Dale's take on Novato

I've pulled junk boats out of Novato backyards for years. Some were inherited with the house, titles tangled up in an estate cleanout nobody wanted to handle. Others sat for a season or two after the owner listed them with no bites, then the slip fees kept coming and the repair quote for a dead motor landed higher than the hull was worth. One call, and we handle it start to finish.

We tow the old boat out, paperwork squared or not. Jobs in Black Point-Green Point often stack with a Novato call, and we move both the same day. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the California page. Whether it's a vessel rotting in a storage lot or taking up space behind the garage, the crew loads it, hauls it, and you get a receipt that says it's gone.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Novato

We handle every vessel removal in Novato the same way: we show up, we load it, we haul it out. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from driveways where a boat's been sitting on a dead trailer, storage lots where someone's renting space they don't need, or marina slips taking up room. We bring a flatbed, proper straps, and the equipment to load safely whether the thing's on wheels or blocks. From there, boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. If you're in Lucas Valley-Marinwood or Sleepy Hollow, the same route runs through both neighborhoods, so scheduling's straightforward. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Novato

O'Day 25 removal Novato CA

Novato, CA: 25 ft O'Day Gone in One Morning

A 25 ft O'Day 25 had been sitting on concrete stands in Novato for years, keel bolts weeping rust down the fiberglass hull in long orange streaks. The owner had moved to San Rafael and couldn't sell it, couldn't fix it, and finally decided he was done looking at it every time he backed out of the garage. The mast was already down, lashed to the boom, but the keel was still bolted in place and the whole rig was heavy.

  4. 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. 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.

Common questions about Novato boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Novato?
Cost in Novato starts where the pricing above starts, and the boat itself sets the rest: size, where it sits, condition, and the haul. Send photos and the ZIP, the number you get is the number you pay.
Is boat removal ever free in Novato?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Novato?
California titles boats. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the California page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Novato?
Most Novato jobs are scheduled within a couple of days. The window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out. Rush jobs depend on the route, call early.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
We take the trailer whenever you want it gone, which is almost always. Rotted tires and seized hubs are normal. The boat gets winched, the trailer gets loaded, the driveway gets empty.
What kinds of boats do you take in Novato?
Any of them. Fiberglass cruisers, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, jet skis. No engine, flat tires, full of leaves and rainwater, still yes. If it was supposed to float, we haul it.
