Best Interbay, FL Moving Company
Interbay is the name for the Interbay Peninsula, the long piece of South Tampa between Old Tampa Bay and Hillsborough Bay that runs south to MacDill Air Force Base, all inside the City of Tampa. The city also has a small neighborhood officially named Interbay near the base, bordered by Interbay Boulevard to the north and MacDill to the south. Most locals just call this whole area South of Gandy. It has grown fast in recent years, with new townhomes and apartments going up next to older homes.
MacDill shapes life on the peninsula. Service members and their families move in and out all year, so we do a lot of military moves here, from local moves off base to long-distance moves after new orders. We can work around report dates and move-out inspections, and we keep a clear list of what goes on the truck so nothing gets left behind. If your new home is not ready yet, we can hold your things in storage until it is. We also help families moving onto the peninsula from other bases.
Housing on the peninsula is a real mix. Older one-story homes sit next to new townhomes, and there are apartment communities close to the base gates. Out west, Port Tampa has older homes near the water and Picnic Island Park. A lot of the peninsula is low and close to the bay, so many new homes are built up high with more stairs. Summer means heat and afternoon storms, so we plan early starts and keep furniture wrapped. We also walk the home with you first so we know which pieces need extra care.
Getting around takes planning. Gandy Boulevard, Dale Mabry Highway, MacDill Avenue and Interbay Boulevard all get busy when base traffic peaks, and the Selmon Expressway and Gandy Bridge feed in more cars. Our Tampa crew times your move around it. Afterward, grab lunch at Big Ray’s Fish Camp or a Cuban sandwich at Interbay Meat Market, two local spots on Interbay Boulevard. On weekends, Picnic Island Park and Ballast Point Park are close by for a break by the water.
We also serve the nearby neighborhoods of Gandy-Sun Bay South and Ballast Point, plus the rest of Tampa. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we are proud to help military and local families on the Interbay Peninsula. 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!”

“We had a wonderful experience with the team at A&M movers. The office was easy to communicate with as they handle inquiries by both phone and text. The crew at our move today was very professional and efficient. They were very careful with our belongings and meticulously wrapped all of our furniture. Highly recommend this team for your move!”

Moving in Interbay: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Interbay. Here’s what we plan around.
Check your moving entitlements
If you’re on military orders, MacDill’s Traffic Management Flight in Building 49 (8307 Cypress Stand Dr., 813-828-2600) can explain your household goods entitlements before you book.
Use base relocation help
MacDill’s Military and Family Readiness Center relocation office at 8105 Condor Street (813-828-0145) offers PCS planning, workshops and settling-in help.
Book city bulky pickup
This area is inside Tampa city limits, so the City collects furniture, mattresses and appliances. Call the Utilities Call Center at (813) 274-8811 to request special services.
Know the Selmon Extension
A 1.9-mile toll lane opened in 2021 in the median of Gandy Boulevard, linking directly to the Selmon Expressway and Dale Mabry Highway.
Use the city scale house
Tampa residents with an active residential solid waste account can drop furniture, mattresses and up to two appliances per visit at the McKay Bay Scale House at no additional charge. Bring a government ID and a utility bill showing the same name.
