Shipping a trailer boat from Australia to New Zealand is a relatively simple process, especially when compared to other vehicle types.

✈️ How the Process Works

Shipping a trailer boat to New Zealand is typically very straightforward:

1. Tow-In: We collect your caravan or you deliver it to a depot or to the port
2. Loaded by Tow: The trailer boat is towed onto the vessel and secured safely.
3. Shipped Across: Roll-on, roll-off vessels sail from Australia to New Zealand regularly.
4. Tow-Off & Inspected: Once the trailer boat arrives, it’s towed off and inspected by NZ MPI for biosecurity.
5. Delivered to NZTA Testing Station: We tow it to a local NZTA-approved testing station.
6. WOF: Your trailer is issued a Warrant of Fitness.
7. Register Your Trailer: Once certified, it can be registered for use on NZ roads.
