How our crew coordinates vessel pickup and disposal

We offer full-service boat removal, salvage and disposal for small and large jobs. Whether it’s a large sinking sailboat offshore, or a small bass boat in your driveway. If it’s a boat – we’ll remove it.

Boat Hauler handles full boat removal by floating submerged or sinking vessels, towing them across the water, loading them at ramps, and hauling them over land to salvage, dismantle, recycle, or dispose of the hull completely.

Do I have to stay on site during boat removal?

No. We complete jobs for customers out of country, out of state, or just at work on a regular basis.

If you aren't on site when we arrive for the boat removal, we'll send photos of the vessel loaded before you pay the remaining balance. For sunk boats, we collect the final balance when the crew arrives.

Do you handle boat removal for insurance companies and government contractors?

Yes. We are versed in the process and have been a vendor on behalf of many insurance companies, and we have worked with the customer and insurance company to complete the job seamlessly.

If your agency or company needs a reliable vendor for boat removal, vessel search and recovery, salvage, or disposal, Boat Hauler works directly with local government and government contractors. Fill out the form and someone from sales will reach out to you. We can supply our DNB, W9, and Insurance documentation upon request, subject to approval.

Does Boat Hauler offer search, floating, and recovery for boat removal?

Aside from full boat removal and disposal, we also provide search and recovery for vessels.

If you are unsure of your vessel's exact location, give us GPS coordinates and Boat Hauler will handle the search and boat removal once we track it down.

How do boat removal, recycling, and marine salvage work?

The process of boat disposal differs from one boat to the next, and from one boat yard to the other. We can only speak on the service that we offer. Boat Hauler makes the process pretty painless by taking a full-service approach to boat disposal.

Boat Hauler provides complete boat removal and salvage services, handling everything from water towing, derigging, and mast stepping to fuel and water pump-outs. We manage boat ramp exchanges, haul-out coordination, road transport, and crane or diver deployment when a rig sits deep. Once the vessel is secured, we dismantle and dispose of it on or offsite. Our boat disposal and marine recycling work includes stripping usable parts, repurposing equipment, and safely scrapping end-of-life hulls.

How much does boat removal and marine salvage cost?

If you’re wondering the cost of marine salvage or how to get rid of a boat altogether, here’s a few key factors that will play a role in the cost or estimate: Length and beam/width of the boat, location of boat, disposition (land or water), nearest haul out or boat ramp, tow service requirements or is the vessel under its own power, condition of the vessel, fluids onboard, and finally type of vessel (sailboat, yacht etc.)

Several specific factors determine your final marine salvage quote and boat removal costs. Whether your vessel is currently sinking or already resting on the bottom changes the job entirely. We need to know if divers have to go down, if lift bags are required, or if heavy barnacle growth must be scraped clear before float devices can attach. Call Boat Hauler, and we'll iron out every one of these details to set your price.

Does a junk boat have value before boat removal?

Maybe to someone. That said, most junk boats have little to no value. Boat yards and boat disposal hubs may salvage valuable components, materials, and equipment from decommissioned, damaged, or abandoned vessels, while the majority of boat yards tend to focus mainly on the disposal of dead boats.

Real estate values beat out the worth of aging vessels and spare marine parts every day of the week. That is why the cost of boat removal almost always runs higher than what a hull aged 15 years or older is actually worth. Rusty metal trailers and old hardware take up space that costs too much to waste, so unless there is genuine value there, they get disposed of.

Should you give away a junk boat or hire boat removal?

With caution, giving away or selling a junk boat comes with some precautions. On many occasions a customer will call us and inquire about boat removal because their boat was sold to someone, yet years later they find out the boat wasn’t transferred. It gets tagged by the fish and wildlife agency or marked as abandoned by the local authorities or code enforcement, leaving you with a boat that is still your fiscal responsibility and with a timestamped requirement for action or to pay fines and face court.

That happens all the time when a buyer takes the vessel, skips the title transfer, and dumps it when they're done, leaving you stuck with code enforcement fines, impound fees, and a court date for a boat removal you thought was handled.

Understanding when a vessel pickup carries a charge

When fuel, trucks, heavy machinery, land transport, tow boats, boat trailer maintenance, dump fees, haul-outs, staff, new tires, and other unlisted business expenses are free your boats removal will be free. Until then, unfortunately we have to charge a price for service. We will however, work to offer you the lowest possible rate we can afford and offer you payment arrangements for vessel collection – approval based on your credit score.

You cannot get an old boat hauled off for nothing, as free boat removal is simply not typical in this business. Disposing of a hull takes real labor, so the short answer is no, and the price can be rather high depending on the job. Once we receive your inquiry, call, or form submission, a member from sales will reach out shortly after to discuss pricing with you. The actual cost of Boat Removal and Disposal differs from one city, township, county or state to another.

A few key facts explain how boat removal pricing works.

  1. Hull disposal and boat removal usually cost less when somebody has already pulled the engine out of the vessel.
  2. It usually costs less for boat removal and disposal when the vessel sits on land rather than in the water.
  3. Boat removal and disposal costs tend to drop when the trailer sitting under the craft is actually roadworthy.

What kinds of craft qualify for boat removal?

To name a few: cabin cruisers, cuddy cabins, yachts, sailboats of all sizes, trailer sailors, liveaboards, center and side console…

We handle boat removal for bass boats, fishing boats, walk-arounds, power boats, motorboats, catamarans, open hulls, bow riders, jet skis, and wave runners.

What boat removal services do we provide?

When you serve a variety of boat owners and sailors within the boating community, marine verbiage can be expansive…

People search for boat removal using plenty of different terms depending on what needs to happen to the hull. Whether you call it boat disposal, boat pickup, sailboat removal, boat hauling, or marine salvage services, it comes down to the same work. We also handle boat towing services, boat recovery, boat floating, and boat diving when the job requires getting under the water or pulling a vessel off the bottom.
