What is the Boat Hauling Cost per Mile in Canada?

Boat hauling costs in Canada, specifically within Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area, are typically calculated using a rate per mile that decreases as the total distance increases. These rates are divided into three primary categories based on the scope of the haul:

Local Toronto (less than 50km): Rates range from $3.00 to $4.50 per mile. These moves usually include a base fee of $150 to $300 to cover fuel, basic permits, and tie-downs.

GTA Regional (50km to 500km): Rates range from $2.50 to $4.00 per mile. A base fee of $200 to $500 is typically added to account for oversize permits, route planning, and insurance.

Long-Distance Ontario/Canada (greater than 500km): Rates range from $2.00 to $3.50 per mile. These hauls involve a base fee of $500 or more, which covers cross-border fees (if applicable), specialized equipment setup like Conolift hydraulic trailers, and 24/7 security.

Final pricing is influenced by several factors beyond mileage, including the vessel size and weight (up to 50 feet), the season (with higher demand in winter), and the complexity of the route. For an accurate estimate, it is recommended to obtain a custom quote that acts as a specialized cost calculator for your specific vessel and destination.
