Boat transport in New Jersey: sea to storage, any distance

Most boat hauling jobs in New Jersey run between $2.50 and $5.00 per loaded mile, with a typical in-state move landing somewhere between $400 and $1,200 depending on boat size and pickup location. Wider boats that need wide load permits, like anything over 8.5 feet beam, will cost more. Hansons Boat Removal gives you a flat number before we schedule anything.

Two to three weeks is a reasonable lead time for most boat hauling jobs in New Jersey. Summer and fall haul-out season, roughly August through November, gets busy fast, especially around marinas in Barnegat Bay and Sandy Hook. If you're working around a specific launch date, a yard appointment, or a weather window, book as early as you can. Hansons Boat Removal can sometimes fit urgent moves in sooner, but don't count on it in peak season.
