Scottsville, KY – May 14, 2025 – Set Sail Boat Transport, a veteran-owned boat hauling company based in Scottsville, Kentucky, has officially expanded its service coverage across the U.S. The move comes as demand grows for trusted, long-distance boat transport services that balance safety, reliability, and personalized support.
Founded by a U.S. military veteran with years of hands-on experience, Set Sail Boat Transport has built a reputation for making boat shipping straightforward and stress-free. Whether it’s a small fishing boat, a family sailboat, or a larger yacht, the team is known for treating each job with the same care and attention they would give to their own vessels.
“We started local, and our business grew through word of mouth from people who just wanted someone they could trust to move their boat safely,” said the founder, Anthony Lautieri. “Now, we’re taking that same approach nationwide.”
What’s New?
With this expansion, Set Sail is now better equipped to handle:
• Coast-to-coast boat transport from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast, and everything in between.
• Cost-effective small boat hauling options for those who don’t have the gear or time to move their own watercraft.
• You get better availability and route planning for long-distance hauls.
• You receive regular updates by text, phone, or photos, whichever works best for the customer.
The company also manages the logistics that often trip up boat owners, like oversized load permits and safe loading practices, so clients don’t have to worry about navigating transport regulations on their own.
The expansion comes at a time when more people are buying boats online or relocating them between seasonal homes, coastal states, or marinas. For many, figuring out how to safely move a boat long distance is a major hurdle.
“Transporting a boat isn’t something most folks do every day, and it can be intimidating,” Lautieri explained. “We just want to make it simple, and make sure people feel informed and comfortable from start to finish.”
Set Sail’s veteran roots continue to influence how the company operates. Clear communication, accountability, and attention to detail are all part of their day-to-day process. Customers regularly mention how much they appreciate the honesty, care, and updates they receive throughout the journey.
