Boat transport in New York, sea to storage and everywhere between

Most boat hauling jobs in New York run between $2.50 and $5.00 per loaded mile, depending on boat size, weight, and route. A trailerable runabout moving from Buffalo to Long Island will cost less than a wide-load sailboat coming out of Lake Champlain. Permit fees, haul-out charges, and fuel all factor in. Hansons Boat Removal gives you a firm number before anything moves.

Routes through New York City boroughs or across the Tappan Zee corridor add extra routing restrictions. Hansons Boat Removal pulls all required state and local permits as part of the job, so you're not chasing paperwork.
