Although boats are designed to sail, there are many situations where transporting a vessel by truck is the smarter, safer, and faster option compared to transport by sea. Whether you're moving your boat for maintenance, winter storage, a boat show, or to a new marina — here are the top five reasons why road transport is often the better choice.
Unlike sea transport, where your schedule can be ruined by wind or storms, truck transport is reliable regardless of the weather. Your boat stays safe and dry, and delivery happens as planned.
Road transport takes your boat directly from point A to point B — no waiting, no detours, and no delays. It’s the perfect solution for tight deadlines, like exhibitions or seasonal service appointments.
Long-distance sailing consumes fuel and wears out equipment and the hull. With truck transport, your boat stays untouched, protected from any physical strain.
If your boat is damaged, under repair, or not yet ready for the water, sea transport is not even an option. Road transport ensures safe delivery regardless of your boat's condition.
Some destinations — like workshops, storage facilities, or showrooms — are far from the coast. A truck can deliver your boat directly to the desired location, and with our mobile crane, we can load or unload it even where no marina equipment is available.
Novak Trans, based in Biograd na Moru, Croatia, offers professional boat and cargo transport services — including a mobile crane for safe lifting and launching. With years of experience, we’re the trusted partner for boat owners, marinas, and shipyards across Europe.
