    Looking for advice on who to use or not to use transporting 57’x16’ boat from Seattle to Houston. Appreciate the input.

    Good endorsements from friends on the dock and business acquaintances (e.g. Nordhavn/PAE). The boat will arrive better than it departed. Have met them and they will be my first call if needed.

    Looking at their website, they appear to be more of a captain service. I’m looking for over land transport.

    I friend of mine had his Sunseeker 56 transported over land from Dallas to Houston last year, I will ask who used.
    Stay tuned.

    What type of boat are you moving? Is it easily made road ready or lots of things to remove?

    Houston boating, serious question, what is the local action?
    Do folks cruise the bay or do most go out past Galveston Island into the Gulf?

    I did a quick search for Houston marinas and find a lot of action in Clear Lake. I'll admit that Houston boating seems like more of a thing that I would have imagined.

    Good luck moving the boat.
