Best Apollo Beach, FL Moving Company

Apollo Beach is a waterfront community on the east shore of Tampa Bay in south Hillsborough County, known for its canals, boat docks, and bay views. Developer Francis Corr renamed the area Apollo Beach in 1958, and it has grown into a community of more than 33,000 people. Our Tampa crew moves families into and out of Apollo Beach’s canal homes, newer planned communities, and condos all year.

The original neighborhoods off Apollo Beach Boulevard are built along about 55 miles of canals, with many homes backing up to seawalls and docks. Some of these homes are raised because of flood zones, which means stairs at the entry, and some streets are narrow with little room for a big truck. We check parking and access before moving day, bring the right truck for the street, and pack boating and fishing gear with the same care as the furniture. Waterfront patios and pool decks often need extra padding and floor protection too.

East of US 41, Waterset and other newer communities offer single-family homes, townhomes, and a 55+ section. These neighborhoods have HOA rules on move hours, truck parking, and storage containers, so we plan around them and confirm the details ahead of time. Many homes here are brand new, so we take extra care with fresh paint, new floors, and door frames. Newer builds also mean lots of moves from out of state, and we handle long-distance moves as well as local ones.

Life here moves at a relaxed pace, with the Apollo Beach Nature Preserve, the manatee viewing center by the Big Bend Power Station, and waterfront restaurants along the canals. Summer brings heat and afternoon storms, so we start early, wrap furniture well, and keep floors covered. In winter, manatees gather in the warm water by the power plant, and the viewing center is free to visit. Many residents commute to Tampa, with an average commute of about 35 minutes, so we also plan around rush hour on US 41 and I-75.

We also serve nearby Gibsonton, Riverview, and the rest of Hillsborough County. Whether you are moving from a canal home to a smaller place nearby or from Apollo Beach to a new state, we can plan every step with you. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers treats every Apollo Beach move like we are helping our own neighbors. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 813-544-0048 for a free quote.

★★★★★

“Excellent experience! We have moved 11 times and once overseas and A&M is in the top two moves! They communicate well and there are no curveballs. Chris, Zack & “Ox” were hard working, courteous and professional. They moved us quickly and took great care with our property. When initially speaking with Matt, he realized I was a Veteran and he immediately offered a Veteran’s discount. I would highly recommend A&M Friendly Movers because they live their name!”

Moving in Apollo Beach: Local Tips From Our Crew

Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Apollo Beach. Here’s what we plan around.

Plan waterfront home logistics

About 55 miles of canals run through Apollo Beach to Tampa Bay, and many homes sit right on the water. Tell us about docks, boat lifts, or tight canal-side lots when you book so we can plan the load.

Use I-75 Exit 246

I-75 runs through eastern Apollo Beach with access at Exit 246 on the north edge, and US 41 cuts through the middle. We choose between them based on the time of day.

Expect manatee-season visitors

TECO’s Manatee Viewing Center at 6990 Dickman Road is open daily from Nov. 1 to April 15, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Allow extra time on the roads near Big Bend during that season.

Book bulky pickup first

Apollo Beach is unincorporated, so Hillsborough County handles trash. Call (813) 272-5680 to schedule a special pickup for furniture or appliances before anything goes to the curb.

Flatten boxes, watch curb times

The county counts 20 cardboard boxes as one bulky item, and carts can go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection.
