What should you pay attention to when hiring a company to transport your boat?

It’s important to verify the costs for all services. Make sure there are no hidden fees or markups. Check that there aren’t too many administrative or miscellaneous fees. These can add up quickly and you don’t want to be surprised at the end of your trip.

If you are shipping multiple vehicles, ask if there is a bulk discount. Oftentimes, we can offer discounts because we can plan routes more efficiently if moving more than one vehicle.

Why should I hire Red Foot Haulers to transport my boat?

They are all highly trained and experienced at transporting all types of boats and trailers from the Maritimes to British Columbia.

We never take shortcuts. We always use the required escorts and high poles, and other safety services when different province regulations demand them.

We ship boats of all shapes and sizes including pontoon boats and oversized marine vehicles. Not only that, but we can accommodate sailboats with keels and other unusually-shaped vessels.

Red Foot Hauling’s experts know how the boat must be balanced, stabilized, secured, and supported. We know how to distribute the weight on both the boat and the trailer axles properly. All of our operators are experienced and careful.

Last but not least, Red Foot always secures the boat to the trailer correctly. We will match the truck and driver for the proper shipping of your boat.

Red Foot Haulers drivers will complete a condition check of your boat prior to loading and again at offloading for insurance purposes. The Red Foot Hauler team is highly knowledgeable and professional to assist with your boat transport needs.

How will my watercraft or trailer be transported?

Boats and watercraft can be transported by truck. We can tow the trailer (with the boat loaded) or load the boat and trailer on a flat-deck trailer.

This is a special type of “low-boy” trailer that can be used to move large boats without being too tall and requiring special permits.

When shipping your boat, you will have to decide if you want the boat on a trailer or not. If you have a trailer, the boat will be securely strapped to it at all times while in transit.
