50 feet in length through Georgia, including wide-beam sportfish boats out of Brunswick and large pontoons from Lake Hartwell. Anything over 14 feet wide typically requires a Georgia State Patrol escort.

Two to three weeks out is a reasonable window for most Georgia boat hauling jobs. Peak season runs March through September, when demand is high across Lake Oconee, Lake Allatoona, and coastal marinas near St. Simons Island. If you're working around a storage deadline or a yard appointment, book as early as you can to lock in your date.
