OUTSTANDING !!! Wonderful service, very professional. Terrifc communication. Called me every single day to keep me informed on my race boat. Friendly and polite people, like an old friend. Just the best you can get. The Truck and trailer was safe and well cared for. Real sturdy good equipment and very good drivers. If you chose anyone else, you are a losing out. Good prices too !!! They took excellent care of my baby.
Response from houseofboats:
We thank CaptMcDonald for the positive feedback, we love classic boats and the people who preserve them. We also thank Uship for helping us fill an otherwise empty truck from California to Washington. Truly a win-win situation for shippers and transporters. This shipper was a joy to work with..paid up front and gave us excellent directions and communication. I would highly reccomend CaptMcdonald to any other carriers.

Great shipping experience! John and the drive Troy were very professional and helpful. He kept us aware of where our boat was located over the course of the week and even helped schedule the loading and offloading with the two marinas. Boat arrived early and in great shape. I highly recommend contracting with House of Boats!! If I ever have to ship again, John will be the first one I'll call. Thanks John!

House of boats did a great job shipping our 22 ft Donzi boat. They were easy to communicate with, and got the boat here right on time with no problems at all. They were very willing to pick it up on the day we needed, and found loading/unloading sites for us as well. We will definately use them for any boat transportation in the future. They took very good care of the boat on its way from Maine to Texas. Great people to do business with! Reasonable price!Highly recommend!
Response from houseofboats:
Thanks for letting us deliver your beautiful Donzi to Texas from Maine. The shipper was very helpful and the job went very well. This was a part load for us and really helped pay for that high priced diesel. Thanks for helping us with this shipment.
