How Our Professional Boat Shipping Works

At Secure Auto Shipping, we prioritize the physics of a safe journey. Our process utilizes specialized equipment specifically designed for marine assets: including custom hydraulic trailers and heavy-duty strapping systems that secure your hull without stressing the gelcoat or structural integrity. Whether you are moving a center console on a versatile open trailer or a luxury yacht requiring oversized permits and pilot cars, every shipment is handled by a licensed and fully insured carrier.

We eliminate the logistical headache of terminal drop-offs by providing true door-to-door service: picking up from your marina or driveway and delivering straight to your destination with absolute integrity.

  • Sign Bill of Lading only when fully satisfied
Transport Options

Choose Between an Open or Enclosed Transport

Both options include full insurance coverage, door-to-door delivery, and a dedicated specialist. The difference is the level of protection for your specific bike.

Factors That Affect Your Motorcycle Shipping Cost

Distance

Longer hauls cost more in total, but often less per mile. Short-haul routes under 300 miles carry a minimum rate.

Carrier Type

Enclosed shipping costs 50–80% more than open transport due to limited availability and higher overhead.

Bike Weight & Size

Heavier, wider, or custom-built motorcycles may require specialized equipment and affect carrier pricing.

Season & Availability

Peak riding season (spring/summer) and regional demand can temporarily increase rates. Book early for best pricing.

"I've been using Secure Auto Shipping for some time now. I was convinced the very first time when I shipped one of my pride and joys, my Nor-Tech 52 Roadster. Trusting them with a half a million dollar boat was nerve-wracking, but their communication and professionalism made it an easy choice. I've used them several times since and they always deliver exactly as promised!"

Common Boat Shipping Questions

How much does it cost to ship a boat?
Rates are calculated based on the vessel’s size and total distance. For a standard boat with a beam width under 9ft, costs typically range from $1.50 to $2.50 per mile. For larger yachts or vessels with a beam over 12ft, rates increase to $2.75 to $3.75 per mile due to specialized equipment and permit requirements.
To get an accurate rate, you need three key measurements: the Length (from the tip of the bow to the center of the stern), the Height (from the highest non-removable point to the base of the keel), and the Beam Width (the widest part of the boat, typically mid-ship).
Yes, we provide comprehensive marine cargo insurance for every shipment. All carriers in our network are fully licensed, U.S.D.O.T verified, and bonded to ensure your vessel is protected from bow to stern throughout the journey.
Proper preparation is essential for a safe trip. You must clean the hull, drain all fuel and water tanks to 1/4 or less, and secure all loose gear or electronics. For taller vessels, arches or bridges may need to be lowered or removed to meet road clearance safety standards.
Our network is equipped for a wide range of marine assets: including center consoles, fishing boats, pontoons, jet skis, sailboats, and luxury yachts. We specialize in both standard trailers and heavy-duty hydraulic trailers for oversized vessels.
Yes, for boats exceeding standard road widths (generally over 8.6ft), we handle the entire logistics process: including state-by-state permits, specialized route planning, and coordinating pilot cars or escort vehicles when required.
We provide true door-to-door service, picking up directly from your marina, boatyard, or driveway and delivering straight to your destination. We coordinate with dock masters and terminal staff to ensure a seamless handoff at both ends.
