Our boat transportation services in New York strictly adhere to the following regulations and requirements:
State Regulations: New York has strict oversize transportation regulations, making it challenging for boat transporters and haulers to navigate. Transporting boats to or from Long Island, New York has its own set of strictly enforced regulations, leading many transport companies to avoid offering services in the area. The complexities and strict regulations in New York result in additional costs for boat transportation.
Oversized Definition: Boats exceeding 8.6 feet wide and 13.6 feet tall are considered oversize in New York.
Hours of Operation:
Operating hours are from sunrise to sunset Monday through Friday. Major cities have their own restrictions for transporting oversize boats.
Permits: Yacht transportation and boat transport for any boat over 8'6" wide must have a state-issued permit, and a permit service is required. It is recommended to allow at least 24 hours prior to transport to obtain the permit. Additional permits may be required in some cities and metropolitan areas.
Escort Requirements: Transporting oversize boats wider than 10 feet requires one escort, while boats over 12 feet wide need two escorts. For boats taller than 13.6 feet, a pole car is necessary.
Long Island Travel Restrictions:
Long Island has specific rules and regulations for transporting oversize boats, including the need for extra escorts, pole cars, and police escorts. Nighttime operation is required for boats wider than 10 feet. Shipping boats to or from Long Island may involve higher expenses due to the extra requirements and restrictions. 911 Transporting recommends considering alternative pickup or delivery locations.
