Boat transport in NZ: what actually happens on the day

Trailer boats — you own the trailer, we hook it on and go. Cheapest option.

Boats without trailers — we load onto our own trailer or low-loader. Adds a lift at each end.

Marina-to-marina — we coordinate the haul-out crane, transport and re-launch.

Trailer boat, short local run: $250–$400

Trailer boat, Auckland–Wellington: $700–$1,100

Trailer boat, inter-island: $900–$1,400 (ferry included)

Boat without trailer: add $200–$500 for haul-out and re-launch each end

Boat length, beam and approximate weight

Trailer WoF status (we can arrange checks if needed)

Pickup and delivery addresses

Photos of the boat on its trailer (helpful for the quote)

We arrive in the booked window and text you photos before hitching up. Fuel and water tanks should be empty, gear stowed inside or removed.

Delivery is door-to-door or marina-to-marina. We call 30 minutes before drop-off.
