Professional boat removal and disposal, done right
Free estimates, fast scheduling, no hassle.
What our boat disposal work actually looks like
I started Hansons after watching an abandoned boat sit and rot at the end of my street for two years. Nobody knew how to dispose of it, and nobody wanted to deal with the paperwork or the haul. I figured if that was happening in my neighborhood, it was happening everywhere. Boat owners deserved a real solution, not a runaround.
We grew by doing the job right, every time. From junk boat pickups to full marine salvage on sunken cabin cruisers, our experienced team handles removal and disposal the honest way. We tow it, recycle what we can, and keep it out of the landfill. That's what professional boat removal looks like.
Hansons salvage by the numbers
At Hansons Boat Removal, our mission is straightforward: give boat owners a real solution for an old boat, an abandoned boat, or any vessel they need to dispose of, without the runaround.
Our experienced team handles the full job, from marine salvage and tow to responsible boat removal and disposal, keeping as much as possible out of the landfill and into the recycle stream. We're professional boat removers, plain and simple, and we treat every job, from a junk boat in a driveway to cabin cruisers taking up boat yard space, with the same care and honesty we'd want for ourselves.
