Boat Relocation Services by Land or Sea
Our luxury marine transport utilizes state of the art Hostar hydraulic trailers, capable of hauling boats up to 30,000 lbs. Hydraulic trailers enable us to pick up/deliver boats from any location (land or water) without need of a lift. Our trailers are equipped with air-ride suspension, ensuring the smoothest ride. Trailers are towed by powerful Ram 5500s custom-outfitted for long haul transport with additional fuel tanks and fifth wheel. Our drivers are Class A CDL licensed, background-checked, and TSA-approved with TWIC cards for access to all secure areas of ports throughout the United States. Shoreline Sherpas is DOT licensed and insured.
Whether you need to move your boat from drydock into the water in one location or transport it anywhere in the county, Shoreline Sherpas provides the most professional services at competitive rates. As required for long haul transport of oversize boats, Shoreline Sherpas handles all of the logistics required, permitting, arranging for pilot cars, etc.
Shoreline Sherpas also provides services to prep your boat for transport or storage (shrink wrap etc.), boat storage, and salvage services utlizing specialized marine-salvage airbags to raise damaged vessels (grounded or submerged) in preparation for transport to repair or junk.
And if you prefer to transport your boat by sea, Shoreline Sherpas provides Captain services.

Shoreline Sherpas was founded and is run by Brian Bodell.
Brian is a lifelong boater with 25 years of experience in long haul boat transport. He founded Shoreline Sherpas after building and selling several other successful businesses in contracting and real estate. Shoreline Sherpas is a labor of love allowing Brian to fuse his lifelong passion for boating with an opportunity to engage his adult son with disabilities as his “wingman”. Shoreline Sherpas is based in Westport CT and Palm Beach FL, specializing in transport along the Eastern seaboard from Maine to Miami.
