I’m pleased with the transport work arranged by Greg at All Boat Movers. I expected the extra costs of having the boat delivered to a marina on the coast with a travel lift , then switching the boat to a local mover with a hydraulic trailer. Instead, Greg arranged for a hydraulic trailer the whole way and delivery to my door, saving me money. I could not be there for the pickup of my 27 ft. heavy cruiser sailboat in Virginia. The driver Travis worked with me to schedule the loading before the only lift operator at the marina went on a two week vacation. Two extra weeks would have put us into winter here in western Maine.
When there was a hold up on the way, Travis emailed me at two in the morning (thanks for not calling) to let me know his revised estimated arrival time. He called at a reasonable hour that morning to confirm, then showed up on time in my rural area, and delivered the boat right to where I wanted it. Although it was already raining at the start of a big nor’easter he worked with me to unload the boat – onto a new ground tarp- and set it up on stands. Make sure you have lots of cribbing (blocking) to put under the keel and pads for under the stands. I had lots, and a chainsaw and extra material to cut whatever we needed. I was very pleased with the trouble he took (in the pouring rain) to make sure the boat was properly set up, as it will sit there through a big Maine winter and half of the next summer.
I recommend All Boat Movers for anyone needing to transport their boat any distance – why take a chance on a less professional outfit?
