Boat Delivery VS. Yacht Delivery
Yacht delivery is a method of moving large boats and sailboats too big to put on a trailer and haul down the road with a truck.
Boat delivery is very similar. We drive slightly smaller motor boats and sailboats from your departure marina to the destination marina or dock of your choice on water, under the boats own power by Captain.Captain James Lowe Boat delivery is Florida based. However, we relocate boats in the U.S. Gulf or to and from the Atlantic and Intercostal and Inland waterways. As well as the Bahamas and Caribbean deliveries.
If you have a boat too big to put on a truck or trailer and need to move the boat from one location to another, you also have the option of moving the boat over the water, under its own power by delivery Captain James Lowe.![]()
If you recently moved or you're thinking about buying a larger boat then consider how you're going to relocate the boat to the new destination.
Any boat over 8.5 feet wide or 13.6 feet in height cannot go down our highways. You may get away with a wider boat on the highways using escorts, wide load signs and expensive permits but you still won't be able to go under any highway overpass bridges. U.S. highway bridges and powerlines stop you going any taller than 13.6 feet. Subtract from that the height of a trailer capable of carrying this large of a boat. If the boat is more than about 10 feet from the bottom of the keel to the top of the house it simply not going down a U.S. highway. And yes, there are some company's out that will disassemble your boat, ship it in pieces and then re-assemble when it arrives to its destination. And if you're landlocked that might be your only option.
However, if you are on a river or coastline then an over- the- water boat delivery can be quicker, simpler and probably cheaper. It will not be necessary to hurriedly disassemble and reassemble your boat.
Imagine having to remove the mast, tuna tower or taking the fly bridge or radar arches off the boat, disconnect all your electronics, load it on a truck, drive to new area, unload it, block it up, put it all back together again, launch it in the water and hope it works. STILL having to take it from the point of reassembling to the dock of your choice. .... Thats a LOT!!
A boat delivery by Captain James Lowe is a SIMPLE and SAFE way to deliver your boat to a new location.
