Boat transport

[lanerboy]

Hi All
Does anyone have any idea what it would cost to transport a 33ft motor boat from Toulon in the south of France to pool in the UK
Thanks

£8-10k including lifts and preparation both ends. Google boat transport and you will get plenty of possible UK providers. Most have an on line quote service and you will get quotes by return. This will give you a start.

Welcome back. Haven't seen you on here for years.

Agree, top end of the price range for me.
North Spain to Lincoln a couple of years back for a 37ft S37.
I used Peters & May for the paperwork and as I was the original exporter no VAT due.
Put an Apple Tag on the boat. Always interesting to follow the route
ps re @MystereMarcus below, mine was on the back of a return trip

Email / contact Coast to Coast, they are super helpful. I neded to know the cost of transporting a boat in the UK prior to making an offer on the boat. Emailed them on a Sunday afternoon, got a rep,y with cost within a couple of hours. They have a lot of experience of transporting boats in Europe

Another recommendation for Coast2Coast from me. If you can time your delivery so it's a return trip for them (when they are taking boats to France e.g. for a boat show), there's a great saving to be made.

Thank you sold my last boat 9 years ago but thinking about another now the kids have gone their own way in life so just the two of us, now retired only 56 so looking to enjoy myself a bit

Ignore this post everyone I didn't realise the vat had changed since Brexit so that has crushed the deal, oh well you live and learn

We have just got back into boating after a 5 year hiatus. We are moored at Haslar.
