About

Operating from 6996-A Mission Gorge Road since 1968, San Diego Boat Movers in Grantville is one of the longest-running boat transport and storage operations in San Diego County. The company hauls sailboats, powerboats, and oversize yachts across town, throughout the continental United States, to Canada, and to Hawaii. The Mission Gorge Road yard sits in the 92120 commercial corridor north of the I-8, where the Grantville light-industrial zone provides the open-lot space and heavy-vehicle access that boat transport requires. Moving companies on the same corridor, including Aid-U Moving Company, handle household relocations while San Diego Boat Movers focuses exclusively on marine and oversize-freight logistics. Yard services extend beyond transport to include boat storage, a working boatyard for do-it-yourself repair and modification projects, mast shipping and delivery, derelict boat demolition and disposal, and lien auction processing for abandoned vessels. The company now partners with Safe Harbor Haulers for over-the-road yacht transport, adding oversize escort and route-permitting capability for wide-beam hulls. RV, camper, trailer, and shipping-container storage is available at the Mission Gorge Road lot for units up to 30 feet. Founder Larry built the company's oversize-hauling reputation over three decades before passing operations to Leland Parsons, a shipwright and rigger who ran the business through 2022. Vehicle recovery for vessels stranded at marinas or boat ramps sometimes involves coordination with towing operators on the Grantville corridor, including Angelo's Towing San Diego. The yard's carpentry and fiberglass shop handles custom repair and modification work for boat owners who store their vessels on-site between haul-out and relaunch.
