Boat transport in Texas — licensed, insured, any distance.

Most boat hauling jobs in Texas run between $2.50 and $5.00 per loaded mile, depending on the boat's size, weight, and whether wide load permits are required. A haul from Houston to Dallas on a standard 24-foot boat typically lands in the $400 to $700 range. Oversized boats or multi-state routes cost more. Hansons Boat Removal gives you a firm number before anything moves.

Texas requires an oversize permit any time a load exceeds 8.5 feet wide, 14 feet tall, or 65 feet in total length. Most boats over 22 feet trigger at least a width permit once they're on a trailer. Hansons Boat Removal handles all Texas Department of Motor Vehicles permit filings before the truck rolls, so you're not responsible for that paperwork.

Yes. Hansons Boat Removal runs long-distance boat transport from Texas to any state in the country. Routes from San Antonio to the Carolinas, or from Corpus Christi up to the Great Lakes, are jobs the crew handles regularly. Each state along the route has its own permit requirements, and Hansons Boat Removal pulls every one of them before departure.

Texas allows oversize loads up to 20 feet wide with a superload permit, though anything over 14 feet wide requires a TxDMV superload review and often a law enforcement escort. Hansons Boat Removal has moved vessels up to 55 feet in length on Texas roads, including wide-beam sport fishers out of Galveston. Boat size rarely stops the job, but it does affect the permit type and cost.

Two to three weeks is a safe window for most Texas boat hauling jobs, especially if your route crosses into another state or requires a superload permit. Summer and early fall get busy fast around the Gulf Coast, so boats moving out of Beaumont, Port Aransas, or the Lake Travis area in those months book up quicker. Hansons Boat Removal can sometimes accommodate shorter notice, but earlier is always better.
