Brought the wrong trailer to pick up my boat in Lake Powell. Kept my $3k deposit and hid all the evidence. Stay clear of this company, you have other options.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality The owner is incapable of using email or text communication, and doesn't operate professionally. The inability to conduct business via email/phone is laughable in 2021.

Showed up an hour late costing the customer hundreds more In crane service. I called the company and not even an apology. They stated "we called the crane service and let them know we were running late. They are there now right? Good. Thanks." unacceptable.

San Diego boat movers helped us truck and store our boat. They got all the work done on time and we're good to work with. Their yard is also a great place to do your own boat work, they always worked to accommodate our needs and there were plenty of people around to give us advice about the work.
