For some people, no place is as comforting as the water. Being able to spend time it surfing, boating and swimming is great, but for others there’s no place like home quite like the water. In those instances, a boat home is the perfect solution. Just like a house, you can get tired of the waters that your boathouse is located in. If it’s time for you to move or you’re simply ready for a change of pace, knowing that there’s always other waters that you can move to.
If you are the owner of a houseboat, and you want to move to shores on a different side of the country, there are a few ways that you can get there but some options are better than others. At Secure Boat Shipping, we offer services that help get your boat or yacht where you need it to be. When you decide to do this, there are a few steps that to complete ahead of time.
Unpack
It’s your home, so it goes without saying that all of your belongings are on the boat. If you’re going to ship your houseboat across the country, then you’re going to have to take your belongings off and move them separately. This may seem a hassle, but depending on how far you’re moving, it might be your best option.
Fuel Up
Make sure that there is fuel in your houseboat so that when it is delivered, it’s quick and easy to dock the boat in your new port. And it’s much better than having to gas up once you finally get to the destination. You won’t want to fuel up entirely, but enough to get the boat into the water until you can.
Secure boat shipping has worked with a variety of boats and traveled to a wide range of places. If you are considering moving your houseboat from one location to the next, you can count on our trustworthy transporters to get your home from one place to the next safely.
