How Long Does it Take to Ship a Boat to Hawaii?
It takes an average of 15 days for a ship traveling from California to reach Hawaii. However, transit times depend on a number of factors, including the location of the departure port. From the West Coast of the United States, it can take between five and seven days for a cargo ship to reach Hawaii.
What Do You Need to Ship a Boat to Hawaii?
Hawaii requires annual registration for boats. Upon registration, a Certificate of Number and registration sticker is issued. These allow you to operate your vessel within the State’s waters. However, if your boat has already been documented by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), you won’t need to register it. The following documents are required when shipping your boat to Hawaii:
✓ Registration documents, where applicable
✓ Bill of sale where applicable

How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Boat to Hawaii?
There are a number of factors that come into play when determining the cost of shipping a boat from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii. The biggest of these factors is the size of your vessel. Larger boats cost more to place on ships than smaller ones, for example.
Another factor determining the cost is the distance from the departure port to wherever your boat is currently located. Whenever overland transportation has to be used, your cost will increase.
