HOW TO PREPARE YOUR BOAT FOR SHIPMENT

 

1.        All items inside your boat such as galley utensils, plates, cups etc. should be

PROPERLY secured.  No fire extinguishers or firearms may be stored on the boat during shipment.

 

2.        All ports, hatches and windows should be locked shut and the locking device taped

over.

 

3.        We do not assume responsibility for canvas covers or tops, which remain topside

during shipment.

 

4.        We cannot assume responsibility for missing items (Personal belongings and

equipment).

 

5.        Fuel and water should be no more than 1/4 full.  The US Coast Guard and DOT

classifies gasoline as a flammable substance and requires less than 1/4 full.

 6.   Cabinet doors and drawers and all lockers inside the craft should be secured shut.

           7.     Plastic or plexiglass fly bridge windshields should be removed and stored inside

the craft.

 

    8.    We do not assume liability for boats that are already damaged, and or rotten; wood

            construction or fiberglass construction.   

 

9.    Loading and unloading the boat is the responsibility of the owner of the boat. 

Owner must make their own arrangements to pay for these services.

 

        10. We allow (1) one hour for loading and (1) one hour for off-loading.  Additional time

    will be charged at $500.00 per hour.

 

      We would be glad to answer any questions you might have concerning the

transportation of your boat.  Our many years of experience will give you a safe delivery.
