What Cross-border Vehicle Shipping Services are Available for Marine Vessels?
Boat Toronto provides specialized cross-border vehicle shipping services for marine vessels from its base in the Greater Toronto Area. Unlike general car shipping companies, horizontal logistics are managed using proprietary Conolift hydraulic trailers capable of transporting boats up to 50 feet in length.
For international moves between Canada and the United States, the service includes:
- Cross-border logistics and permit navigation to ensure compliance with international regulations.
- Handling of mandatory documentation, such as CBSA reporting and private boat reporting in Canada, to prevent border delays or seizures.
- Planning and execution of routes from GTA bases to nearby U.S. ports.
- Specialized handling for oversize loads, which involves obtaining necessary permits and following safety signage requirements.
Boat owners are advised to prepare their vessels by removing batteries and installing custom-fit supports prior to transport. The company offers a free custom quote for these long-distance relocations, with pricing determined by the vessel size, weight, and specific route requirements.
