I've pulled junk boats out of Phenix City backyards for years. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and realized the old boat wasn't worth keeping. Others sat through a season on the market with no offers, and the owner got tired of the slip bill stacking up every month. One guy had a dead motor and a repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. He called us instead.
We handle boat removal in Phenix City start to finish. The crew loads it, tows it out, and handles the paperwork and title work on our end. Jobs in Smiths Station often stack with a Phenix City call the same afternoon. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Alabama page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Phenix City
We handle every vessel removal scenario Phenix City produces, from boats rotting on dead trailers in driveways to rigs sitting in storage lots and marina slips. When we show up, we bring a flatbed, proper tie-downs, and the equipment to winch or load whatever's stuck. Jobs start around $250. We assess the hull, drain fluids, disconnect anything bolted down, and load it for transport. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Most Phenix City removals follow the same route runs through Opelika and Auburn, so we can often batch jobs and keep costs down. The process steps below show how scheduling works.
Boat length, condition, location in Phenix City, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

We coordinate with the marina or property owner. The pickup window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out.
4
Crew handles the haul and dismantle
Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.
5
Destruction documentation
You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.
Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.
The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Alabama pricing section.
Common questions about Phenix City boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Phenix City?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in Phenix City get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Phenix City?
Free removal in Phenix City depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Phenix City?
Alabama does not title every boat. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Phenix City pickup. The legal section on the Alabama page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Phenix City?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Phenix City?
Every kind that shows up in Phenix City: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
