Dale's take on Richmond

We pull a lot of old boats out of Richmond backyards. Some came with the house when someone bought it, buried in an estate cleanout nobody wanted to handle. Others sat through a whole season on the market with no offers, and the owner finally stopped pretending it would sell. Then there's the slip bill that became more than the boat's worth, or the dead motor with a repair quote that made no sense. We get the call when someone's done waiting.

Hansons Boat Removal handles the full job in Richmond from start to finish. We load it, tow it out, and take care of the paperwork. Jobs in San Pablo often stack with a Richmond call, so we can work the same afternoon if the schedule lines up. Whether it's a junk boat with rot through the hull, an old vessel that's been storage lot deadweight for years, or an estate cleanout situation where the boat just needs to disappear, we handle it. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the California page.

Common questions about Richmond boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Richmond?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Richmond removal costs depends on the boat, where it sits, and the haul. The number we give you is the one we charge.
Is boat removal ever free in Richmond?
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 Richmond?
California titles boats. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Richmond pickup. The legal section on the California page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Richmond?
Fast. A typical Richmond pickup lands within a few days of the quote, with the window confirmed the day before. The crew calls an hour out so nobody waits around.
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?
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 Richmond?
If it is a boat, yes. Fiberglass or aluminum, power or sail, running or long dead. The rough ones are most of what we do, so nothing about yours will surprise the crew.
