Tips To A Smooth And Timely Boat Delivery
Share: Buying a boat is a luxury and needless to say
, it costs a lot of money. So after purchasing it, you want to make sure that it gets to your home port safely. In order to this, you must choose a professional boat delivery services company that has significant experience in transporting your specific type of boat.
Do note, however, that a boat or yacht transporter usually is not responsible for preparing the boat for transport. This part is the responsibility of the boat owner. Normally, it is the personnel of the chosen marina or boatyard that handles the boat preparation prior to transport and the task is done onsite.
A yacht transporter can help you look for a full service marina or boatyard as well as a qualified Marine Surveyor who will check that the boat has been prepared properly for transport. If boat preparation is not done properly, the carrier would have no choice but to ship the yacht as is which would put the boats safety at great risk. Despite this, the yacht transporter would not be held liable for any damage.
To make the boat delivery as smooth as possible, make sure the boat is ready to be loaded when the
yacht transporter arrives. This may seem like a trivial thing but its actually one of the best ways to help carriers prevent unnecessary delays, especially since there are other factors that can affect timely deliveries such as the weather and traffic.
Also, make sure that you have settled your financial obligations with the marina or the boatyard related to whatever service they rendered on the boat to be transported. Otherwise, they will not release the boat even if the carrier has already arrived. Pay the bills prior to the arrival of the
yacht transporter to avoid delays in loading.
When choosing a boat services provider, always look for a company that has all proper insurance. Remember that all boat movers are required to carry liability insurance. For boat owners who require other
boat delivery services, whether for import or export, there are also services available to help with compliance issues and/or tax matters to ensure you can legally use or resell the boat you are having delivered.
