When You Need To Move Your Boat Across the Country

Sometimes, you need to move your boat. Whether you're bringing it on vacation, and need to take it from our marina at the Lake of the Ozarks to another lake or body of water or you're moving across the country and need to find a transport service at the Lake of the Ozarks who can get it safely from point A to point B. When looking for the best boat transport service, there are a few things you need to keep in mind and a few things you should look for to make sure you get the best experience.



Make Sure They Can Haul Your Vessel

Different transport services offer different weights, but it's important to make sure that you find a company who can haul YOUR boat. At Village Marina, we have the ability to move your boat anywhere in the United States, and we specialize in vessels under 17,000 pounds. Does your boat weigh more than 17,000 pounds? We can still assist you with this, though we will coordinate with other boat haulers to make sure that your investment is safe during the journey that it makes over land.

How We Haul

Our main workhorse that we use is a 36' hydraulic trailer. The benefit to this method of hauling is that can pick up your boat from blocks, stands, water ramps, and even off travel lifts. This is a great option for areas that don't have access to full marina services like our Lake of the Ozarks marina.


Going to Florida?

One of the more popular travel options we provide is trips to and from Florida as our customers are heading there and back for the seasons. If you want to transport a boat from Missouri to Florida, contact us! We have discounts that are available for this type of situation, and we got to Florida quite often.

Get Your Boat Serviced First

Being a full-service marina has some major benefits for you as well. We can offer to have your boat fully serviced before it is transported which could include gel work, buffing, shrink wrapping, mechanical, oil changes, drive service, or even having a survey done. 


Whether you need your boat to be moved or to have service completed on it, please keep Village Marina in mind. We specialize in all things marine related, and we would love to show you how our five-star service department can assist you. Don't have a boat? We can help with that as well. Our boat showroom in Osage Beach, MO has many new and pre-owned boats at the Lake of the Ozarks to get you out on the water and enjoy what's left of the summer.

Image
The weather is getting increasingly more beautiful, and if you haven't been out on your boat yet this year - the water is probably calling to you. Before you hit the Lake, though, it's important to take a few necessary steps to get your boat ready for a day on thewater. De-winterizing your boat in the spring is just as important as winterizing it in the fall - and Village Marina is here to help. Here are a few thoughts on the importance of summarizing your boat at the Lake of the Ozarks , and how your local boat service department at the Lake of the Ozarks can help. Make Sure Your Boat is Ready to Hit the Water Having your boat de-winterized is important because if it was winterized, you won't be able to start it right up. Many boat owners have a series of tasks completed on their boat, from winterizing the battery to completely draining the cooling system. These actions will need to be reversed, along with several others. You'll want to have an oil change co

Our dock is fully serviced with with food, drinks and tube rentals. Before you enjoy your weekend on the water, here are a few safety tips to remember when filling your gas tank! 1. No matter where you are refueling, always clear the area of people who are not directly involved with fueling the boat. 2. Put out all smoking materials and extinguish all open flames. 3.  Be sure to secure your boat to the dock, and turn off the engine and all electronics. 4. Keep the nozzle in contact with the edge of the fill to prevent build up of static electricity to prevent sparking. 5. Do not top off your tank. Know how much fuel your tank holds and fill it to about 90%, since fuel expands as temperatures rise. 6. Clean up fuel spills immediately with an oil-only absorbent pad. Wipe down the bilge or any interior parts that many have come in contac
