Boat Transport
We move boats around the midcoast
Moving your boat shouldn't be the stressful part of owning one. We haul and launch with our own hydraulic trailer and crew — the same hands that look after boats in the yard all winter. No third-party hauler, no strangers handling her, no second yard in the middle of the job. We take outside work too, whether or not she winters with us.
Request a moveOne crew, start to finish
Our hydraulic trailer backs down a ramp and lifts your boat straight out — no waiting on somebody else's travelift, no handing her to a crew you've never met. The same people who look after her all winter move her twice a year, in any weather the coast produces. We've been doing this for decades, and your boat is insured from the moment she leaves the water to the moment she's settled.
Ask about your boatLocal expertise, not a highway hauler
We know the ramps, the yards and the back roads of midcoast Maine because we work them every week. Mooring to yard, yard to yard, ramp to storage, and back to the water in spring. We stay close to home — so if your boat needs to go out of state, we'll tell you up front rather than quote a job we can't do well.

Send us what you know and we'll come back with a straight answer — no obligation, and the quote is free. Only your name and email are required; fill in what you can and we'll ask about the rest.
Before you call
It depends on length, beam, weight, draft and ramp access. Send us the make, model and where she's lying and we'll tell you straight away whether she's in our range — no back-and-forth.
Midcoast Maine — we know the local harbours, ramps and yards, not the interstate. Not sure if you're in range? Ask — it costs you a phone call.
Yes. Your boat is covered from the moment she leaves the water until she's settled. We carry full transport insurance and are happy to send the details before the move.
No. We move boats for owners and other yards whether or not they winter with us.
Yes. Our hydraulic trailer can take a boat off a ramp and put her back — which is usually what makes a local move straightforward.
Spring and autumn are when everyone wants to move, so the earlier you call the better — but we haul outside boats right through both seasons alongside our own. Tell us the boat and the window you're aiming for and we'll find you a slot.
Tell us the boat, and where she needs to be.
