Dale's take on Kent

Hansons Boat Removal handles boat transport in Kent for owners who need to move a vessel safely and reliably. Whether you're relocating a boat across town, shipping it to seasonal storage, or transporting it after purchase, we manage the full job. We're a boat transport provider familiar with Kent's roads, marinas, and the clearances your boat needs. Most boat transport companies charge by distance and size. We charge a flat rate based on your boat's dimension and destination. No surprises, no hidden fees when the transporter arrives.

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

What's covered

What boat transport covers in Kent

Boat transport in Kent means moving your vessel safely from one location to another, whether you've just bought a sailboat from a dealer upstate, need seasonal storage transport from a marina, or are relocating your yacht within Ohio. We're boat movers who handle everything from compact fishing boats to larger vessels, and we bring the right equipment for each job. A Sea Ray heading to winter storage, a sailboat moving between marinas, a yacht transitioning to a new dock, even a pontoon going from repair to its new owner's location, all follow the same process on our end. The same route runs through Sugar Bush Knolls and Brimfield, so we're familiar with the roads and clearances around Kent. We measure your boat's dimension, confirm the destination, and make sure the trailer and truck are the right fit for the distance and boat size. Our marine transport service handles the full handling, from haul to delivery. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat hauling in Kent works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 Ohio boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Kent boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Kent?
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 Kent 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 Kent?
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.
