ABOUT SOUTH WEST BOAT TRANSPORT
YOUR BOAT MOVING SPECIALISTS
Established in 2005, we are a small business dedicated to providing a professional boat transport service at a competitive price.
We are proud of the relationships developed with our customers over the years and have a good rapport with many brokers and boatyards up and down the country. We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and communication. We always aim to keep our customers regularly informed and up to date during the whole moving process.
We have transported boats throughout Europe and hold abnormal load permits for many European countries.
"We know, because we move our family boat between the UK and France, how stressful it can be having your pride and joy relocated.
Our team endeavour to make the process as smooth as possible, by negotiating scheduling with marinas and organising all aspects of the logistics, including ferries, permits and escorts if necessary.
Most importantly we ensure that you, the customer, are kept updated and that there are clear lines of communication between you, your driver and the team back in the office" Jeremy and Zoë
OUR PEOPLE
Jeremy Robinson – Managing Director and Driver
Jeremy has grown up with a love of boats and boating, with his father having purchased the sailing yacht "Brynhilde" in 1974. She is still owned by one of his brothers and Jeremy sails on her whenever he has the opportunity. The photos included show Jeremy with his brothers sailing her both as children and adults, together with Brynhilde loaded ready for transport to the south of France from the UK.
Throughout his teenage years and into his twenties, Jeremy raced sailing yachts in increasingly competitive series, culminating in one of only three UK boats competing in a semi-professional European race circuit. Jeremy has worked in and around the super-yacht industry and is acutely familiar with the uncompromising expectations of this industry.
Jeremy has been involved with yacht and motorboat delivery, both by sea and road, since his mid-twenties. Having worked for South West Boat Transport for a number of years, he has taken on the reins for moving boats over 2700kg with the knowledge and expertise required to take the business from strength to strength.
Jeremy and his team are dedicated to making the movement of your boat as stress free as can be.
Zoë Robinson - Company Secretary
Zoë grew up with trucking in her veins. Her father was an HGV driver for all of his working life and there was nothing she enjoyed more as a child, than going for trips with him in his truck across the country.
Having been (un)fortunate enough to meet Jeremy in 1996, Zoë had no choice but to grow to love yachting and long road trips, and although she has had a very successful career in the education sector, Zoë has chosen to come into the family business and take on the administrative role of company secretary, supporting Jeremy with ferry bookings, quoting, dealing with suppliers, vehicle and company compliance and the invoicing.
Zoë has a love of animals, has four cats, looks after Jeremy's dog and her family's rabbits and fish, when the sons' aren't around. She is also a life-long Ipswich Town fan (for her sins).
