What Our Customers Say About Us

Trying to find a boat hauler to trust your boat to for a cross country haul is a daunting task. Being our second transport across the US from Florida to Washington state, I felt more prepared to take on this task, albeit still stressed.

After finding 3 haulers that looked good on the web, pricing and phone interviews were my second step.
The Gods were smiling on me the day that I hired Chris Holmes of US Boat Haulers to transport our boat!
He called when he said he would. He arrived when he said he would. Answered all our questions about boat prep. And he loaded our boat with methodical artistry! My estimate of the overall height was off so Chris had to access the DOT website to reroute. This took couple of minutes with his mobile system and cost was $0.00!

We were driving our private vehicles and left the marina at about the same time as Chris and our boat. We stopped for gas and then began our drive across the Causeway Bridge headed for Mobile,Al.. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw our boat transport behind us! Our lane had stopped and Chris passed us with our boat. Chris Holmes is a superb driver! He had that truck and trailer perfectly in the lanes in heavy traffic and heavy wind all the way across that 7 mile long narrow bridge across Mobile Bay! We turned into Mobile downtown and Chris took the truck detour. We saw him again as the freeways intersected further down the road. Again, Chris had our boat perfectly in the lanes and his driving so impressed us that we NEVER worried for one second that our boat wasn’t in the best hands that money could buy!

Chris arrived on time and the boat was in perfect condition. Chris had another boat to transport from WA to CA the next day so he helped with moving boxes from our truck to the boat while waiting. Talk about going the extra mile! Thanks, Chris!!!

This is Al from the J/109. I’m one of those uber-nervous boat owners when it comes to handing your baby boat over to somebody else, particularly when they get on the road for 1800 miles. Chris at US Boat Haulers was actually able to put me at ease. Great experience! he was on time (on both ends of the trip), very careful with the boat and he was always accessible along the way. He gave me a link to a tracker, so I always knew where they were. He worked with the yards on both ends and sent me pictures every evening when he stopped and at the origin and destination. Truly couldn’t ask for more..

US Boat Haulers and Chris Holmes did an INCREDIBLE job hauling our 400 FX Formula. The daily communication and real time GPS tracking created an additional level of comfort during the haul. From the initial quote, to providing full coverage Cargo Insurance, and to final delivery and unloading, Chris was 110% professional, polite and a pleasure to deal with. If you want you boat hauled with a piece of mind and done right, then hire US Boat Haulers; They are WORTH IT !!!!! Thank You Chris!!!
