What is the height restriction on shipping a boat?
The legal height for transporting boats on the road is 13’6″ high. That means when we get the boat on our trailer that is what the overall height is. Usually, if the boat height is 12′ we are within the legal height limitations. If you choose a marina or boatyard to which there is no clear access, the carrier cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by branches or wires. The larger the boat, the more clearance required. Boats that are over 8’6 wide are considered an “oversize load” and will require permits to be transported in every state. Boats that are over 12′ wide may require a “certified escort”. These permits will be obtained by us during transport and run from $20 to $60 per state that we haul through and are ordered the day of your transport (they expire after 7 days). Upon delivery our driver will provide you with the amount owed for obtaining the permits for reimbursement. If we are re-routed by the state when obtaining permits you will incur extra charges this ONLY hap
