Dale's take on West Memphis

I get calls from people who bought a sailboat they thought they'd use. The mast came down one fall in Crittenden County and never went back up. Slip fees kept climbing, the rig sat idle, and suddenly the boat wasn't an asset anymore. Other times it's an old sailboat that came with a lake house nobody in the family wants to sail, or the one buried behind the garage for a decade because a restoration stalled at the deck core. A survey failed, the sale fell apart, and now there's just a boat that won't move and won't sell.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew covers West Memphis, Marion, and Sunset on the same trip, so whether your boat's in a slip, a storage lot, or sitting on stands, we come get it. We drop the rig, load it, and tow it out. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. Everything else, the details on how we handle the hull and what happens next, lives on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in West Memphis

Sailboat disposal in West Memphis means we handle the entire breakdown on-site or at our yard. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our facility, and any scrap value gets credited against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull is cut and routed to the processor. Whether your vessel sits in a driveway, boatyard, or storage lot, we run the haul-out and any marina conversation. Crews in Edmondson and Jericho handle similar jobs the same way. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in West Memphis works

  1. 1

    Send photos, rig status, and the pickup ZIP

    Length, keel type, whether the mast is up or already down, and access notes for the yard or slip in West Memphis. Photos of the rig and any winches or hardware set the number.

  2. 2

    Get a firm quote back the same day

    One number covers rig-down through disposal. Keel scrap value is credited off the total up front, not owed back after.

  3. 3

    Schedule pickup and marina coordination in West Memphis

    If the boat is in a slip we run the marina office and the crane call. On stands or on a trailer we set a date and window; the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Rig-down and load

    Mast unstepped, standing rigging cut or salvaged, spreaders and boom stacked and strapped. Usable sails, winches, and hardware come off before the hull leaves.

  5. 5

    Keel out, hull processed, documentation

    The keel is unbolted or cut at our yard, weighed, and sold to the metal recycler; the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to a processor. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record.

    Metal keel, rigging, winches, and salvageable hardware are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard move it from there. Lead keel scrap value is credited off — details on the Arkansas sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about West Memphis sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in West Memphis?
Length and keel type set most of it. Lead scrap value credits back against the number. Send photos of the boat and the rig and the quote comes back the same day, firm.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes — slip pickups are routine. We call the marina, book the crane, and pull the mast on the ramp if that is where it makes sense. One point of contact all the way through.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Yes. Lead recovers more per pound at scrap than iron, and the value gets credited against the price. We confirm keel type from photos before we quote because it moves the number more than almost anything else.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation works when the boat still has resale value. A stalled restoration or a stripped hull almost never qualifies. Send photos and I will tell you honestly which route makes sense.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
We unstep the mast, coil or salvage the standing rigging, and pull winches, cleats, and any usable sails before the hull leaves. Metals get recycled and sails get sold or donated when they are still good.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in West Memphis?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What Arkansas requires for the paperwork side lives on the Arkansas boat-removal page, in the legal section. We handle what we can from our end.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
A boat on stands for a decade is exactly what this service is for. Nothing about the condition surprises the crew. The quote is built for boats that need the work we are already doing.
