An inherited boat rarely sits close to the person who inherits it. We get calls from families settling an estate where the boat is parked three counties from anyone who can deal with it, maybe a marina slip near Biloxi while the family lives up around Corinth or Grenada. Nobody in that spot owns a trailer built for the job.
We run boat hauling across Mississippi with our own trucks and trailers, load and lash the hull, tow it, and deliver door to door on a day that works for the family. If the paperwork on an inherited boat is not fully sorted, we can still move it.
Boat hauling in Mississippi starts at $600. The final number depends on distance, hull size, trailer type, and whether the load needs an oversize permit. Per loaded mile runs $2.50 to $3.75 on shorter in-state work; longer runs price lower per mile because loading and rigging cost the same whether the boat travels forty miles or four hundred.
The quote you get covers loading, transport, permits, and delivery. One firm number, and it does not change at the curb.
Hull sizeLength, beam, and height set the trailer and permit path.
RouteShort runs cost more per mile; long hauls average down.
Trailer typeYours, ours, or hydraulic. Wide loads add oversize paperwork.

Local read — Mississippi
Gulf coast hauls in Mississippi are usually short runs from a marina slip or canal to the processing yard, though inland moves toward Corinth or Grenada cover more ground. Hurricane season pushes a wave of work through the fall, and spring cleanouts keep the schedule busy after that. Center consoles and bay boats make up a lot of what we haul. Send photos, hull length and beam, and both ZIP codes for a flat quote.
How boat transport works
Send photos, hull dimensions, and both addresses. The quote comes back the same day, flat, with permits and fuel inside it.
On pickup day the crew loads and lashes the boat, checks tie-downs and lights, and photographs everything before the wheels turn. You get the same photos at delivery, door to door, whether the drop is a marina, a storage yard, or a driveway. The boat rides on our insurance from load to unload, and you see the certificate before you book, not after something goes wrong.
Carrier, not broker
A hauler, not a broker
Type boat transport into a search bar and most of what comes back is brokers: platforms that take your job, post it to a board, and sell it to whichever driver bids lowest. You find out who is actually towing your boat when the truck shows up. That is not how this works here.
My crews run their own trucks and trailers, the person who quotes the job is the person responsible for it, and the driver's name and number are in your hand before pickup. Twenty years of moving boats, and the job never gets handed to a stranger.
What we haul in Mississippi
Powerboats & runaboutsBow riders, deck boats, and ski boats on our trailer or yours.
Cabin cruisers & center consoles24–40 ft hulls loaded, lashed, and delivered.
PontoonsRebuilt, aging, or straight from the dealer. Tubes strapped and rolled.
Anything wider than 8.5 feet is an oversize load on every road in the country — that permit is our paperwork, not yours. Dead hulls headed for the scrap yard fall under Mississippi boat removal, not this page.
Transport itself needs no title, and a boat bought without paperwork can still be moved. What Mississippi requires when a boat changes hands is on the state boat-removal page. Read Mississippi title & sale notes → Oversize permits are our job, not yours.
Boat hauling in Mississippi: what owners ask
How much does it cost to haul a boat in Mississippi?
Mississippi pricing depends on distance, hull size, and whether the boat sits in a marina slip, a canal, or a driveway when we arrive. The rates in the pricing section above break down what moves that figure. Send photos and both ZIP codes and we will turn around a firm number quickly.
How much is a mile to transport a boat?
Every Mississippi route prices differently per mile, and the rates in the pricing section above lay it out fully. A short Mississippi haul often costs more per mile than a longer one, since loading and rigging the boat is a fixed cost the truck carries no matter how far it drives after that.
Can you move a 40 ft boat?
We move forty-foot boats out of Mississippi regularly, hydraulic trailers handle the weight and length without trouble, and any oversize paperwork is pulled on our side. Size alone almost never stops a job here. The real factor is lead time, since a bigger vessel takes more planning to schedule the right equipment.
Are you the actual hauler or a broker?
Our name is on the truck and the driver both, because we are the actual hauler, never a broker passing your job to someone else. Whoever quotes your Mississippi move is the one responsible for it. Before pickup you get a driver's name and number directly. That job never lands on a bid board.
Is my boat insured during transport?
Your boat rides on our insurance policy for the full trip, covered from the moment it loads until it is unloaded at delivery, not a policy borrowed from someone else. A certificate is available anytime before you book. We photograph the boat at pickup and again at delivery so you have a record.
Do I need a permit to move my boat, and who handles it?
Some Mississippi routes call for an oversize permit on a wide load, and that paperwork is ours to chase down, not something we hand back to you. It gets pulled before the truck leaves, and the cost is already built into the quote you accepted. There is no surprise fee waiting at delivery.
How far in advance should I book boat hauling in Mississippi?
Fall fills up fast in Mississippi once hurricane season winds down, and spring cleanouts keep pace right behind it, so two to three weeks of notice is the safe bet during those stretches. Slower months sometimes allow a quicker turnaround. Call with your dates and we will give you a straight answer.
