What do I need when I call to get a quote?
When calling for a free boat relocation quote please
have the following information available:
• City and State of Origin and Destination
• Type of boat (including model type)
• Dimensions including trailer (Length, Width, Height,
and Weight)
• Type of hitch the trailer has (Gooseneck, 5th wheel,
ball size, etc.)
How do I measure my boat?
• Overall Length: include bow pulpits, swim platforms,
motor brackets and the length of the motors
or outdrives in the raised position.
• Overall Height: is measured from the bottom of the
keel to the highest non-removable part of the
vessel.
• Beam: is measured as the widest point of the boat
including anything attached to the vessel.
How much notice in advance is necessary for boat
transport?
All Star requires at least two to three weeks notice
before the availability date for transport. This time
frame is crucial for the relocation process to ensure
that the correct type of truck is in your area for
pickup.
What kind of a truck will relocate my boat?
All Star Auto Shippers will use flat bed trucks, low boy
trailers, step-deck trailers, and tow behind to relocate
boats cross country. The type of transport truck will be
determined by the type of trailer the boat sits on. All
Star arranges for a compatible carrier to haul or pull
your sea vessel.
How should a boat be prepared for transport?
Your boat or jet ski(s) MUST be on a trailer for us to
transport them. Make sure that the boat is properly
secured to the trailer. Use extra straps and tie downs
if necessary. Both boat and trailer need to be in clean
condition for a proper inspection. If the boat has any
storage compartments, make sure they are closed and
locked. No loose items are to be left in the boat during
transport. Any and all boat related items must be packed
away in storage compartments. All Star Auto Shippers and
its drivers will not be responsible for objects that may
fly off or out of the boat during transport. It is the
responsibility of the pickup origin customer to properly
prepare the boat for transport.
Can the boat have canvas covers or shrink wrap during
transport?
Canvas covers should be removed as they may tear or fly
off during transport. Canvas covers tend to flap in the
wind, damaging the boat. If they are not removed, the
carrier cannot be responsible for damages. If shrink
wrapped, and the shrink wrap becomes un-repairable, it
will be removed to avoid damage from the shrink wrap
beating against the boat. The carrier will not be held
responsible in these instances. Please make sure that
your boat is secured properly to the trailer. Use extra
straps and tie downs if necessary.
