European Boat Transport

At South West Boat Transport, we take immense pride in being your go-to specialists for European Boat Transport. Established in 2005, our journey began with a commitment to offer professional yacht and boat transport services not just within the UK but extending across Europe, including France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and beyond. Our ethos is simple: to make the process of transporting your boat as seamless and straightforward as possible, ensuring your vessel is treated with the utmost care it deserves.

Being boat owners ourselves, we understand the value and emotional attachment you have to your vessel. This insight drives our dedication to ensuring the safest possible journey for your boat, whether that be across the UK or through the intricate waterways and roads of Europe. Our experience in boat haulage across virtually every European country equips us with the knowledge to handle all necessary paperwork, permissions, and logistical arrangements required for wide load boat transport. Moreover, navigating the complexities of customs clearance when moving boats in and out of the EU is part of our comprehensive service, aimed at making your experience hassle-free.

Our modern fleet of vehicles and experienced drivers are at the heart of our European Boat Transport service. We operate a range of Mercedes tractor units coupled with air suspension boat trailers, ensuring your boat enjoys a cushioned ride irrespective of its destination within Europe. Our trailers are designed to accommodate motor boats and sailing yachts up to 50ft in length, equipped with adjustable supports to ensure a secure fit for your vessel. For more challenging access points, particularly in the picturesque regions of Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, and Hampshire, our smaller rigs are invaluable. Meanwhile, our larger low loader trailers are perfect for transporting flybridge motor cruisers and deep keel yachts.

Understanding the unique needs of each boat transport, we offer abnormal load escort services across the UK, ensuring safe passage for wide loads. This is part of our commitment to not only comply with transport regulations but to ensure the safety and integrity of your boat throughout its journey.

Our services are designed to be competitive and accessible to both trade customers and private individuals. We’ve built strong relationships within the industry, regularly working with boat builders, marinas, and yacht brokers. It’s a point of pride for us to be trusted with the transport of new boats from European factories, as well as facilitating the participation of vessels in prestigious events like the Southampton boat show.

In addition to boats, we transport a wide array of marine and non-marine items, demonstrating our versatility and capacity to meet your transport needs, whatever they may be. As members of the Road Haulage Association (RHA), we stay abreast of industry-specific legislation, ensuring our services are not only compliant but leading in terms of quality and safety.
