Dale's take on Metairie

Storage season starts before hurricane season even peaks, Metairie owners move a boat off its dock and into dry storage every fall, then reverse the whole trip every spring when the water warms back up. Some jobs skip the seasonal pattern entirely, a sailboat sells to a buyer in another parish and the family letting it go owns nothing rated to tow the hull that far.

My crew runs Metairie boat hauling with our own truck and trailer, door to door, with Kenner and Harvey on the same Jefferson Parish route. Oversize paperwork is ours before we roll. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved. Details on the Louisiana boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in Metairie

Boat transport in Metairie means getting a vessel through Jefferson Parish on a schedule the weather or a buyer sets, not the boat owner. A seasonal move into storage before hurricane season, a sale to a buyer across the parish line, a straight relocation, these fill the calendar here. Our boat movers bring a truck and trailer rated for the hull, lash it, photograph it, and it rides insured from the marina or yard to the door. Gretna and Marrero sit on the same Jefferson Parish routes. Send the boat's dimensions and both addresses. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Metairie

Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 removal Metairie LA

22 ft Sun Tracker Party Barge Removal in Metairie, LA

A 22 ft Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 sat in a canal-side lot in Metairie with spongy deck boards and a bent rail, no trailer underneath it. The pontoon had been there long enough that the owner stopped counting seasons. Water damage and neglect meant the hull sat low, and there was no way to move it without a lift.

How boat hauling in Metairie works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

    Hull length, beam, and height, both the pickup ZIP in Metairie 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 Metairie

    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 Louisiana boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Metairie boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Metairie?
Depends on distance, hull dimensions, and season. The pricing section above lays out the rates. Photos, both ZIP codes, and dimensions get you a flat quote that holds through the day.
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 Metairie routes.
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?
We run the trip. Our crews, our trailers, no bid board. The driver's name and number are in your hand before pickup.
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?
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 Metairie?
Aim for two or three weeks ahead. Spring launch and fall haul-out weeks fill first. Rush jobs happen sometimes if a truck is already routed nearby.
