Dale's take on Arlington

Arlington's owner sold the house before he sold the boat, and the new buyers want the driveway empty by closing. A sailboat damaged in a fall storm needs a repair yard that isn't anywhere near the marina where it's been sitting. Neither situation waits for a better week.

My crew handles it with our own truck and trailer, rated for the hull, and we haul door to door, with Fort Myer on the same route. The paperwork is ours before the wheels turn. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved. Details on the Virginia boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in Arlington

A vessel still worth moving is what fills the Arlington schedule, whether it is coming off a lift, out of storage, or away from a house about to sell. A storm-damaged hull headed to a repair yard, a relocation delivery, a dealer pickup: these are the jobs that fill the schedule here. Our boat movers arrive with a truck and trailer rated for the hull, load it, lash it, and photograph it before the wheels turn, insured from pickup to drop, with Fort Myer on the same route. Send the dimensions, the dock or driveway it starts at, and the destination. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Arlington

Stingray 195 removal Arlington VA

Hauling a bowrider out of a Arlington storage lot

A 19 ft Stingray 195 bowrider had been sitting in a side yard in Arlington County for three years. The swim platform was delaminated, fiberglass was chalky, and the owner had stopped thinking about it until he decided to sell the property. The trailer was still serviceable, but the boat had settled into the grass and wasn't going anywhere on its own.

How boat hauling in Arlington works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 Virginia boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Arlington boat transport

How much does boat hauling cost in Arlington?
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?
There is no flat per-mile number. Loading and rigging cost the same whether the trip is short or long, so short runs cost more per mile than long ones. The rates above already account for that curve.
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?
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?
Yes, from load to unload it rides on our policy. A certificate of insurance is available before you book, not after. We photograph the boat at loading and at delivery for the record.
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 Arlington?
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.
