Dale's take on Minneapolis

The distance is three counties between the boat and anyone close enough to deal with it, though the family knows it still runs, they just cannot get to it and cannot afford to let it freeze in wherever it is parked. Closer to home, a yacht needs to come off the lake before the first hard freeze locks the dock down for the season.

My crew brings a truck and trailer built for the hull, and we haul it door to door, with Minnetonka and Eden Prairie on the same Hennepin County route. Oversize paperwork is ours before we roll. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved. Details on the Minnesota boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in Minneapolis

Boat transport in Minneapolis means moving a vessel that still has an owner and still has value, even when that owner lives three counties away and has never seen the boat in person. An inherited hull with no one local to claim it, a lake boat coming off the water before freeze-up, a straight relocation, these fill the schedule here. Our boat movers bring equipment rated for the hull, lash it, photograph it, and it rides insured from the driveway to wherever it lands. Excelsior and Hopkins sit on the same Hennepin County routes. Send the boat's dimensions and both addresses. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Minneapolis

Hunter 23.5 removal Minneapolis MN

Hauling a sailboat out of a Minneapolis driveway

This 23 ft Hunter 23.5 had a water ballast tank that cracked sometime over the winter, and by the time we got the call the owner had given up on patching it. It sat in a Hennepin County driveway on its original trailer, which had rusted to the point where two of the wheel bearings were frozen solid. That trailer wasn't rolling anywhere on its own.

How boat hauling in Minneapolis works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 Minnesota boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Minneapolis boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Minneapolis?
Cost in Minneapolis tracks distance, hull size, and season. The pricing section above shows how the rates combine. Send photos, hull length and beam, and both ZIP codes, and we hand back a firm number before we schedule.
How much is per mile to transport a boat?
The per-mile number drops as distance grows, because loading and lashing cost the same either way. The pricing section above shows the ranges we quote against.
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?
Our trucks, our drivers, our name on the job from quote to delivery. Nobody hands your boat off to a different carrier. The person who priced it stays responsible.
Is my boat insured during transport?
Insured door to door on our own coverage. You see the certificate before booking. Photos at load and drop are standard, on every job.
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 Minneapolis?
Two to three weeks is the safe window. Spring de-winterizing and fall storage push are the busy stretches. Bigger boats need longer lead time to route.
