Boat Transport Services

At South West Boat Transport, we specialize in providing top-tier boat transport services, meticulously designed to meet the needs of boat owners across the UK and throughout Europe. Since our inception in 2005, we have dedicated ourselves to delivering an unparalleled level of service in the transportation of yachts and boats, making us a preferred choice for clients seeking reliable and professional boat transport solutions.

Our approach to boat transport is anchored in our own experiences as boat owners. This personal connection to the boating community drives our commitment to handling each vessel with the utmost care, ensuring that every boat entrusted to us is transported safely to its destination. Our extensive experience covers a wide range of destinations, including key European countries like France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark, among others. We understand the intricacies involved in cross-border transport, from managing the necessary paperwork and permissions to coordinating with customs for seamless EU transitions.

The backbone of our boat transport services is our modern fleet of vehicles and our team of professional, friendly drivers. Skilled in the art of safely loading and transporting various types of motor cruisers and sailing yachts, our drivers ensure that your boat reaches its next port of call securely, whether that's within the UK or across the diverse landscapes of Europe. Our vehicles are equipped with air suspension boat trailers, providing a cushioned ride that caters to the specific needs of your boat, regardless of its size or type.

Our boat trailers are specially designed with adjustable supports to accommodate a wide range of boats, up to 50ft in length. This flexibility allows us to offer tailored solutions for both motor boats and sailing yachts, ensuring a perfect fit and secure transport. For locations that are particularly challenging to access, such as the narrow lanes of Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, and Hampshire, our small rig trailers are particularly valuable. Meanwhile, our larger low loader trailers are ideally suited for transporting larger vessels, including flybridge motor cruisers and deep keel yachts.

Understanding the complexity of transporting oversized loads, we provide a comprehensive abnormal load escort service across the UK. This service ensures that wide loads are transported safely and in compliance with all regulations, providing peace of mind for boat owners.

We take pride in offering competitive pricing for both trade customers and private individuals. Our aim is to build lasting relationships with our clients, evidenced by our regular engagements in transporting new boats from European manufacturers and facilitating the movement of boats to and from prestigious events like the Southampton boat show.

What sets South West Boat Transport apart is not just our competitive pricing, which includes comprehensive Goods In Transit insurance, but also our unwavering commitment to customer service. Our experienced team keeps you informed throughout the transport process, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience. Our trailers, equipped with the latest technology including ABS and electronic stability control, guarantee that your boat enjoys a safe and comfortable journey.

In addition to boat transport, we also handle the transportation of marine items and a variety of non-marine goods, showcasing our versatility and commitment to meeting the broader logistics needs of our clients. As members of the Road Haulage Association (RHA), we stay informed on the latest industry-specific legislation, ensuring our services remain at the forefront of quality and safety standards.
