MoST Common

Bunk Transport

$225

Standard customer owned bunk trailer

The most common transport setup. Your boat rides on traditional carpeted bunks that support the hull along its length. Best for runabouts, wakeboard boats, fishing boats, and most fiberglass V-hulls.

Best for: Runabouts, ski boats, wakeboard boats, fishing boats, and most standard fiberglass or aluminum V-hull boats.

Scissors Transport

$245

Charter Marine scissors trailer

Our scissors trailer is designed for traditional pontoons not tri-toons. This type of trailer allows for the pontoon to be set down on blocks in the storage facility.

Best for: Two-tube pontoons that need to be transported and set down on blocks for storage. Save money on storage by not having to pay for trailer length over all for indoor storage.

Sea Leg Pontoon Transports

$295

Charter Marine Sea Leg Pontoon Transports

Our sea leg transports require addional straping on the trailers since the pontoons with sea legs rest on the scissor trailer frame.

Best for: Larger or heavier two-tube pontoons with sea legs that need additional straping during transport.

Tri-Toon Transport

$350

Specialized hydraulic trailer requires blocking in the storage facility

Tri-toons (three-tube pontoons) require additional blocking to safely support the center tube during service and storage. The premium reflects the extra equipment, time, and care required for these performance pontoons.

Best for: Three-tube performance pontoons, including heavy high-horsepower engines most tri-toons and luxury models are equiped with.

Common Questions

Questions About Transporting Your Boat?

When a boat moves from storage to your lake, conditions change. Cold spring lake and air temperatures, sometimes weeks or months of sitting in between seasons. The startup service verifies your boat runs properly, the water pump is functioning, and there are no leaks before you or a Charter Marine team member launches into unfamiliar water. It also protects us. We don’t want to deliver your boat and have it fail to start, leaving you or a Charter Marine Team Member stranded. The service ensures a smooth handoff every time.

Both are for pontoons. Pontoons with Sea Legs require extra straping on the trailer since the sea legs are resting on the pontoon trailer.

Tri-toons have a center tube that needs to be supported separately from the outer tubes. This requires additional blocking and careful positioning to prevent stress on the center tube while in storage or service. The rate reflects the additional time, equipment, and care required.

Yes, we can transport longer distances on request. Pricing for transports outside our standard service area is quoted custom based on mileage, time, and route. Call us with your specific origin and destination for a quote.

That’s exactly why we do the startup check – better to find out prior to launching the boat. If we find issues, we’ll explain what’s needed and provide a quote. Common findings include corroded battery terminals, bad spark plugs, water pump failures, corroded navigation lights, and stuck thermostats. Parts and additional labor are quoted before any work begins.
