Ocean Alexander Yacht Delivery
“Queen Bee” is an Ocean Alexander 390 Sundeck yacht delivery. I transported the 390 from Pugh Marina located in Racine Wisconsin to Brewer Stratford Marina in Stratford Connecticut. The staff at Pugh Marina completed all of the preparations to the Ocean Alexander 390 Sundeck for transport. The Ocean Alexander sits very tall and wide compared to its length. They removed the arch along with the props and rudders in order to get it under legal height. The route was considerably longer than that of a trip by car. This is mostly due to staying far clear of Chicago traffic then there are the unavoidable construction detours through Pennsylvania. Other than the extra miles the trip was smooth sailing, pun intended….

Specifications for yacht delivery are slightly more difficult to come by. yachtworld.com is one that sometimes provides adequate information.
Pilot Cars
As always, pilot cars were provided by Sean at Coastal Light Pilot Cars. In the many years I have been dealing with Sean, I am never disappointed. As always his service is the very best and we will continue to use him whenever needed.
Racine, Wisconsin
I found Pugh Marina located on the western shore of Lake Michigan in Racine Wisconsin to be very knowledgeable and helpful. They are the kind of yard that jumps right in and gets the job done. I would recommend them as a good yard for boat movers.
Stratford Connecticut
Brewer Stratford Marina located on the Housatonic River in Stratford Connecticut was a little disappointing as compared to other Brewer Marinas. I typically find these marinas to be top notch, helpful and very accommodating. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case in Stratford. I hope I just caught them on an off day and I feel as though this is probably best left at that.
Eric did a fantastic job bringing my 39 ft Ocean Alexander from Racine, Wi to Stratford, Ct.. Eric has an engineering degree which sets him apart from most yacht transport firms. He quickly assessed a strategy to transport the yacht and executed it flawlessly. When Connecticut wanted Police Escorts and night time transport, he personally took the initiative to lower the height to below 14 ft to avoid this requirement. He was crucial in helping the marina prepare the boat for transport by assisting in removing the rudders. On a 1-10 scale, I would give Eric a 15. You can not find a more capable person to transport your yacht. He was pretty unflappable and not phased by the many challenges we had to overcome. I extend my highest recommendation to Eric and a complete vote of confidence in his ability. He also has a new sophisticated truck & trailer which enables him more options than the average transport firm. Look no further-this is the guy you want to transport your yacht.
