Boat transport in Florida

How does boat transport work in Florida?

Florida Hauling keeps it simple: you get a quote, we show up, and your boat gets where it needs to go. No surprises at pickup, no hidden fees at delivery.

Step one is the quote. Tell Florida Hauling the boat length, beam width, and both pickup and drop-off addresses. For boats over 8.5 feet wide, we factor in the overland route and any wide load requirements. You'll get a firm number before anyone touches your trailer hitch.

Step two is pickup and load. Our crew arrives in the agreed window, inspects the hull, and secures the boat to the transport trailer with ratchet straps and bow stops rated for highway speeds. Boats go on their own trailers when possible — if yours isn't roadworthy, we bring ours.

How much does boat transport cost in Florida?

Most overland boat transport jobs in Florida run between $2.50 and $4.50 per loaded mile, putting a 150-mile haul from Jacksonville to Tampa somewhere in the $375–$675 range for a standard trailerable boat under 26 feet.

Florida's geography pushes prices up on a few specific routes. Runs to the Florida Keys require crossing 18 overseas bridges, which adds time and permitting cost. Panhandle pickups from Pensacola or Panama City add distance if delivery is to a South Florida marina. Boats over 40 feet or wider than 8.5 feet move as wide loads and need a separate permit from FDOT, which Florida Hauling files for you.

Other factors that affect your quote: whether you have a roadworthy trailer, the boat's weight, and seasonal demand (spring and fall are the busiest months for storage moves and haul-outs). Florida Hauling gives you a fixed quote before pickup, so there's no meter running on the road. Get your rate online or by phone today.

Common questions about boat transport in Florida

Short hauls under 50 miles typically run $150–$250 with Florida Hauling, depending on boat size and whether you have a trailer. Minimum haul fees apply on runs under 30 miles. Get a firm quote before booking so you know the exact number.
Same-day boat transport is available in most of Florida when you call before noon. Florida Hauling keeps routes open for Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami metro areas most weekdays. Weekend availability is tighter, so book 24 hours out when you can.
You don't have to be there in person, but someone who can authorize the load needs to be reachable by phone. Florida Hauling sends a photo confirmation when the boat is secured and again at delivery. Marina staff can receive the boat on your behalf if you set it up in advance.
Florida Hauling hauls boats up to 16 feet wide. Anything over 8.5 feet moves as a wide load with an FDOT oversize permit, which we file for you. Some South Florida routes require a pilot car for boats over 12 feet wide.
Yes. Florida Hauling runs the Keys regularly, including Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, and Key West. The Overseas Highway route adds planning time and a small route surcharge, but it's a standard run. Call for Keys-specific pricing.
Florida Hauling brings its own transport trailer when yours isn't safe for highway use. There's an added fee for that, which gets rolled into your quote. Don't try to haul on a trailer with bad bearings or a cracked tongue — it's not worth the risk on I-75.
Yes. Florida Hauling picks up from launch ramps as long as the ramp has truck and trailer access. Let us know the ramp name when you book. Some county ramps have weight limits or require a park pass, and we'll sort that out before arrival.
Standard trailerable boats under 8.5 feet wide need no special permit in Florida. Wider boats need an FDOT oversize permit, which Florida Hauling files. Night travel restrictions apply for the widest loads — your delivery window will reflect that in the quote.
