About Us
. We are a small family business with bases near Bath and Poole which specializes in the transport of Boats, Caravans and Horses throughout the United Kingdom and Europe (Horses the south of England only)
We run 4 x 4s that have been fitted with air assisted rear suspension, electric and air trailer braking systems and 5th wheel couplings, matched to our boat and flat bed trailers allow us to be able to transport boats of most hull configurations from planing hulls to deep fin keels and many variations in between, with a length of up to 30 ft and 3 tonnes.in weight.
Our 4 x 4s are dedicated towing vehicles, making them an ideal tug for most UK and European manufactured touring caravans. They are also equipped to tow the american style 5th wheel caravans that are either manufactured in the UK or modified to comply with European legislation up to a weight of 4.3 tonnes. For caravans and trailers that aren't suitable to tow we have a 7 metre 5th wheel trailer equipped with a 5 tonne winch on which to transport them.
Horses are transported in our unique Canadian style 5th wheel horse trailer, which gives the low easy loading of a trailer with the comfort and stability of a lorry with the horses travelling in the herringbone style and constantly monitored with cctv.

Who We Are |
The family business is headed up by William who grew up in farming, after leaving agricultural college he returned to work in the industry, but with his wife Margaret soon diversified into plant hire and haulage.
Why Boat and caravan Transport? From the love of the sea, sailing became a passionate distraction from the day to day pressures of running a business. with available weekends sailing the Dorset coast out of Poole and up into the Solent. Many family holidays have been enjoyed exploring the lovely ports and coasts of Normandy, Brittany and the Channel Islands..Having taken an active roll in his sailing club for many years William is extremely proud to have served a 3 year term as Commodore of the East Dorset Sailing Club (The oldest club in Poole Harbour) until 2014. When the weather wasn't favourable for sailing, caravanning has been the other passion, and after getting to know most of the Brittany ports with the boat, the desire to explore further into France and Europe has been fulfilled using our caravan. Through hauling his own boats and caravans, and many for his friends, and then for friends of friends, it has evolved into a business which sees us Transporting them throughout the UK and Ireland as well as across Europe. Our other interest is Horses, our son Alex who along with his wife Tracy run a very successful Livery Yard "Ten Acres Livery" on the outskirts of Poole at Lychett Matravers |
