What We Remove
If it's a boat and it's a problem, it's our job.
Pontoons, bass boats, ski boats, cabin cruisers, sailboats, jon boats and jet skis — running or not, on a trailer or not, titled or not.
Junk Boat Removal
Old, non-running, or not worth fixing. We haul it off the yard, driveway, dock or storage lot and take care of disposal.

Sunken Boat Removal
Gone under at the dock, in the slip or on the lake. Recovery, fluid containment and haul-away.
How sunken boat removal works →
Abandoned Boat Removal
A tenant, buyer or stranger left a boat on your land, dock or slip. We explain the Texas process and remove it once it's cleared to go.

Wrecked Boat Removal
Collision, grounding, fire or trailer accident. Totaled and broken boats loaded and hauled off.

Storm-Damaged Boats
Hurricane, flood or storm left the boat swamped, damaged or somewhere it doesn't belong. We remove it once you're cleared.

On land, at the dock, or under the water.
Yards, driveways & storage lots
The most common job. Boats on trailers, on blocks or on the ground, including behind gates and fences.
Private docks & boathouses
Boats tied up for years, sitting on a failed lift, or swamped in a boathouse slip.
Marinas & slips
We coordinate with marina staff on access, hours and haul-out. Marinas often have their own paperwork for boats they're clearing.
In the water
Sunk, partially submerged or grounded boats near docks and shorelines on Texas lakes, bays and canals.
How It Works
Call comes in, ticket opens, boat leaves.
- Step 01
Tell us about the boat
Type, rough length, where it's sitting, and a few photos if you have them. Two minutes on the form or one phone call.
- Step 02
Get a real quote
We call back, confirm what the photos don't show, and give you a price before anything is scheduled.
- Step 03
We haul it away
On removal day the boat is loaded and taken off site. The trailer can go too.
- Step 04
It's handled from there
Disposal is on us — you don't arrange a dump run, a scrap buyer or a second trip.

Straight Answers
Common questions
How much does boat removal cost in Texas?
Boats under 20 ft run $550 to $850. Boats 20 ft to 34 ft run from about $1,000, up to $3,500. A 35 ft boat runs $4,500 to $5,500, and anything over 35 ft gets a custom quote. Sunk, partly sunk and in-water boats start at the range. It's a rough range: we confirm a firm price from your photos before we schedule anything. Same range anywhere in Texas, no travel fee.
Boat removal prices in Texas →Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, usually. For a junk or damaged boat you own, a missing title is rarely a problem — we mainly need to confirm you have authority over the property where it sits. A boat that belongs to someone else is different; that falls under Texas abandoned-vessel rules.
Boat removal without a title in Texas →How quickly can my boat be removed?
We reply to every quote request the same day. Timing depends on where the boat is, what the job needs and how busy the schedule is — after a major storm, for example, it takes longer. We'll give you a real date when we quote.
What information do you need for a quote?
The boat's type and approximate length, its condition, where it's sitting (driveway, dock, in the water, marina), the city or nearest town, and whether you have the title. Two or three photos — the boat, the trailer tires, and the path to the street or water — make the quote much more accurate.
Do I need to be there on removal day?
Not always. If we've confirmed access and details beforehand, many pickups don't need you on site. For marina, gated or in-water jobs, someone usually needs to provide access.
What areas of Texas do you serve?
All of Texas, including Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, the Gulf Coast, East Texas and South Texas, plus the major lakes. If you're not sure we cover your town, call and we'll confirm.
