How to Choose a Boat Trailer

Talk with your service provider about boat transport trailer options, as they will need to know how you want your boat to be transported. You can have your boat transported on its own trailer, however most companies like D&E Transport can provide one for you. The price will be affected by how you need your boat transported.

  • Your Own Trailer: If you use your own trailer or cradle, you must take full responsibility of any damage or mishaps that may occur as a result of your trailer not being fit for transport. Be sure to inspect your trailer thoroughly, checking the lights and tires. Note: It is suggested that wooden boats be transported in their own custom cradle, as they are made to spread the boat's weight properly.
  • The Carrier’s Trailer: If using one of the transporter's boat trailers, discuss with them any specific details they may need you to comply with. They will also inform you how they can load and unload your boat. Research and inform yourself about the different options of boat trailers there are, as you may end up picking one company over another based on the boat trailer transport they offer.
