For several decades, Van Egdom has been a trusted name in exceptional road transport, especially for moving boats throughout Belgium and across Europe. As a part of the Capelle Group, we benefit from the support of brands like Capelle Yachting and Augizeau Transports. With a dedicated fleet and experienced team, we ensure safe and compliant transport of all types of vessels and marine equipment.
Tailored Expertise in Boat Transport
Transporting a boat by road requires specific technical skills. Whether it’s a motorboat, a sailboat, a RIB, a catamaran, or a yacht, we adapt our resources to each vessel:
- Dimensional study (length, width, total height, weight)
- Route analysis
- Selection of the right trailer and truck (extra-low, extendable, steerable, with or without well, equipped with cradles, etc.)
- Safe securing using custom equipment (hull support, strapping, shock absorption)
Our specialized drivers manage each step carefully, from pickup to delivery at the quay, marina, or shipyard.
Sailboat and Motorboat Transport
Van Egdom handles the transport of sailboats (with or without masts) and motorboats of all sizes—whether bare hull or fully equipped.
We use custom trailers designed for fragile hulls, with adjustable cradles and shock-absorbing structures to reduce stress and vibration. Masts can be transported separately or mounted alongside the boat.
For oversized boats (>over 2.55 m wide), we handle exceptional transport permits, technical escorts if needed, and provide compliant securing plans.
Boat Transport for Private and Professional Clients
We serve both individuals and professionals in the marine industry:
- Delivery to or from shipyards, marinas, homes, nautical bases, or exhibitions
- Transport for launching, wintering, or servicing
- Transfer of newly purchased or second-hand boats
- Movement of racing or demo boats
We tailor logistics to your needs, with regular departures and group transport options to reduce costs.
Transport of Marine Equipment
We also handle the transport of marine and related equipment:
- Floating docks, gangways, masts, deck fittings
- Jet skis, tenders, RIBs
- Technical crates, engines, sails, etc.
Items are transported using flatbeds, tarped trailers, or grouped with a primary boat depending on size and fragility.
How Much Does Boat Transport Cost?
The cost of transporting a boat depends on several factors:
- Dimensions (length, width, height, weight)
- Type of vessel (sailboat, motorboat, bare hull, etc.)
- Distance to cover
- Need for exceptional convoy (pilot car, escorts)
- Accessibility of pickup/drop-off site (crane, launch equipment)
We conduct a tailored study and provide an accurate quote within 24–48 hours. We optimize routing and offer grouped transport options where possible.
Costs range from €1.5 to €10+ per km depending on these factors.
How to Transport Your Boat by Road?
Road transport of a boat must follow strict regulations:
- Accurately measure your boat (including appendages)
- Prepare the vessel: remove loose items, protect sensitive areas
- Choose an experienced transporter with suitable equipment
- Anticipate permits (declarations, exceptional transport authorizations, escort)
- Plan lifting or launching operations if required
Van Egdom supports the full logistics chain: technical planning, permits, secure loading, road transport, and final delivery.
