We lucked out in choosing our sailboat mover in that Matt (MRL Transport)was absolutely fantastic. We secured our move deal in Feb but didn't move theboat until May. Matt maintained excellent communication with us, arrived on time, packed our boat expertly and then drove 1500 miles without incident to Maine. It was so refreshing to feel comfortable with our choice. Matt is an ambitious young man w ...

Uship was a great choice for us. Not only was the shipper thousands of dollars cheaper than the shippers we found through other sources, but the service was flawless from start to finish. We'd definitely use Uship again.

They moved a 28 foot sailboat that they picked up in Hilton Head Island, SC (I had just purchased the boat and was not there to pick it up) and the brought it to Northern Virginia. Excellent experience with the Uship site... i.e. when I needed to get the shipper messages, they were forwarded promptly. I saved at least $300.00. When I arrived, the driver who delivered it was waiting on me. He wa ...

I bought a sailboat in CO and shipped it to ND. I had 7 bids, picked the higher bid as they would bring it on a trailer rather than tow the boat. It worked out fine and the shipper was great to work with. I would use this service again. Jim

Hey, what do I know about shipping a 6 ton boat across the country??? As it turned out, I didn't need to know anything...just described what I needed to have done, posted it, and then picked a carrier who had great feedback (even a nearly identical load carried across the country in the last 3 months) and sat back to let the experts do their job. How else would I, in Michigan, find a hauler ex ...

Dave worked around all the issues that arose, communicated instantly and delivered the boat exactly at the specified time (to the minute). No problem paying in advance, I would require pre-payment myself if I were shipping items at such distances. Great guy to deal with - highly recommended.

I was skeptical of U-Ship at first but it really is a great service and can be used confidently

I purchased a small sailboat on the internet sight unseen in Melbourne Florida. My dilemma is that I live in Memphis and I have no vehicle or the time to haul the sailboat back to Memphis. I checked several trucking firms to haul the boat back home. No solutions were presented to me by the trucking firms nor were they interested in my small project. After googling the internet on shipping I di ...

I had been working on selling a Corsair trimaran to an exec at Xerox for over a year. He was ready to buy from the start but his company kept sending him around the world and his finance had her requirements as well. Why can't my customer's just have wives like mine who wants nothing to do with sailing? Finally I found the perfect boat which was in San Diego. The owner was about to leave the ...

Our Driver, Anthony of Tradewinds Transportation, did an excellent job. I would be happy to use his service again!

After retiring from the Navy I used my final move to relocate from NS to BC. We did not want to leave our 38' Hughes sailboat behind, but found regional shippers both too expensive and unable to accomodate our tight schedule. Referred to uShip by a friend, I found the site very easy to use and quickly received an excellent offer. Our shipper was House of Boats from Texas. We have shipped in the pa ...

MRL Transport provided excellent service at a good price, kept all promises and most importantly, kept me posted with updates and checking in when required. Thank you for a job well done! I will continue to use their services in the future. Sue A, Yacht Broker

This firm should be renamed "where promisses are kept". They exceeded my expectations on what a shipping firm is all about. Lee

I shipped a 30 ft. sailboat from Richmond, CA., to Corpus Christi, TX. Yacht details, Inc. was the shipper.The price was right, and they took good care of my boat. Steve Sites was a pleasure to do business with, and I heartily recommend him. Yes, I would use uShip again. The whole experience was stress free. John Carleton

We purchased a 25 foot boat that was in Chicago Illinois. We live in New Mexico so the first consideration, even when thinking about making the purchase, was how were we going to move this ark from Chicage to New Mexico in February. We looked at all the angles from buying a vehicle ourselves to renting a vehicle ourselves one way to using shipping it. On the web we found uShip. We posted our u ...

"You're probably going to have to wait a few weeks for your boat to come through," my father told me. "They closed the pass today." This on top of a three day delay after my shipper got stuck north of the I-5 closures around LA. I knew that shipping a 29' sailboat was no easy task. I'd already had to change my lift due to dredging. The seller of my boat told me that the boat barely made it to the ...

iwas trying to get my boat from hurrican marina in florida when i decided to see if i can get help with,but uship did help by putting my boat on the line ,for so many bids,and then at the right time i found one m@t transport who took the job ,i saved the money for the shipment for my boat but as good things happen so does bad the hurrican marina stoled things of my boat and then charged me $3,000 ...

Scott got my boat to me in fairly sever winter conditions as promised. He was willing to accept the job even though the condition of the used boat and trailer were unknown, and was willing to service the trailer if it needed it. He really didn't make much money on this delivery (if at all) because his delivery for the return trip canceled, but he did it anyway. I found him to be a man of his wo ...

The shipping company gave EXCELLENT service and good communication. The owner's truck arrived early for the pick up and delivered the boat early. He took extra care to make sure the load was secured properly for shipment and even fixed a trailor light for me. I highly recommend Wade.

my boat was delivered as promised, and the rate was very reasonable. I would use uship again at need.

This boat was shipped from New England to Louisiana. House of Boats provided information about the costs and all relevent parameters in moving this boat. They started updates of their truck location a week out of picking our boat up. Consistently giving me updates via phone and email on the date the truck would pick up and deliver our boat. House of boats was: accurate, responsive and precise ...

Uship provided an econimcal way to have our sailboat towed from New Hampshire to Texas. We probably could not have done it as cheaply ourselves driving there and back, never mind the time and effort! Very pleased with our Uship experience.

Buying a boat sight unseen when it is close to 2500 miles away is not an easy task. However when it is the boat of your dreams and only 7 were ever made you just can’t help but look for a way to turn your dream into reality. Fortunately that is where UShip comes in. I had not used the UShip service before and was somewhat leery about the entire process; fortunately it was an easy one and wi ...

The first company I contracted with turned out to be weird. He showed up to the pick up, loaded the boat pointing to the sky, freaked out on the marina personell, unloaded the boat, and left. I ended up contracting with another company that met my schedule and gave me a better price. Alls well that ends well.

We shipped a 42' sailboat from Chicago to Seattle withthe help of Yacht Details through uShip. I was leery about using an online vendor for such a big shipment but it worked out great and we would definitely use Yacht Details again.

I did a lot of research on how to ship my boat. Truly the u-ship system turned to be the most cost effective venue to reach for competitve providers at very competitive prices. I am glad that someone came up with the u-ship idea, and will definetly use it again in the future. I will tell all my friends about this service and raccomand it to companies that I work with as well.

I was very pleased with the overall experience of Uship and Certified Sales, Mendon, MA. I had a 34' Sailboat shipped from NY to Maine. It arrived as scheduled without damage. The communication was great between Uship and the shipper. Salvage Yachts/Certified Sales kept in contact with me as to the status of the pick up and delivery. I would definately use Uship again.

GREAT DEAL GREAT SERVICE 1975 Charaters left what else is necessarry

I would heartily recommend uShip to anyone needing something hauled or shipped. It's a great way to get a good price for your job. You can tap into such a large community of professionals shippers through UShip that would be impossible to reach on your own.

Scott did a great job of communicating and providing a timely and high quality delivery of our 25' sailboat! He showed a concern for our shipment as though it was his own, which we greatly appreciate. We highly recommend Scott without any reservations and will likely contact him again in the Spring to move our sailboat back to the lake. GREAT JOB SCOTT on a very windy, rainy day in Wisconsin!! ...

Shipping a heavy displacement sailboat across country is a heart pounding experience. You have to rely so much on others and have the faith that they will take care of your precious cargo with TLC. When Haul4all offered us such a good price and seemed so personable in their responses, we decided to go with them. Through the shipping process we actually had so many updates with Phil that we became ...

A statutory Holiday made scheduling the transport difficult. Mark of Christine Transport made the conflicts disappear to the satisfaction of everyone. He prepositioned at the marina the night before my sailboat pickup and was ready to go at first light to meet the priorities of the pickup marina. He arrived at destination a day early and my sail boat was in great shape. There was never any pre ...

Great Experience. I was at the destination when shipping 1000 miles took place. John came weeks in advance to examine the trailer and boat to ensure that all would be safe. He arrived at pickup on time, improved the set up, then saved the day with DMV when we had a problem. Kept the boat in motion and delivered as expected. He protected the rig, with his careful inspections and adjustments. ...

I dind know how to get a boat all the way from San Antonio to Puerto Rico somehow i found this page and i decide it to give it a Try @ firs we put an add to send it to Puerto rico but the decided that it would be easier to sen it to a port so we did it like that and 10 days after the boat is on the water!!!!

Through the use of uShip, I was able to locate a great transporter (AbleBoat) to truck my 41' sailboat from Panama City Fl. to Alexandria Bay, NY. AbleBoat went out of their way to locate a suitable marina to ship from, as well as suggested a convenient location on the St Lawerence.

My experience with UShip and in particular with Mark Rinker was extremely positive. I do not regret using this service in any way and would do it again.

I needed a 22' boat given to me shipped from Ohio to New Hampshire. I researched all of my possibilities such as renting a uhaul or even buying a very used truck. I paid $636 to have the boat shipped which was far less than if I had tried the other two options I looked at. My provider was Mike from UshipWeHaul. He brought the boat in a very timely manner and was very professional. I will def ...

Item shipped, 16' sailboat boom, Eastern Ohio to Eastern Maryland, I could not find the time to pick up myself, J&B Transport, provided as promised service, at a price less than it would cost me to pick up myself, this is my second experience with a U Ship service provider, both service providers performed as agreed. Would use u ship again and again. I havd recomended U-Ship.com many times. Thank ...

I finally received my sailboat delivery via Northern Builders,(in good cond.)and they seem to be a good and responsible company. Previous to that I was robbed by a u-ship hauler for $800.00(gas dep.) and my deposit from U-ship was not refunded, reason being, they denied my cancellation. Now the hauler (Greg,w/ahiowner) after receiving my deposit, failed to answer my calls or e-mails for at leas ...

I had several bids and the one bid I went with was exactly what I was looking for. Shipper communicated well and delivered when he said he would. I would not hesitate to use uship.com or the shipper Mercer Enterprises LLC again.

I live in N.Calif. and was looking for a particular small used sailboat. When I found the one I wanted near Seattle I was very nervous having never done a long distance deal before. I had no idea how I would get it home short of taking four days off work to go get it. The seller suggested uShip. Within two days of posting my load, I had at least six bids to chose from. My biggest difficulty was c ...

Northern Haulers shipped a 24 foot sailboat I had bought unseen. They gave me an excellent report concerning the condition of the trailer and even rewired the lights for me at no charge. They came in when they said they would and communication was good.

Many years ago, I had my 37' Irwin Sailboat trucked from Florida to Ohio in order to complete many needed upgrades. A good friend of mine allowed me to keep the boat on his farm while I made my upgrades. There it stood on stands for over 15 years, when about a year ago, my friend told me that he was selling the farm the following summer. I decided to buy my own trailer and have it towed approx. 50 ...

I needed a 26' trailerable sailboat brought from Vt. to Sc. and I couldn't go to get it myself. Uship was suggested to me by a friend and I put my dhippment on line. I recieved several bids but the price was more than I could afford so I suggested what I could pay and recieved 4 bids at that price. I picked the shipper that had the most boat experience. He had mechanical problems but communica ...

He was able to deliver the boat when promised and went the extra mile to get things done for me. He was always reachable by phone and gave updates on his delivery schedule for me so I knew where he was in the delivery process of my boat.

Thanks to NautiBouy Marine Moving Services in Sandusky,OH for the excellent job they did moving a 30 foot Bristol Sailboat to the Hills of West Virginia. "I am now ready for the great flood," LOL. Seriously these folks went above an beyond to deliver this boat. They help Unstep the mast at the marina in preparation for transport and stayed until the boat was securely in its cradle. There rates wer ...

Driver/owner was very good at informing me of dates and times, boat was loaded on a very well designed trailer and the trip was very smooth with not a scratch or mark of any type.

I shipped sailboat from Michigan to California as I had moved out this way. Eaglehawk Industries was my provider. Robert was very friendly and accomodating. He even credited me $250 for a delay he experienced for my transpsort. In addition his bid beat others by sometimes severl thousand dollars. U-Ship is great and I would use them in a heartbeat. Blee

I live in Phoenix and sold an older sailboat to a gentleman on the coast of WA. We stewed over the transport issue-neither of us had the right vehicle nor the time to deal with it. Surfing the net I found uShip and posted the bid request. Of the 3 or 4 bids, my buyer and I agreed on "WHY"/Shane's services. This young man couldn't have been more professional and communicative. We were dealing ...

I live in Montreal and planed to spend the winter in Florida on my Eider II, a 25 feet Catalina sailing boat. Because the northern part of the trip (Montreal to Norfolk) is difficult in cold wheater (November and April) I chosed to move the boat on trailer. My car is not pwerfull enough for the 7,000 lb. charge on so long distances. Both ways I used Uship biding sistem to find a provider and eac ...
