Transportation

White Star have a selection of dedicated trailers and are able to put a boat in your driveway or boatyard anywhere the length and breadth of Ireland or to and from mainland UK. Mostly, towed trailers going to mainland UK are empty so there is always scope to bring a boat/caravan/vehicle or awkward load within the 2.5 tonne threshold across on the ferry.
Boats on trailers unaccompanied can be sent across as freight to the mainland UK ports covering Troon, Cairnryan, Stranraer, Heysham and Birkenhead. Delivery of White Star boats on trailers to the N.Ireland ports of departure are free.

If you decide to purchase a boat you may be pleasantly surprised how much it will cost to have it delivered for you. This saves your valuable time and ensures the boat is delivered to your door safely and at a time that suits you.

Generally for boats on trailers up to 3.5 tonnes/3500kg can be legally towed on braked trailers and on the White Star tri axle trailers motorboats, yachts both fin and bilge keel up to 2.5 tonnes/2500kg can be delivered. It is planned to have a 2.85 tonne/2850 kg fin keel yacht trailer soon.

Two tri axle low loader transporters are available to piggy-back boat and trailer combinations up to 2.5tonnes/2500kg and 1.5 tonnes/1500kg respectively.

Portable axles are available for boats on trailers that have suffered fractured axles or suspension units.

If you have the need to bring home a small boat or yacht/caravan/vehicle and the trailer is suspect, then don't put the safety of other road users at risk, call for advice, which is always free.
