Cargo Insurance:
Boat Shipping International offers all risk port to port for boats we are shipping. The rate is determined by the value and destination of the boat. The maximum insurable value is the cost of the boat, plus the cost of the freight, plus 10%. Shrink wrap is required to obtain all risk cargo insurance.

Water Deliveries
When boats are too high to transport to the port by truck we offer loading supervision for water deliveries. If necessary, Boat Shipping International will provide a licensed captain to pilot the boat. A custom made cradle will also be delivered to the port to coincide with the lift-out schedule.

Cradles & Trailers:
If your boat is not equipped with a trailer, you will need a cradle. Cradles are one of the most critical components in the shipping package. Our designer will build a steel and/or wood cradle to meet the specifications of your boat. Whether you need a cradle for a large yacht or small runabout, power or sail, Boat Shipping International will meet your needs. Select "need a cradle" and include dimensions and weight on our quote form and we will include a cradle in our shipping quotation.
Shrinkwrap
Shrink wrap not only keeps your boat clean, it is also a theft deterrent. The cost is minimal compared to the benefit and is computed based on the length and beam of the boat. Boat Shipping International can provide shrink wrap services on site or dockside.
Services
When receiving an insured boat at destination, you should make a careful inspection. If there is any damage, you must report it immediately to the carrier and arrange for a survey with a local agent for the insurance company. A claim must be filed in writing with the agents of the shipping line before removing the boat from the port. Failure to do this may nullify your right to claim. When presenting a claim the following documents must be included:
1. Copy of the Bill of Lading,
2. Original Certificate of Insurance
3. Original Survey Report if any.
