Fantastic communication from start to finish !!

Great people to work with. I loved their constant communication between me and their two partners. I received all their identification & insurance infor upfront and prompt w/o any problem. Thank you.

Moving a Compac 19/3 Sailboat

My daughter and I purchased a Compac 19/3 sailboat from a seller in Connecticut. We had originally planned to pick the boat up oursleves. The boat weights 2,000 pounds and the trailer 540 pounds. However, we used uShip and saved money, moving the boat from Connecticut to North Carolina. Our experience with uShip has been great! Their Service Provider, DRP Enterprises did an exceptional job. W ...

sailboat shipment

I needed my boat shipped from NC to RI. I listed the 28' sailboat with specs and within a couple of days I'd gotten several bids. I asked questions and decided to accept the bid. The bid was quite a bit lower than other bids I'd received from the boat broker and other on-line providers. The next day I was speaking directly to my shipper. The timing worked out perfectly. I closed on the boat on a ...

Great job shipping a 22' Sail Boat on the trailer that was purchased with the boat.

Bill did an excellent job of coordinating with the seller & the buyer. The buyer had secured the boat to the trailer as he had in the past. However, Bill wasn't confortable with way it was tied down. So, enroute, he stopped an purchase another tie down strap to complete the trip, on time & with out ensident. Larry

Shipping New Sailboat

I bought a new 25 foot sailboat on a trailer over 100 miles from the lake it will be sailed on. I needed someone with a good sized truck to haul it to the lake in the Colorado Mountains. USHIP allowed me to find an excellent service provider in a quick and competitive manner. All worked very well. Thanks USHIP great service!

27' Compac Moves in Style

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 ...

Great service

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.

Outstanding experience working with mover/shipper

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 ...

Good First Experience

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

For a neophyte shipping a 6 ton boat, this made my life so easy.

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 ...

Great experience shipping out of state boat

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.

Great experience

Iv'e move several boats over the years and this was by far the easiest and smoothest.

Great service

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

Unexpected Service Discovered!

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 ...

San Diego to Omaha

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 ...

Happy with the service

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

Canadian winter coast-to-coast.

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 ...

Great experience shipping a boat

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

100 satisfaction

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

Great experience shipping my boat

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

Great experience shipping our boat.

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 ...

First Sailboat

I bought a boat on eBay and had it shipped from Rhode Island to Texas in the middle of winter. I like uShip because I could take bids and read customer reviews. It helped for a newbie like me. I will certainly be doing this again next time I need the boat moved. I got an incredibly reasonable price and a shipper with a large number of great reviews. uShip is a fabulous complement to eBay.

MLR Transport delivered my Cal 2-29 through a storm in the Siskiyou Mountains

"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 ...

37' sailboat

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 ...

Good Boat Delivery

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 ...

EXCELLENT service shipping large boat

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.

it worked

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

Great Shipping Experience

I just shipped a 16' sailboat on its own trailer that I bought through eBay. As would be the case on a good deal on eBay, the boat was on the opposite side of the country from me and the trailer was not a known quantity in regards to condition. I posted my request on UShip and had 8 - 9 bids within 18 hours and at very aggressive prices! I accepted a bid from a shipper that had a number of canc ...

Shipping Sailboat

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 ...

Great experience using Uship!

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.

Smooth sailing with UShip and Longo1934.

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 ...

Interesting experience.

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.

Great experience shipping our boat

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.

Very positive experience shipping my Boat

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.

Great experience of shipping 34' Sailboat

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.

42 foot sailboat

GREAT DEAL GREAT SERVICE 1975 Charaters left what else is necessarry

Good experience with boat transport

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.

Our 25' sailboat "sailed" smoothly over Wisconsin Highways on a windy, rainy day and docked safely

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!! ...

Great experience shipping our heavy displacement sailboat

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 ...

Catalina 30 Sailboat

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 with Boat/Trailer 1000 mile trip.

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. ...

It was an Adventure

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!!!!

41 Ketch from Florida to Ontario

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.

sailboat on a trailer

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.

Fantastic experience shipping my boat

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 ...

Great experience shipping picking up and delivering my 16' sailboat boom.

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 ...

U-ship integreity

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 ...

Great experience shipping my sailboat mast

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.

This really works!

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 ...
