Sailboat Transport
Keelboats and trailerable sailboats moved with mast, keel, and cradle realities in mind — not treated like a generic trailer load.
Sailboats ask more of a hauler than many powerboats of the same length. Draft, keel type, mast height, and whether the boat travels on its own trailer or a specialized cradle all change equipment and route choices. Logi Transports LLC plans sailboat moves so those details are settled before the truck is dispatched. That planning protects spars, gelcoat, and your calendar.
What we need to know
- LOA, beam, and draft — or keel type: fin, wing, full, or swing
- Whether the mast is stepped or will be unstepped for transport
- Trailer owned by you versus need for a transport cradle or specialized trailer
- Yard contacts for haul-out, mast work, and reload at destination
Many owners underestimate mast and boom packaging. Standing and running rigging should be organized so nothing flails on the highway. Spreaders, furling drums, and wind instruments are easy damage points if they are left loose. We will tell you what must be done by the yard versus what our crew handles on arrival.
Trailerable vs. cradle moves
Smaller trailerable sailboats that already sit on a legal trailer are often the simplest. Larger keelboats may need a cradle or lowboy-style arrangement and more careful route selection because of height and width. Oversize permits, pilot cars, and restricted travel hours can apply — we flag those costs and timelines in the quote so there are no surprises at dispatch.

Include mast status and yard contacts with your request so we can price the real job.
Seasonal and coastal moves
Snowbird routes, Great Lakes spring launches, and East Coast yard-to-yard transfers are common. Build buffer days around crane appointments and weather. If your destination slip is not ready, we can often stage at a yard — ask when you request the quote. Share preferred weeks rather than a single day when you can; flexibility helps us lock equipment without rushing permits.
