Boat Transport in Massachusetts

Following state rules and regulations is essential while transporting a boat in the state of Massachusetts. You should take the following actions while moving your boat in Massachusetts:

Get a trailer: Ensure that your boat is safely towed on a trailer that is appropriate for its dimensions and weight. Also, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation must receive the trailer’s registration (MassDOT).


Get a permission: If the combined weight of your boat and trailer is more above 10,000 pounds, you must get an Oversize/Overweight (OS/OW) permit from MassDOT. The MassDOT website accepts online permit applications.

Check for road restrictions: You may not be able to carry your boat on certain routes in Massachusetts due to weight and size limitations. If there are any road limitations, check with MassDOT and adjust your route.

Secure your boat: To keep your boat from moving while being transported, you must use straps or chains to fasten it to the trailer. To shield it from garbage and the weather, you should also tarp the boat.

Make sure your trailer’s brake lights, turn signals, and taillights are all working correctly by checking your lights. The law in Massachusetts requires this.

Drive safely: Follow all traffic regulations and maintain a safe speed while moving your boat. Be mindful of any road dangers and maintain a safe distance from other cars.

You may move your boat securely across Massachusetts by following these instructions and abiding by all applicable laws and rules.
