What a fantastic transportation company. We used them for transport to our rehearsal dinner, our wedding, and then again for a wine tour the day after. The drivers were on time, courteous, and the busses were clean. Travis worked with my for several changes both in the booking, and at the last minute. I met Asa the evening before our wedding when he came up to me and a group of friends at the bar to remind us that there were free sober rides home all we had to do was call. A company that goes out of its way to provide such a safe and conscientious service deserves my business and yours.

Wow! My friends and I were waiting for another Wedding bus service to pick us form a hotel and they didn't show, the driver of Road Yachts offered to take our whole crew to the wedding so we wouldn't miss it! It was so kind! Seemed like a great guy with excellent customer service. Will definitely be booking through Road Yachts next time we need a bus/limo service in the area! Thank you!

I highly recommend this company to anyone that is looking for great transportation and affordable pricing for a wedding. I signed a contract in October 2016 for transportation for my daughter's wedding in October 2017. The person I dealt with was very hard to get a hold of and after numerous phone calls and emails we finally signed a contract. In May 2017 I called the company to verify everything, and I was told that Amy no longer work there! I was assured by Kathy that everything still be honored. Over the next few months I worked with Kathy, Dawn and Asa, the owner. The final contract came out a few days prior to the wedding, and let me tell you everything was perfect. I can't thank you for the professional matter in which you handled everything.

The infamous "drunk bus" providing free (be sure to tip!) rides to various bars (like Spanky's in Leesburg) and your home. Truly a wonderful service. In all seriousness, they do have a wide selection of vehicles and some of the best drivers around. We've hired them several times and everyone has been very knowledgeable about the areas, friendly, and have honestly helped improve our experience, rather than just sitting there and driving us from one place to another. Rates are EXTREMELY competitive. If you're looking for a service to get a group (or groups) around the area, I'd recommend them!

Travis is so great to work with. I had a contract with them for my wedding and couldn't have asked for better customer service and pricing! Travis was responsive and accommodating when I had to majorly downsize my bus needs after figuring out that a lot of my guests were using other modes of transport. I highly recommend using them for any event!

Best experience EVER! Travis was the most chivalrous navigation buddy. We had such an amazing time. None of which would have been made possible w/o the help of Road Yahts!!!! They made my bridal shower unforgettable! Such fluid transition from one place to another. Not to mention, the patience granted to us (some gals take longer to change clothes than others ) was extremely well received! If you need to get around safely and plan on the most fun day EVER, I'd suggest giving these guys a call.

I was thrilled last year when I needed transportation for about 8 people to and from a concert. Asa at Road Yachts helped us out. Great Service, good price. What more could you ask for? Oh by the way, he also provides the free shuttle from many of the Leesburg bars. I didn't know that, but learned it that night. It's always nice when your son boards and says, "Asa! Hey Buddy" and then turns to you and says, "You hired the drunk bus!". By the way - they do have limos, but we booked quite last minute and the only thing he had to accomodate our group was a passenger van. We were going to a concert not a fancy event, so it was perfect.

I booked with this company for my wedding through the hotel I had a block on for my wedding guests. The manager at the time, Amy, was a TERRIBLE communicator. I called everyday for 3 weeks before I got any sort of answer, when I finally did get an answer my wedding was 2 weeks away. We booked a bus for 65 people and verbally a limo for my husband and I. The limo never showed and the bus driver charged us for leaving 15 minutes late. They also charged a clean up fee for a few streamers my bridesmaids put on the bus. Not to mention the driver was SO rude. Btw the 65 passenger bus was a SCHOOL BUS. I repeat, a school bus. That is definitely something the company should have told us. I do not recommend this company. This was the only vendor I was unpleased with.

Hi Kelsey, Amy is long gone and we have made many changes to the way we do business. I apologize for the experience you had with Amy and the driver. We do have several school bus style buses. We offer them to people who can not afford standard pricey transportation options. Everyone regardless of financial status deserves to have transportation to and from there wedding if they want it, and this is a way we accommodate that. We have many other non-school bus style buses in our fleet. Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate it. Thanks, Travis

We used Road Yachts for transportation to and from our wedding. The pricing for them is great if you're having an event in the Leesburg area since they are local and you can pay for two one-way trips to and from your event. Our main point of contact was easy to communicate with and also helped us reduce costs since we had a lower rider count than we initially thought. For the day of the event, the drivers showed up on time and our guests that used their buses were happy with the experience. The only criticism we have is that we needed buses to pick up from two different locations and Road Yachts was not clear in how they would handle this situation until all of the details of the pickup count from each location was finalized. This resulted in a back and forth of contract review up to the day of the event and one of the pickup locations being incorrect. Fortunately, this was not a massive issue as we just had the bus move to the correct location across the same parking lot. Despite this, we would still be fine with hiring Road Yachts again in the future.

One star based on the entire interaction I had with Road Yachts, not by the experience of their driving/day-of service as we never reached that point in our business relationship. We were recommended Road Yacts by our wedding coordinator and reached out to them in March via email and the request for info form on their website and...never heard from them. In June, we reached out again through the same means and after two weeks of getting no responses, called. The woman we spoke to informed us to email a specific woman within the business and ask for prices from her. We did just that and once more did not hear from them. After a week, my bridesmaid and myself both called Road Yachts at different times. My bridesmaid ended up speaking to a brutish man who informed her that he "had five weddings today alone and shouldn't be answering the phones." She explained that we were having trouble getting information and he told us to email them, she pointed out that's the problem as no one is answering emails, and he said to keep trying. I, on the other hand, finally got through to a woman who said they were working through the list of requests for October and would get to me shortly (my request was for November 5). She said I'd hear from them in a week. Skip forward a month and a half later in the last weeks of August, we had given up entirely with Road Yachts and went with a different bus company. So imagine our surprise when we received an email from Road Yachts with a price range for the request we sent in June. We informed our wedding coordinator that her suggestion was off the mark and she admitted that she herself had awful communication with Road Yachts in recent months after a management turn over and she was no longer recommending them.

Beverley Transport Services – professional & specialist boat transport for over 30 years.

We’ve moved all kinds of boats from all kinds of locations to destinations throughout the Uk.

Our custom built vehicles, with air suspended trailers provide a safe and secure platform for the road transportation of yachts, motor cruisers, fishing and workboats.

We liaise with marinas & boatyards to plan collection & delivery. Where necessary, we deal with police and traffic agencies to facilitate the safe movement of abnormal loads.

We frequently  go beyond the normal procedures of boat transport, having collected boats from fields, backyards, industrial estates, gardens and even from remote Scottish islands!

We regard our customers as friends and receive a lot of  repeat business.

Transporting a Boat by Road: Getting Started

Following a customer’s initial enquiry, we begin the meticulous planning  process that ensures a trouble free move for the boat, the owner and ourselves.

Initially a verbal contact will be made to establish a maximum and minimum price range for the move. This has to take into account the probable time and  distance involved, the boat dimensions, any special escort requirements, and of course the potential to be matched with other traffic etc.

With those parameters established, we then set about planning the safest, most economical and efficient movement procedures for the boat.

At any one time we may have up to fifty “live” enquiries. And although they will not all be delivered by us [unfortunately], they provide a matrix or draft timetable, allowing  journeys to be linked and expensive “empty running” eliminated or at least reduced to a minimum.

The objective is to fit all the various factors into a working combination – creating an opportunity for everyone to benefit from a cost effective, safe and efficient boat move

Each week, plans are carefully drawn up for the following week, enabling bookings to be made with all parties. (With some busy boatyards bookings may have to be made much sooner)

Police will be notified of “Abnormal Load Movements” where appropriate, escort vehicles booked if required and boatyards and marinas advised of arrival times.

Making your boat safe for transport by road

• All ornaments and unsecured items inside the boat should be placed on the floor or beds and covered with cushions. (The boat will get a comfortable ride on our air suspended trailers but delicate items should be protected or removed)
• Gas bottles and batteries should be turned off and isolated.
• Hazardous materials must be removed
• Radar arches, radio aerials and lighting gantries should be lowered or removed.
• Splash screens should be removed or protected unless they are very strong and permanently fixed.
• In almost all circumstances canopies should be removed. Many owners baulk at this but, apart from the obvious damage implications, torn or loose canvas could become detached and blow onto a following motor-cyclist.
• Yacht masts should be placed on top of the boat wherever possible, carefully wrapped and insulated from vibration and chafing.
• Ropes and fenders should be stowed safely.
• These tasks should normally be carried out by the owner and / or boatyard staff but our drivers and attendants will help with safe stowage.
• Any keys or paperwork requirements should be agreed in advance.

Boatyards and Marinas with cranes or hoists will have a crew of qualified operatives to load the boat onto our trailer.

We work together to ensure that the craft is safely placed on the vehicle, the keel lowered onto padded blocks on the the chassis, and the hull supported with adjustable padded arms. Ensuring that  the boat is safely “cradled” for transport by road.

The boat is then inspected for damage and if the owner is absent, pointed out to the loading team. The owner may be called and the damage photographed.

The travelling height of the load is carefully measured, ensuring that the vehicle will pass safely along the selected route (We can check the height against known bridge limits and ensure that the chosen route is safe.

More risky is the potential damage caused by low branches of trees especially after periods of rain. Hence our insistence on the removal of canopies and other vulnerable items.

Having stowed any ropes and fenders safely within the boat, the load is then strapped to the trailer.

Company History

1988 After several years of diversification and growth the business was incorporated as a Limited Company.

1989 Boat transportation started more or less as a sideline using a borrowed trailer. The main activity of the business was refrigerated transport. Boat transport developed alongside the growth of Hull Marina which became home for the vehicles from around 1995.

1990 Our first boat trailer is commissioned – converted from a car transporter! Boat transport developed separately from the other activities until it became a significant part of the business. (Doug  kept the work to himself as it was a way of getting to nice places meeting nice people and generally getting paid for the privilege!) But good though the work was, it didn’t seem enough to “stand alone” and cease the other activities of the company. Looking back, how wrong we were! 1994 Neil, who had been working  for BTS since 1987, is invited to take on the movement of boats, and takes to it like a duck to water! The company is now established as a professional boat haulier which justifies the purchase of another trailer. A Special Types  custom built boat trailer is refurbished and converted to air suspension. The old axles from this trailer are used to upgrade our original trailer.

The late nineties see a growth of boat movements and by 2000 the other activities  are phased out. We now serve a wide spectrum of customers ranging from private boat owners to  boat builders, fishermen, brokers, marinas and boatyards.

2003 Trailer 3 is built and we now have two road going trailers and a spare. Contacts are built up with the fishing community through our friends at the excellent website FindAFishingBoat.com

2008 New blood and a new perspective. Paul joins the business. Doug reverts to the office and sets out to develop the business more efficiently. Recent years have seen the increasing involvement of the wider family

2009 Responding to improved work levels, the ‘bargain basement’ Renault is replaced by ‘Dafney’ a newer unit for Paul. Alex, Paul’s son travels as ‘second man’ when free from studies at school and gets involved with IT systems helping to keep the business up to date.

2012 Paul gets his head into books and gains the Transport Managers Certificate of Professional Competence. This helps to keep the business up to date with ‘compliance’, maintenance and operational issues. Meanwhile Sue (Pauls wife) brings computing skills to the business and takes over the accounting role.

2013 The long hard winter of 2012-2013 was both climatically and economically hard to endure. Nevertheless, we have continued to invest. Trailer 4, commissioned after a long, frustrating search is now starting to earn it’s keep. With all this support from the family, Doug at last finds time to complete the long-promised book. ‘Keels on Wheels’ should become a manual for boat owners and movers! 2014 With more Police forces requiring an Escort service to accompany the movement of larger vessels we have now commissioned our own Escort vehicle with professional and experienced drivers. 2014 also saw us replace the DAF Tractor Unit. After giving BTS over 1,200,000 kms of reliable service the DAF was replaced by a newer environmentally friendly vehicle, a Scania R440 with a LEZ Compliant Euro 5 engine.

2020 A tough year with the Covid pandemic. 3 months “locked down” & unable to transport boats because of the boatyards & marinas being closed. We survived, & work picked up quickly in the summer. A newer replacement lorry was purchased because of the busy work load & looming “clean air” zone regulations in towns & cities across the UK. A Euro 6 Mercedes Actros was purchased, painted & put straight to work. Social media proving to be a useful tool within our business, regularly posting updates of “what we are up to” on Facebook & Instagram, encouraging a good amount of work.

2022 In January we had our extendable boat trailer in to Britcom International for a full refurbishment. Stripped bare, shot blasted and painted. Wiring & pipes replaced. The trailer is now as good as a new one, with some extra modifications made too. Another busy year with many new customers getting into boating & many existing customers upgrading their boats.

By way of background, my business interests include controlling stakes in 3 publicly traded companies which operate vessels in the 500 to 5000dwt range. On average, one new vessel a year would be added to the fleet. As a result, I have access to in-house marine architects, engineers and construction supervisors. Consequently, when I decided to build my first large motor yacht, I did not feel I needed the services of a company like Moran Yacht & Ship. In any event, I was persuaded to let them negotiate on my behalf while I simultaneously held discussions with other building options. Moran Yacht & Ship understands yachts, their incredibly complex systems, and what constitutes a practical solution to various owners’ ideas. In short, I would not consider building another yacht without engaging Moran Yacht & Ship to provide the services they are so good in delivering. Former Owner, NORTHERN STAR

Russian propagandists now claim their target in Kharkiv was not a residential building but a police hospital. Their open admission of calls for war crimes is truly outrageous. Watch this and imagine it’s your Saturday afternoon pic.twitter.com/tP2BLSUoT8 — Maria Avdeeva (@maria_avdv) June 22, 2024

Well, what can ya do? You can’t hide in your basement 24/7.

16 superyachts owned by Russian oligarchs

Western sanctions over moscow's invasion of ukraine led to many luxury vessels being detained in europe.

Several luxury yachts owned by wealthy Russians have been detained across Europe this month.

It comes after the West imposed sanctions on oligarchs over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine .

Some have taken evasive action – two such superyachts linked to billionaire Roman Abramovich were spotted approaching the Turkish coast on Tuesday. A group of Ukrainians tried to stop one of the yachts from docking in Turkey.

Chelsea FC owner Mr Abramovich is one of several oligarchs who were added to an EU blacklist last week as governments acted to seize yachts and other luxury assets owned by the billionaires.

Western sanctions resulted in many large vessels relocating from Europe in the past few weeks. Several have headed to places such as the Maldives, which have no extradition treaty with the US.

Where is the Abramovich-owned yacht heading?

Mr Abramovich's yacht Eclipse was seen heading towards Marmaris on Tuesday, according to data compiled by monitoring site Marine Traffic, which was seen by Reuters.

The previous day, his superyacht Solaris was moored in Bodrum, about 80 kilometres from Marmaris, data showed, after skirting waters of EU countries.

There was no suggestion Mr Abramovich was on board either of the yachts.

Which yachts have been detained?

On Monday, a superyacht linked to another Russian billionaire was detained by authorities after docking in Gibraltar.

The Axioma , believed to belong to Dmitrievich Pumpyansky, moored at Gibraltar on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Reuters TV footage showed.

Mr Pumpyansky, who is under UK and EU sanctions, owns Russia's largest steel pipe maker TMK. Data shows the 72-metre vessel is owned by a British Virgin Islands holding company called Pyrene investments, Reuters reported. An article published as part of the Panama Papers leaks names Mr Pumpyansky as a beneficiary of the holding.

On March 12, the world's biggest sailing yacht, called Sailing Yacht A and owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko , was seized by Italian police.

Several other luxury yachts have also been detained across Europe, including in Gibraltar, Mallorca in Spain's Balearic Islands and the French coast.

Here are 16 superyachts linked to wealthy Russians

1. Eclipse , a superyacht linked to sanctioned Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich , was this week spotted heading in the direction of Marmaris in Turkey.

2. Solaris , belonging to Mr Abramovich , moored in Bodrum at the start of the week.

3. The Axioma superyacht, belonging to Russian oligarch Dmitrievich Pumpyansky , who is on the EU's list of sanctioned Russians, was detained by authorities after docking in Gibraltar on Monday.

4. The Crescent , which was seized by the Spanish government in Tarragona, Spain, on March 17. The ship's owner is not publicly known, although it is believed to belong to Russian Igor Sechin, head of Rosneft Oil in Moscow.

5. Ragnar , owned by former KGB officer and Russian oligarch Vladimir Strzhalkovsky, who is not on the EU sanctions list.

6. Tango , owned by Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, who was sanctioned by the US on March 11.

7. Lady Anastasia , owned by Russian arms manufacturer Alexander Mijeev, is retained at Port Adriano, Mallorca, as a result of sanctions against Russia and Belarus issued by the European Union.

8. Valerie was seized by the Spanish government in Barcelona, Spain, on March 15. Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that the ship is linked to Rostec State Corporation’s chief executive Sergey Chemezov.

9. The $578 million Sailing Yacht A owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko was seized by Italian police in the port of Trieste on March 12.

10. The 156-metre Dilbar superyacht is owned by Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov.

11. La Datcha belongs to Russian billionaire businessman Oleg Tinkov.

12. Lady M , owned by Russian oligarch Alexei Mordashov, was seized by Italian police on March 5.

13. Amore Vero was seized in the Mediterranean resort of La Ciotat on March 3 by French authorities. The yacht is linked to Igor Sechin, a Putin ally who runs the Russian oil giant Rosneft.

14. Quantum Blue , owned by a company linked to Russian billionaire Sergei Galitsky, the head of Russian oil giant Rosneft, was seized in southern France on March 3.

15. Superyacht Luna is owned by Russian billionaire Farkhad Akhmedov.

16. Triple Seven is owned by Russian billionaire Alexander Abramov, according to media reports. The yacht was last up for sale in 2020 for €38 million ($41.85 million).

Travis Scott Arrested for Disorderly Intoxication, Trespassing in Miami

Rapper Travis Scott was arrested and booked into Miami-Dade County jail early Thursday morning following an incident on a yacht at a local marina at 300 Alton Road, Miami Beach.

Houston-born Scott, also known as Jacques Bermon Webster, was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing, according to an arrest affidavit from the Miami Beach Police Department obtained by The Hollywood Reporter , which confirmed the 1:44 a.m. arrest.

"On scene could sense a strong smell of alcohol coming from the defendant's breath. Officers spoke to the complainant who stated that he did not want to press charges and just wanted the defendant off of the vessel," the affidavit stated.

After a warning to leave the dock, Scott allegedly "yelled obscenities" while walking backwards from the yacht, and eventually got into his car to drive away, according to the police report.

But the affidavit adds "the defendant returned approximately 5 minutes after Officer Rodriguez observed the defendant walking back towards the vessel." After Scott allegedly "began yelling once again, becoming erratic, disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings," he was taken into custody.

"The defendant later admitted that he had been drinking alcohol and stated ‘It's Miami,'" the affidavit stated. Scott was booked into jail at 4:35 a.m. and was later released on a $650 bond.

Scott made headlines in 2021 with the Astroworld concert tragedy  that resulted in the deaths of 10 attendees and many more injuries.

A predawn operation has rescued 77 migrants from a crippled yacht off Greece’s Aegean Sea islands

A group of 77 migrants were rescued off a crippled sailing yacht after a large overnight operation in the southern Aegean Sea, Greek authorities said Monday.

Nobody was reported missing or injured following the rescue between the islands of Amorgos and Astypalaia, Greece’s coast guard said.

Three coast guard vessels, four merchant ships in the area and two smaller private boats took part in the rescue after passengers on the yacht phoned emergency services for assistance.

The nationalities of the migrants were not immediately known. All were taken to Naxos in the Cyclades island group, where they were given temporary shelter.

It was unclear where the migrants had departed from. They were rescued on a route typically used by smuggling gangs to ferry migrants from Turkey to Italy, avoiding tightly patrolled waters around Greece’s eastern Aegean islands.

Such trips are more common in the summer when the weather is milder and when the smugglers’ yachts are likelier to pass by undetected amid the large numbers of yachts chartered by tourists visiting popular Greek islands.

Greece is a key entry point for thousands of people from the Middle East, Africa and Asia seeking a better life in the affluent European Union.
