How to measure your boat (the schematic)

Three numbers decide your trailer, your route and your permits. Here is exactly where they are on the boat.

โ’ถ LOA ยท bow tip to stern, swim platform includedโ’ธ height on trailerground to hardtop/antennaโ’ท Beam = widest point of the hull (seen from above) ยท over 8'6" triggers oversize permits, we price and file them

โ’ถ LOA (length overall)

Bow tip to stern including pulpits and swim platforms. Sets the trailer choice.

โ’ท Beam

The widest point of the hull. Over 8 ft 6 in means an oversize load; pontoons and cats usually are.

โ’ธ Height on trailer

Ground to the highest point loaded. Route planning keeps you under 13 ft 6 in bridges, or plans around them.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to ship a boat?

A 20 ft bowrider on its own trailer prices $3.46 to $3.84 per mile on LoadLoom today (Standard service, direct-pay, benchmark lanes: Toronto to Montreal $1,468 CAD, Miami to Atlanta $2,557 USD, Vancouver to Calgary $1,960 CAD); wide-beam and cradle moves run more. The form above gives your exact locked price.

Can you ship a boat without a trailer?

Yes: hydraulic yacht trailers or a cradle on a flatbed. Answer No to the trailer question and the quote adjusts.

Does my sailboat mast have to come down?

For road transport, yes. We coordinate unstepping with your marina and the mast rides secured alongside the hull.
