Boat removal questions, answered

There's no honest flat price — boat removal is quoted per job, and the quote is free. The biggest factors are the boat's size, whether it's on land or in the water, how easy it is to reach, whether a trailer can roll, and how far it is from our normal routes. Send photos and the basics and we'll give you a real number instead of a range that changes on the day.

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.

Yes. We recover and remove boats that have sunk in slips, at docks, in boathouses and near shore. The approach depends on depth, access and what's aboard, so photos from the dock help us quote.

Yes — yards, driveways, side yards, barns, carports and storage lots are the most common jobs we do. If the boat on your property isn't yours, tell us, because the steps before removal are different.

Yes. We coordinate access, hours and haul-out with the marina. If the marina is clearing an abandoned or unpaid boat, it usually handles its own paperwork under the slip agreement.

Fiberglass hulls are not widely recyclable in Texas, so they generally go to a facility that accepts them after fluids, batteries and salvageable metal are removed. Aluminum boats and trailers have scrap value.

Most Texas requests get a callback the same day, with removal usually scheduled within the week. 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.

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.

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.

No. Take out anything personal you want to keep. Don't drain fuel or pull batteries if you're not comfortable doing it — just tell us what's aboard.

Yes. Photograph the damage and check with your insurer first — they may need to inspect it before it moves. Then we can quote and remove it from wherever the storm left it.

Yes, if you want it gone. Mention it when you ask for a quote so it's included.
