Dale's take on Portsmouth

The family's new house sits inland, and the twenty-one-foot bowrider that has lived on a marina lift all summer has to make the trip with everything else on the moving truck's schedule. A yacht down the same dock faced the identical timeline: closing date fixed, slip needing to be empty, no time to sell before the move.

My crew handles the boat hauling with our own trailer, sized for the hull, running it door to door with Hampton and Exeter on the same route. Oversize paperwork is ours before wheels turn. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved. Details on the New Hampshire boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in Portsmouth

Boat transport in Portsmouth covers the vessel that has to follow its owner across a move on a fixed date, plus the marina slip and storm damage pulls common around here. Our movers load it, lash it, and photograph it at the driveway before it leaves, and it rides insured from load to unload at the new address. Send the boat's dimensions and both addresses, and Salem or Londonderry pickups run the same route. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Portsmouth

32-foot Carver motor yacht sitting in a marina slip in Portsmouth, New Hampshire before removal

Marina Boat Removal in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Slip fees on the New Hampshire coast do not pause for anyone's schedule. This 32-foot Carver had been tied up through a full season without the engines turning over once, the owner tangled up in a business sale that kept him out of the country for months at a stretch. The marina kept sending invoices to an address he wasn't checking, and by the time he surfaced, the balance had grown past what the boat itself was worth to him.

How boat hauling in Portsmouth works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 New Hampshire boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Portsmouth boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Portsmouth?
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?
Short runs cost more per mile than long ones — same loading work, less mileage to spread it across. The pricing above shows how it lands in Portsmouth routes.
Can you move a 40 ft boat?
Yes. Hydraulic trailers handle hulls that size, and oversize paperwork stays on our end, not yours. A larger vessel needs extra lead time to line up the trailer and route.
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?
Coverage runs from the moment it loads to the moment it comes off the truck. Certificate before booking, photos both ends.
Do I need a permit to move my boat, and who handles it?
Wider loads need an oversize permit and our team pulls it before the truck leaves. You never file paperwork or contact a state office. That cost sits inside the flat quote already.
How far in advance should I book boat hauling in Portsmouth?
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.
