Dale's take on Burlington

Storage yards change hands in Chittenden County too, and the new owner running the lot outside Burlington doubled the rate the week the old contract expired, with thirty days to find the sailboat somewhere else. A pontoon stuck at a lake-place ramp with nowhere dry to sit through winter runs into the same deadline, just from the other direction.

My crew handles the boat hauling with our own truck and trailer, running it door to door, with Colchester and Williston on the same routes. Oversize paperwork gets handled on our end before pickup day. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved. Details on the Vermont boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in Burlington

Boat transport in Burlington means moving a vessel off a lake ramp, a marina, or a driveway and getting it into storage, to a repair shop, or to a new owner before a deadline hits. Spring de-winterizing and the fall storage cutoff both keep this route busy every year. Our boat movers show up with equipment sized to the hull, load, lash, and photograph it before it rolls, insured pickup to delivery. Essex Junction and Milton sit on the same routes. Send the boat size and both addresses. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Burlington

Small catamaran sailboat with faded hulls resting on a trailer beside a house

Boat Removal in Burlington, Vermont

That Hobie catamaran hadn't touched Lake Champlain water in at least eight years when the call came in. It had been bought secondhand for a summer of sailing lessons that never really took off, then it sat, first under a cover, then without one once the cover wore through. Trying to sell a small catamaran with sun-bleached hulls and a torn sail turned out harder than expected, two listings, no serious offers either time.

How boat hauling in Burlington works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 Vermont boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Burlington boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Burlington?
Cost in Burlington tracks distance, hull size, and season. The pricing section above shows how the rates combine. Send photos, hull length and beam, and both ZIP codes, and we hand back a firm number before we schedule.
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 Burlington routes.
Can you move a 40 ft boat?
Yes, 40 ft is well within our range. Big hulls need a permit and a routing plan; both are our job, not yours. Add a couple weeks to the schedule and it works.
Are you the actual hauler or a broker?
Our trucks, our drivers, our name on the job from quote to delivery. Nobody hands your boat off to a different carrier. The person who priced it stays responsible.
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?
Only wide loads need a permit, and we pull every one before the truck rolls. You do nothing on that front. The quote already includes it.
How far in advance should I book boat hauling in Burlington?
Two to three weeks is the safe window. Spring de-winterizing and fall storage push are the busy stretches. Bigger boats need longer lead time to route.
