Dale's take on Olympia

The bunks underneath a 28-foot yacht in Olympia were built for a boat two feet shorter, and the axle beneath them is rated for less than the hull actually weighs with fuel and gear aboard. The owner found this out at the top of the ramp, not before. A rig that cannot carry that weight safely should never leave the moorage with it anyway.

My crew runs Olympia jobs with our own truck and trailer, matched to the hull, and we haul it door to door from ramp to driveway. Lacey and Yelm sit on the same route, and oversize paperwork is ours before we hook up. A boat bought without its paperwork sorted can still be moved. Details on the Washington boat transport page.

What's covered

What boat hauling covers in Olympia

Boat transport in Olympia means getting a vessel that outgrew its trailer to wherever it actually needs to be, safely and on a rig built for the weight. Moorage transfers, de-winterizing runs each spring, and delivery after a private sale make up the work here in Thurston County. Our movers bring a rig rated for the hull, load and lash it at the marina, photograph it, and it rides insured start to finish. Rainier and Tenino sit on the same route. Send the dimensions and the pickup address and we quote it same day. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Olympia

Catalina 27 removal Olympia WA

Olympia, WA: 27 ft Catalina Gone in One Morning

A 27 ft Catalina 27 sailboat had been sitting on concrete blocks in a residential yard near Lacey for three seasons. The standing rigging was seized solid, and the sails were still in the bag, rotted through. The owner had inherited it from a relative, had no title in the drawer, and couldn't figure out what to do with it.

How boat hauling in Olympia works

  1. 1

    Send photos, dimensions, and both ZIP codes

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

    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 Washington boat hauling pricing section.

Common questions about Olympia boat transport

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