3D Marine, established in 1987, specialises in transport and lifting of all water craft. Since then we’ve built a reputation for transporting classic and vintage boats of all types.
Slipper Launches, Day Launches, open launches, counter and beaver stern launches, umpire launches, patrol launches and steam launches, yachts and dinghies; hire boats and sinking boats; ancient and modern; punts, skiffs, steam and sail; we’ve moved them all. Have a look at our gallery and our web-links.
Based in the Thames Valley, we are ideally positioned, with our fleet of custom built trailers and vehicles, to move your most precious craft. Our experienced staff can advise you on loading/unloading techniques and launch and recovery locations. Our lifting equipment can be utilised in confined spaces and where craning is not available.
We are delighted to deliver to boat shows including Beale Park and the Thames Traditional Boat Rally. We are very proud of being the preferred supplier to Henwood and Dean boat builders at Hambleden, transporting nearly all the boats they store and maintain.
Recently we have moved several small launches and skiffs by road to Lechlade so their owners can explore the river from its highest point of navigation without making a round trip. We are able to offer transport for passengers and their luggage as well as providing advice on overnight accommodation. Perhaps we could meet you at the other end as well?
Trips to European destinations, for collection, delivery or exhibition fill our portfolio. We attended the Dunkirk Little Ships reunion in May 2005, returning what is thought to be the smallest remaining “Dunkirker”, to join her bigger sisters.
Prices for all haulage are based on craft size and mileage. Trade rates are available. Please contact us for a no obligation quotation or advice.
