Frequently Asked Questions

Wise Move is the first of its kind of a platform in New Zealand, giving customers access to reliable, cost-effective and user-reviewed service providers with just a few short steps.

Founded back in 2017, our focus has always been on making moving as simple and as effortless as possible for both customers and the professionals they rely on.

The movers we feature on our platform are carefully vetted for their quality approach to boat transport – they’ve got the experience and the expertise to ensure the safety of your boat, wherever you need it to go.

It’s essential that you discuss your requirements with your boat transport company ahead of the delivery. Most of our movers on Wise Move are happy to transport any kind of boat in any condition, as long as everything is stipulated in the delivery request you post on our platform.

Despite this, we know that you’ll want to take those extra steps yourself to protect your boat while it travels – so to give you everything you need to get your boat prepped to go, we’ve come up with the following ideas for setting everything up for transport:

Clean the boat —before your boat gets loaded up to go, be sure to give it a good clean. This will reveal any marks, blemishes, scratches or more significant issues which you can note down.

Inspect the boat —a full inspection is your next step – go around your boat carefully, documenting any potential problems with pictures and notes so that you have something to refer back to.

Remove all loose and personal items —your transport professional may not be responsible for loose and personal items during the move, so make sure to remove anything that could bounce around and be damaged on the road.

Ensure all parts of the boat are prepared —run a checklist of things to secure onboard – drain all tanks on the boat, seal all hatches, remove drain plugs, tape and latch cabin windows from the exterior, and disconnect batteries and cables.

Discuss the boat with your mover —ensure your chosen boat transport professional has access to all of the information and dimensions of your boat to give them everything they need to do their job properly.

Another important thing to get sorted before your boat goes anywhere is measurements. Measuring your boat is the best way to ensure it isn’t too big for a regular transport vehicle, and it will help your chosen transporter establish what they need to carry out the job safely.

While you should be able to get the specifications for your boat online, it’s always better to measure it for yourself for that extra level of security. Here’s how to go about getting the measurements:

• Height – take your measurements from the highest static part of the boat right down to the bottom-most point of the keel.
• Length – take your measurements from the head of the bow of the boat (including any other parts), through to the centrepoint of the stern.
• Width – to measure the width of your boat, you’ll need to measure the beam. This will give you the closest measurement for the full width.

Boat owners know all too well how important it is to have access to boat movers you can trust for when you need your boat transported from door-to-door, waterway to waterway or ocean to ocean.

Created to connect boat owners with the biggest and best boat transport teams , Wise Move is New Zealand’s first and only boat transportation market. Getting linked with the right movers for you is quick and easy – just create a delivery job request on our platform and we’ll get it in front of a full network of boat transport companies and independent movers.

They’ll then respond with budget-friendly quotes that fit your boat move specifications – many of them will already be heading where your boat needs to go too, giving them that extra incentive to secure the job with competitive offers .

Even better, all of our movers are vetted by us and reviewed by our users , so you’ll get to make an informed choice on who you trust with your boat, whether it’s a sailing boat, a motor boat, a houseboat, an inflatable boat, or any other boat.

It's simple and quick to get boat transportation quotes on Wise Move platform — we guarantee you will get the most affordable prices.

Remove the need for hours of research, phoning, leaving messages and getting no replies.

Breaking news, new zealand lawyer ayla ronald’s chilling text to father revealed after surviving bayesian superyacht sinking.

One survivor of the doomed Bayesian , who is “very shaken” after escaping the superyacht’s sinking off the coast of Sicily, shared a disturbing revelation with her father.

Ayla Ronald, a senior associate at law firm Clifford Chance, was one of 22 aboard the British-flagged ship when a tornado struck the area where it was anchored around 5 a.m. Monday.

Ronald, 36, and her partner, Matthew Fletcher, were invited aboard the Bayesian to celebrate tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s acquittal in “one of Silicon Valley’s biggest-ever fraud cases” alongside his friends and family.

“Ayla is a lawyer who is part of the legal team that was invited to go sailing as a result of the success in the recent United States court case,” Ronald’s father, Lin Ronald, told the Telegraph.

“I have texted my daughter and she hasn’t given me any updates about missing personnel or saved personnel,” he said.

“She has only said to me that there are deaths, and she and her partner are alive.”

Ayla Ronald’s phone was the only one with a battery and she was helping coordinate with the first responders, according to the New Zealand Herald.

Lin told the outlet that his daughter is “very shaken” following the incident.

The Christchurch, NZ, native studied at the University of Otago in New Zealand before moving to London, where she worked for several years.

”We are in shock and deeply saddened by this tragic incident,” Clifford Chance said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with our Partner, Christopher Morvillo, and his wife Neda who are among the missing, and with their families.”

“Our utmost priority is providing support to the family as well as our colleague Ayla Ronald, who together with her partner, thankfully survived the incident,” the statement continued. “Our thoughts extend to the other passengers and crew and all those affected.”

What to know after a tornado sank the yacht Bayesian off the coast of Sicily:

• A superyacht capsized off the coast of Sicily after a tornado hit the area early Monday, killing seven passengers.
• British tech tycoon Mike Lynch was identified as one of the bodies pulled from the wreckage. His teenage daughter, Hannah, was the final one to be recovered.
• Lynch — known as “Britain’s Bill Gates” — had invited guests from Clifford Chance, a legal firm that represented him, and Invoke Capital, his own company, on the voyage,  according to the Telegraph . 
• Security camera footage shot from 650 feet from where the  Bayesian sank Monday  shows it disappearing.
• A rare and unexpected “black swan” weather event may have led to the  Bayesian’s speedy demise , maritime experts say.

Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, Jonathan Bloomer, a chairman at Morgan Stanley International, and his wife, Judy, are among the six still missing.

Angela Bacares, the owner of the yacht and Lynch’s wife, was among 15 people rescued.

One body, believed to be the ship’s chef, Canadian-born Thomas Recaldo, was recovered from the wreck.

Lynch’s three-month trial played out in San Francisco federal court and centered on allegations that Lynch schemed to inflate his software company Autonomy’s revenue when he sold it to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.

Within a year, the US tech company was forced to down-value Autonomy’s worth by $8.8 billion.

A jury found Lynch, 59, not guilty on all 15 conspiracy and wire fraud charges on June 6.
