    Turner Yacht Services did a superb job moving a 40’ motor yacht for me. They did an excellent job with all the pre-move coordination and planning resulting in a seamless, safe and on-time pickup and delivery. I can recommend Turner without hesitation and will definitely use them again for all my large vessel moving needs.

    I've had a few guys move boats for me before and it's refreshing to have someone like Richard Turner be there for you. He moved my 38' sailboat from Marina to one of my properties and it was a great experience. Communicated the entire time before and during on what was going on and when. Super Professional and cool dude at the same time. Even the guys at the marina were like "who is this guy? He knows his stuff, has a great rig, and is great to work with." That speaks volumes. I'll be putting my boat back in the water hopefully next year and will give him the first call to move it as well as tell everyone that needs any boat moved large or small, to give Richard a ring.

    Tom was quick, efficient and knew if sources on how to get a part quickly that no one else could source in the area. He did a great job getting my boat up and running again.

    Had had my new boat delivered by Richard from MD to SC. Couldn’t have asked for more. He inspected and performed maintenance on the trailer to make sure everything would go smoothly and delivered safely. Great communication, great service and all at a fair price. Highly recommended!

    Reviews by Jacob McCarthy and Sarah McDermott (both made on the same day) are fake. This business does not have records of clients by the name of “Jacob McCarthy and Sarah McDermott”. Please note that both fake names used are names of hollywood actors. Please also note that Fake reviews are slander and harassment and this matter is currently being discussed with local police and Google.

    This was a wonderful experience. I have a 38' CC with a 13' beam and 12' rise making this an oversized load. Mr. Turner was extremely knowledgeable and easily answered all of my questions and put my concerns at rest. He coordinated with both marinas and my vessel was moved within a week for an extremely fair price! Thank you again sir!

    Richard moved our boat from Havre de Grace to our Pennsylvania farm. Customer service is his top priority. Fill out his form on line. Richard double checks size of boat, routes, and where he is going to drop the boat to guarantee it can be done safely without incident. Our drop off was behind the barn. Richard takes great care in positioning and securing the boat before moving. His pricing is very fair for the detail and work involved in moving the boat. I will not consider another transporter when it is time to take the boat back to the bay.

    Richard was a life saver! There are so many moving parts buying a boat out of state, then having it trailered to your home. Richard took control of dealing with the seller, the marina and everything in the most professional honest way. He told me that he would take care of everything and he did! I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you again!

    Mr. Turner relocated my Monterey 27.5 SY cabin cruiser from Maryland to Hopewell, Virginia. His service was outstanding! The delivery was right on schedule. He took time to go over every inch of my boat to insure no damage was done during transit. He even polished a spot on the gel coat that didn’t meet his standard. I appreciated the amount of pride and attention to detail that he took in his work. I highly recommend his service.

    If you want to move your boat over a long distance, Turner yacht Services is a great option. When I need to move my boat between Annapolis and Maine, I became very frustrated dealing with larger companies and franchisees.This family owned local business gave me great service at a reasonable cost.

    I found Turner Yacht online, called and received the best quote. Scheduled the tow, paid the deposit. I spoke with Richard he said he would be there at 9:30am at 9:05 I went to the bathroom at 9:10 while I was waiting for him I decided to read the reviews for this company. My jaw dropped when I read a couple of them. So at 9:20 I walked back to the boat and he was there backing the trailer in. Of course I'm getting close to smell his breath ( during COVID-19. I'm fully vaccinated) and see if I see any liquor bottles fall out his truck. He was clean and sober. I peeked in the window looking for booze. NOTHING!!! Long story short somebody LIED ON past reviews. He was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Did an excellent job and gave me a lot of information. Thanks Richard. @Turner yachts.

    I just had RIchard (Turner Yacht Services) deliver my 26' Sea Ray from Hollywood, MD to Occoquan, VA. Richard was great to work with, he kept me posted about times and costs, and most importantly the boat arrived with zero damage and zero drama
