Transport cost from Wales to South Spain

[ColleyV8]

Any rough prices for boat transport, sailing, from North Wales to Alicante in Spain?

Anyone done it recently, and when is best or earliest time for Biscay weather

You could try Halcyon Yachts for a quote and timing. The owner posts on here from time to time and they are top pros.

Around £7k plus lifts etc at either end. I would think. Easy to get quotes as several of the specialists do that sort of run regularly.

It cost me 18 days food and 60 lt fuel to get to Valencia so a couple of days less for you.

I've ended up motoring across Biscay more than sailing......when owners have been in a hurry.

I ended up drifting in the gulf of Cadiz for 24 hours as I didn't want to use diesel that I might need later. This was pre Orca so I'm not sure what I would do these days!

Goto rota. Buy diesel and a run ashore.

A route we know very well and we'd love to help.

Best to go after April 1st, and with yacht deliveries across Biscay many insurance companies insist on this.

Here's a video from an owner-assisted trip we did 8 years ago... Amazing trip - how time flies!

May is often a great time to leave. You often sea E or NE winds at that time of the year
