Dale's take on New Orleans

The deadline is set by a New Orleans marina, not the owner: the slip lease ends before anywhere else has been lined up to put the boat, and the calendar will not wait for a plan to come together. That is the call we hear most out of this parish, along with the sailboat owner moving a boat inland ahead of hurricane season, unwilling to leave it exposed on a mooring through the fall surge.

My crew runs New Orleans jobs with our own truck and trailer, sized for the hull, and we haul it door to door. Oversize paperwork is ours before the wheels turn. 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 New Orleans

Boat transport in New Orleans means moving a vessel off a lease that just ended and onto ground that will actually hold it, whether that is a storage lot across the parish or a driveway on the other side of town. The situations that keep this city busy are the ended slip lease and the pre-season push to get a hull off the water before hurricane season builds. Our boat movers bring a truck and trailer rated for the boat size, load it, lash it, and photograph it before it moves, insured from pickup to drop. Send photos and both addresses and we will tell you what day works. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in New Orleans

Ericson 27 removal New Orleans LA

Hauling a sailboat out of a New Orleans driveway

This one came off a driveway in Orleans Parish, a 27 ft Ericson 27 with crazed portlights and an interior some previous owner had gutted years back, nothing left inside but the bones. It had been sitting on stands long enough that the pads had settled into the ground on one side, so the hull was leaning off level when we got there. That lean was the obstacle.

How boat hauling in New Orleans works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 New Orleans boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in New Orleans?
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 New Orleans?
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.
