Boat Transport

Boat transport involves the professional shipping of watercraft—such as yachts, sailboats, fishing boats, and jet skis—using carriers specifically designed for marine vehicles. Unlike standard auto shipping, boat transport requires specialized equipment, handling techniques, and compliance with maritime or road regulations, depending on the type of move.

At Interlane, we coordinate secure and insured transport of boats across Canada and the United States. Whether you're moving your vessel between marinas, relocating for seasonal use, or purchasing a boat in another province or state, we offer tailored solutions to fit your needs.

Our team uses hydraulic trailers, cradles, and flatbed carriers to ensure your boat remains secure and protected throughout the journey. For oversized or specialty vessels, we obtain the necessary permits and route planning to meet regional transport laws.

Insurance coverage is essential when transporting boats, as their high value and unique structure require additional protection. Interlane works only with carriers who provide adequate insurance and adhere to safety protocols during loading, transport, and unloading.

Before your boat is shipped, we guide you through proper preparation steps—such as draining fluids, securing loose parts, and inspecting the hull—to minimize risks and streamline the handoff to the carrier.
