How does boat transport to your shop work?

We meet your trailer boat at a launch ramp near your slip, or pick it up from your storage yard, and bring it to our San Pedro shop on our trailer, then back when the repair is done. If the engine won't run, you arrange a commercial towing service to bring the boat to the ramp; we do not tow boats on the water.

Do you transport boats that are not running?

Yes. Once the boat is on our trailer, it does not matter whether the engine runs. Getting a boat that won't run from its slip to the ramp is up to you or a commercial towing service, since we do not tow on the water; at a storage yard, the yard loads it onto our trailer and its charge is listed on your estimate.

Is it better to trailer the boat to the shop than to run it there?

If the engine has a known problem, yes: running it can make the damage worse, and many repairs need the boat out of the water anyway. On our trailer the boat reaches our San Pedro shop without running the engine.

What types of boats can you transport?

We transport trailer boats such as center consoles, runabouts and cuddy cabins, as long as the length, weight and beam fit our trailer and the road rules; we confirm that before booking. Keel sailboats and larger boats need a crane or travel lift and a boatyard, so ask us first.

Do you coordinate with marinas and harbor masters?

Yes. We agree the ramp time and any access rules with the marina or the ramp operator, so the haul-out goes smoothly.

Can transport be combined with repairs or maintenance services?

Yes. Transport is usually booked together with the repair or maintenance the boat needs at our shop, and you get a written estimate for the whole job before any work starts.

About this service

Logistics Solved

From the Ramp
to Our Shop.

If your trailer boat needs shop work and you have no trailer, our boat transport service fills the gap. We meet the boat at the launch ramp, load it onto our trailer and bring it to our San Pedro shop for repair.

Getting to the Ramp

If the engine runs, you bring the boat to the launch ramp at the agreed time. If it does not, a commercial towing service can bring it there for you; we do not tow boats on the water.

No Trailer? No Problem.

Many boat owners don't own a trailer. We bring ours and set it up so the hull is properly supported for the trip.

Your Insurance

Keep your own boat insurance in force during the move, and check with your insurer that it covers the boat while it is on a trailer and on the road.

The Transport Chain.

Step by step, from the ramp to the shop.

Meet at the Ramp

We agree a time at a launch ramp near your slip. You bring the boat to the ramp, or a commercial towing service does if the engine won't run, and we have the trailer ready.

Haul Out

We back our trailer down the ramp and winch your boat on, securing the bow eye and setting the guides.

Secure & Prepare

We strap down the stern, check the load, and lower antennas for road clearance.

Transport

We bring the boat to our boat repair shop in San Pedro, where repairs start once you approve the written estimate.

Our Trailer.

For boats that fit a road trailer.

Common Questions

My boat is on a lift. Can you get it?

Often, yes. If the lift works, the boat is lowered into the water and brought to the ramp by you or a commercial towing service. If the lift is stuck, a crane service we work with or refer you to can lift the boat out; their charge is listed on your estimate.

Does the price include the return?

Transport quotes are typically "Round Trip" (Ramp -> Shop -> Ramp), but we can also quote one-way moves if you plan to launch elsewhere or sell the vessel.

Preparing Your Boat for Transport

A little preparation makes the trip to our boat maintenance shop smoother. Before pickup day, stow loose gear in the cabin and cockpit, and tell us about anything that stands tall above the hardtop or T-top. Items such as boat antennas are lowered at the ramp for road clearance, so let us know if any of yours are fixed in place or hard to fold.

When you ask for a quote, give us the boat's length, weight and beam, so we can confirm it fits our trailer. If the boat is on a lift, tell us whether the lift works; if it is stuck, a crane service we work with or refer you to can lift the boat out.

Boat Pick Up and Return to the Water

Because transport is usually quoted as a round trip, boat pick up and return are planned as one job: we collect the boat at the ramp or yard, bring it to the shop for repair and launch it at the same ramp when the work is finished, ready for you to take back to your slip. If you plan to launch somewhere else or sell the vessel, ask for a one-way move instead.
