Useful Information
 
The East coast USA is generally the highest exporter of boats to the UK with many boat dealerships located in Jacksonville, Florida
A boat must be delivered into a Roll On Roll Off terminal on either a cradle or trailer.  Facilities are generally not present at a port to manufacture a cradle for shipping.  Boats delivered to port on a trailer are generally more cost effective to load, ship, and collect from UK port.  When collecting your boat on trailer from the UK port remember it is likely to be on an American tow hitch.
