Dale's take on Somerville

Boat transport companies in Somerville handle everything from moving a damaged sailboat out of a marina to hauling a Sea Ray across state lines. Whether your boat needs to ship to a repair facility, move into seasonal storage, or reach a new owner, the right transporter makes the difference. Every boat has different requirements based on size, distance, and condition. Our fleet is built to handle the job safely, and we work with insurance providers to document the move from start to finish. Most calls come from people who've tried to sell a boat and couldn't, or who inherited one they don't want. Some boats are damaged. Some are just sitting. We get them moving.

My crew hauls the vessel door to door with our truck and trailer, boat hauling from Somerville driveways and marina slips. Jobs in Cambridge often stack with a Somerville call, so the tow schedule moves fast. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the Massachusetts boat hauling page.

What's covered

What boat transport covers in Somerville

Boat transport in Somerville means moving your vessel from one location to another, whether that's a delivery after you've bought a boat, a seasonal run from a marina to storage, or a trip to a repair yard across Massachusetts. We're boat movers who handle sailboats, yachts, and any vessel that needs safe transportation. Our equipment includes a specialized trailer sized for your boat, a truck with the power to haul it, and the know-how to measure your boat's dimension and weight before we ever hook up. The same route runs through Medford and Malden when we're moving boats around Somerville, so we know the tight streets and low-clearance spots. Boats are loaded, lashed, and photographed before the wheels turn. We cover your boat during transit and handle the whole move safely from dock to destination. Marine transport service includes damage assessment, insurance documentation, and safe handling at every step. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Somerville

Ericson 27 removal Somerville MA

27 ft Ericson Removal in Somerville, MA

A 27 ft Ericson 27 sailboat landed in a Somerville driveway after the original owner passed it along to someone who never finished the restoration. The portlights were crazed, the interior stripped down to bare fiberglass, and the mast had been down for years. It sat on wooden stands, not a trailer, which meant we couldn't just hitch and go.

How boat hauling in Somerville works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 Massachusetts boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Somerville boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Somerville?
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 Somerville?
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.
