Size and type
A 14-foot aluminum fishing boat is one job. A 30-foot cabin cruiser is a different one. Length, beam, and weight decide the crew and the equipment.

California Boat Removal and Disposal
Twenty years of hauling junk boats out of driveways, marinas, and backyards. Firm quote before the truck rolls.
Licensed & Insured
California Statewide
Fast Response
By the time a California owner calls me, the boat has usually cost more sitting still than it ever did running. The slip bill outgrew what the boat is worth. Some boats came with a house or an estate nobody asked for. Others sat listed through a marina season without one serious offer. I have picked up more of these than I can count, and the story rarely changes.
My crew handles boat removal as one pass: pickup, transport, and boat disposal together. We work off a trailer, a storage lot, or straight from a marina slip. No title on the boat is common enough that we plan for it. Junk boats leave the same way. Details further down.
How much does boat removal cost?
Starting from
$250
Junk boat on a trailer that rolls, with room for the truck to reach it. From there, four things move the number.
I will tell you which ones apply to yours before we schedule anything.
Where it sits
Driveway on a trailer is the cheapest boat removal there is. On blocks in the backyard takes more work. In a slip, it needs a haul-out. Sunken, it needs recovery.
Condition
Engine already out is cheaper. Fuel still aboard, a hull full of rainwater, a trailer that will not roll: each adds handling.
Distance
Miles to the processing yard are part of the quote. Boat hauling cost scales with them.
Not sure which factors apply to your boat?
Can it be free?
People ask about free junk boat removal. Sometimes the boat has enough going for it, a running outboard, decent aluminum, and we take it for nothing. Sometimes it does not, and there is a fee. We will tell you which one you have.
The number is firm before the truck rolls.
Twenty years in, nobody has heard a different price at the curb.
Local read
What pricing looks like in California
California work splits between marina and moorage pulls on the coast and plain driveway jobs everywhere else. The state runs long, so hauls to the yard tend to run long too, and that mileage is baked into what I quote. Spring cleanout is the heaviest stretch, but boats come off properties here at a steady clip all year. Some are still afloat when I get the call, others have been sitting on blocks for years. I walk the site, note the access, and give one straight number. That figure is locked in before the truck ever pulls onto the property.
Junk boats we hauled out
Real crew snapshots from recent California pickups. Watermarked photos are placeholders while we swap in the real jobs.
Junk boat pickup, salvage, and old boat removal
One boat, a whole yard, or an emergency. Old boat removal from a driveway or an estate. Junk boat pickup for the one that never sold. Marinas and boat yards call us to clear a season of abandoned slips in one visit. Insurance adjusters call after storms. My crew has floated sunken boats, hauled sailboats out of backyards, and moved a 40-footer through a neighborhood that was not built for it. One call covers removal, transport, and disposal. If it floats, floated, or was supposed to float, we haul it.
Getting rid of a boat legally in California
State legal briefCalifornia
Reviewed August 25, 2026
California titles boats. Any undocumented vessel needing registration, meaning any sailboat over 8 feet or any boat with a motor of any size, gets a California Certificate of Ownership from the DMV. Canoes, rowboats, and sailboats under 8 feet are exempt.
To hand a boat to us we need the Certificate of Ownership endorsed over; sellers must also file a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (REG 138) within 5 days. With no title, California uses an Undocumented Vessel Surety Bond (REG 5058) when the boat is worth $2,000 or more, no lienholder release is possible, or the filer is a dealer; the bond equals the boat's value as appraised by a licensed yacht broker.
California runs two removal programs. The State Lands Commission removes a derelict boat immediately if it blocks navigation or is dangerous, or after 10 days notice otherwise. SAVE grants up to $2.75 million a year to reimburse local public agencies for removal, with the landowner's consent.
If the boat is not yours. SAVE pays, up to $2.75 million a year, to reimburse public agencies for removing a boat from your property with your consent. The catch is who can apply: only named public agencies, not you directly. Ask whether your county or city participates; if not, or the boat sits on dry land, removal is the practical answer, and it works without a title.
Skip the paperwork.We take California boats with or without titles. One call, one price.

Boat removal across California
Top 24 cities by population. 1593 cities covered across California.
Boat removal in California: what owners ask
How do I get rid of an old boat in California?
In California you can sell it, donate it, drop it at a salvage yard, or call a removal service to haul it away. Selling a marina or driveway boat takes longer than most owners want. We load the unwanted boat and handle the rest.
How much does boat disposal cost in California?
Boat disposal cost in California depends on size, condition, where the boat sits, and how far it has to travel, and hauls here tend to run long. The pricing section above breaks down how those factors add up.
Where can I dispose of a boat in California?
The workable routes are a salvage yard, a recycler, or a removal service that covers the boat dump end to end. Landfills across California generally refuse hulls at the gate. A removal service is the option that doesn't turn you away.
Can I get free junk boat removal in California?
Free junk boat removal happens in California when the boat still has value, a running outboard or solid aluminum for example. Otherwise abandoned boat removal comes with a fee, and we tell you which side of that line you're on before we schedule anything.
Are there boat salvage yards near me in California?
Yes, California has boat junkyards and salvage yards, but they expect the boat delivered on a trailer. A lot of marina and moorage boats simply can't make that trip on their own. That's where a removal service fills the gap.
How do I dispose of a fiberglass boat in California?
Most landfills in California turn away fiberglass hulls outright. It gets cut into sections and hauled to facilities built to process it, and that's exactly the kind of job boat removers handle. Don't count on doing that breakdown yourself.
Can you remove a boat without a title in California?
California titles boats, but a missing title doesn't stop us from picking it up. We still take the boat either way. The legal section above walks through what replacing a lost title actually involves.
