Has anyone recently freighted a boat on a trailer from the east?
Im getting a 21 foot fg boat on mackay trailer from sydney and need some advice , transport company recommendations. Got a ballpark quote for 6k from one company just for trailer back cartage depot to depot.
Deal going through next few days so any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Yep, anywhere between $4 to $10k for a trailer.
speak to Aaron at kitson group, they have a couple of trucks a week. You may be lucky to get an empty backload truck.

Train
If you can get it into a container and put it on the train, heaps cheaper.
Sea freight is even better again.
We pay 1200 ex Brisbane to Perth for 40' containers.

Forgot about
Forgot about shipping.
Wilhelmsen have RORO (roll on, roll off) shipping, where you park the trailer onthe ship, and take it off.
I looked into it for getting a 9m yacht across and one way it was around 5 grand I recall.
google search Wilhelmsen RoRo
