Welcome to 911 Transporting, your trusted partner for all your boat transportation needs in Florida. We understand the significance of adhering to the regulations set by the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT), and our team of professionals ensures strict compliance to ensure a seamless and hassle-free transport experience.

Our boat transportation services in Florida strictly adhere to the following regulations and requirements:

Hours of Operation: The general operating hours for boat haulers in Florida when transporting an oversize boat are from half an hour after sunrise to half an hour before sunset, Monday through Friday. On Saturdays, boats can be moved until noon with the appropriate permit.

Permits: Boat haulers and movers in Florida must obtain permits when boats exceed 8.5 feet in width and 13.5 feet in height when loaded. All oversize transports require a Florida State permit.

Escort Requirements: When the boat exceeds 12 feet in width, one pilot car is required, and if it exceeds 14 feet in width, two pilot cars are necessary. In the Florida Keys, any boat wider than 10 feet and one inch will require an escort and must be escorted through at night.

Travel Restrictions: Fortunately, the regulations in Florida are relatively lenient for transporters. Once a transport company moves a boat onto the main highway system, the route becomes smooth sailing.
