The final price tag will depend on the size and weight of the boat. If your boat is big, you can expect to pay more than someone whose boat is small. The loading method chosen also has a bearing on the cost. If you require a crane to load and unload your boat, this will add to the cost. The overall cost of shipping is also determined by the method that’s used to get your boat to the departure port. If overland transportation is needed, you will pay more.
