Freight Pricing
FREIGHT & LOGISTICS
Geelong to your shed. Anywhere in Australia.
We deliver Sykes boats Australia-wide on our own trailers, with prices based on boat class and destination zone. Boats are shipped at the agreed price based on filling the minimum commercially viable load — meaning shared trailer space, lower per-boat costs, and timing tied to a full trailer departure.
Indicative pricing only. The rates below are guidelines based on a full trailer and reflect transport and insurance costs for the full value of trailer and goods aboard. Final freight is confirmed in your quote and is subject to change until your quote is confirmed.
Freight Zones
We deliver to five zones across Australia. Where you are determines the rate.
| Zone | Coverage |
|---|---|
| VIC Metro | Within ~60 minutes of Melbourne CBD |
| VIC Regional | All other Victoria locations |
| SA / ACT / NSW | South Australia, Canberra, New South Wales |
| Northern NSW / QLD | Northern NSW and Queensland |
| Central-Nth QLD / TAS / WA | Central & North Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia |
Indicative Rates by Boat Class
All prices include GST. Larger boats take more trailer space, so eights cost more than singles. The unit multiplier shows roughly how much trailer space each class takes (Quad/Four = 1 unit base).
| Boat Class | Trailer Units | VIC Metro | VIC Regional | SA / ACT / NSW | Nth NSW / QLD | Central-Nth QLD / TAS / WA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singles | 0.5 | $65 | $110 | $265 | $330 | $525 |
| Pairs / Doubles | 0.75 | $97.50 | $165 | $397.50 | $495 | $787.50 |
| Fours / Quads | 1.0 | $130 | $220 | $530 | $660 | $1,050 |

| Skis | 0.75 | $97.50 | $165 | $397.50 | $495 | $787.50 |
All prices are GST inclusive. Rates updated March 2026 to reflect current diesel pricing (~$2.45–$2.81/L in VIC) and general freight market cost increases.
