Hi Guys, I am looking at UK builders (for cost and quality) for a widebeam to transport into Ireland. We don't have many canal boat builders here in Ireland so I looked further afield... So will I pay tax on import or if the tax is paid in the UK are there no additional import costs? In the meantime I have emailed revenue/customs to check to see what they have to say, but thought I would double check here if anyone has experience there. Also does anyone know if UK 'zero-rated' boats could apply in my case?

We have been in Ireland with our tug-style, electric narrowboat, Ampère, for 6 months and, despite repeated assurances from well-meaning locals that we would surely sink if we were to venture onto whichever came next of Loughs, Allen, Erne, Ree and Derg, have cruised them all safely by dint of the simple expedient of waiting for calm weather. The Irish waterways are attractive, varied and mostly easy to cruise, and the Irish, their boaters in particular, are most welcoming. We have had a fabulous time and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is considering going. Without for a moment pretending that we know even most of what there is to know, we can also offer some advice to anyone in that position, our principal recommendation being to allow two years, split north and south, rather than the one that we did. However, all good things must come to an end and, although we will be here for another few months yet, we are starting to plan our return to the UK next Spring. If possible, we would be like to reduce costs by sharing transport and/or craning with anyone who wants to bring out a boat from England - or simply crane one in or out in Ireland. We will need to crane out from the Grand Canal, probably but not essentially, at Sallins and need to be back in the UK by the end of the first week of April but are quite flexible about our earliest date. If anyone reading this is interested in sharing, or merely wants to chat about the Irish waterways, please get in touch.
