Dale's take on Shirley

Shirley sits on Long Island's south shore, where boats end up in yards, marinas, and storage lots for years. We move them out. Whether your boat is a 16-foot center console, a 32-foot cabin cruiser, or a sailboat that hasn't left the trailer in a decade, we handle the transportation and haul-out. Most boat transport companies quote you a price and disappear. We show up, measure your vessel, confirm the size and weight, and move it safely to wherever it needs to go. The crew knows the roads around Shirley, the bridge clearances, and the marinas from Mastic Beach to Moriches. One call gets you a bid. We handle the rest.

My crew hauls the vessel door to door with our truck and trailer, boat hauling from Shirley driveways and marina slips. Jobs in Mastic often stack with a Shirley call, so the tow schedule moves fast. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved, details on the New York boat hauling page.

What's covered

What boat transport covers in Shirley

Boat transport in Shirley means moving your vessel safely from one location to another, whether that's a delivery after a sale, a seasonal run from a marina to storage, or a trip to a repair yard across the state. We handle sailboats, cabin cruisers, Sea Ray runabouts, and yachts of all sizes. The same routes run through Mastic Beach and Moriches, so we're familiar with the roads and the clearances. When your boat arrives for transport, we measure the beam and length, confirm the trailer and truck we'll need, and assess any damage to the hull or equipment before loading. As a marine transport provider, we cover the hull, secure the railings, and ensure safe transit to your destination. The distance your boat travels and the size of your vessel determine the equipment and crew we dispatch. We ship boats across Long Island and beyond. The process steps below show how scheduling works. As boat movers running our own equipment, we do not farm the job to another provider.

How boat hauling in Shirley works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 York boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Shirley boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Shirley?
There is no flat quote until we see the boat and the route. The rates above show how short runs and long runs price differently. Send photos and both ZIP codes and the number comes back before we book.
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. 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?
Direct carrier, not a broker. The person who quotes is the person responsible. Your boat never gets resold to whichever driver bids lowest.
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?
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 Shirley?
Two weeks is a good target. Peak season, more like three. Oversize hulls need extra runway to line up the trailer and pull the permit.
