20+ Years of Experience
SERVICES
Powerboat Transport
From multiple small boats on one truck to the large yachts on our super-stretch trailers and all boats in between, we can transport powerboats from 16' to 63' in length with ease.
Sailboat Transport
Sailboats are very different from power boats and require special knowledge and expertise to transport. Our 22 years of experience allow us to move sailboats from 16' to 63' in length safely to your new home port.
Special Projects
We have the unique ability and experience to make the seemingly impossible transport a reality, from home-made boats on tennis courts, to WWII PT-Boats, to Paddle-wheelers and saving the sale of a top customer's new yacht. Check out our most memorable moves.
Port Services
With most large yachts sold in the United States being manufactured overseas, a relatively novel part of the marine transport industry is port operations, where brand new vessels are offloaded directly from a freighter right on to the transport truck. Few can make this go as smoothly as the Hurricane team. Working in a port is extremely challenging, from the required paperwork to security clearances, fluid loading schedules, different foreign languages, and the dangerous loading process itself. If a mistake is made it can be costly with delays in transport, adding billable costs to the customer or delays in receiving their new boat, increasing floor plan time. Over the years, our team has gained the knowledge, experience, and has shown the ability to “change on the fly” that allows us to shine in this segment.
When we arrive at a port, every member of our team has the required TWIC card with security clearance to work inside a Federally controlled area. We have the proper paperwork required to pick up the vessel, including all oversize permits, and our equipment is set up and ready to load the vessel we are tasked with transporting. We pride ourselves in limiting the amount of time that we tie up a crane, a ship and its crew. There is simply no other transport company that can make a port pickup go as smoothly, from start to finish, as Team Hurricane can.
