Dale's take on Ann Arbor

Notice went out last week that the storage yard is doubling its rate, and the ski boat that has wintered there for years suddenly costs more to store than it is worth to some. A neighbor's sailboat got the same notice, both owners now hunting for a cheaper address before the new invoice arrives.

Our truck and trailer make the trip ourselves, no subcontracted haul passed to a stranger, loaded and towed door to door with the oversize paperwork ours from the start. Saline and Dexter fall on the same run. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the Michigan boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in Ann Arbor

Boat transport in Ann Arbor means moving a vessel that still has real use left, just not from where it sits today. A rate hike at the storage lot sends a wave of boats our way each fall, a driveway pickup covers the steady rest, and spring de-winterizing adds its own rush. Our boat movers bring a truck and trailer sized for the hull, load it, lash it, and photograph it before the wheels turn, then run it insured from load to unload. Ypsilanti and Chelsea sit on the same route. Send the boat's dimensions and where it needs to land. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Ann Arbor

Cal 27 removal Ann Arbor MI

Ann Arbor, MI: 27 ft Cal Gone in One Morning

A 27 ft Cal 27 came to us in Washtenaw County with a corroded mast at the step and the boom already gone. The owner had kept it on stands in his yard for years, figuring he'd restore it someday. He didn't.

How boat hauling in Ann Arbor works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

    Hull length, beam, and height, both the pickup ZIP in Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor

    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 Michigan boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Ann Arbor boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Ann Arbor?
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?
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. We have the trailers for it and we pull the oversize permit before the truck moves. Size alone does not stop a job — it changes the lead time.
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?
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?
If it needs a permit we handle it, no exceptions. You never touch a state office. All costs sit inside the number we gave you.
How far in advance should I book boat hauling in Ann Arbor?
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.
