Dale's take on San Rafael

I've pulled boats out of San Rafael backyards for years. Some came with the house when someone inherited a property and didn't want the old boat sitting there. Others belonged to people who listed the thing for a season, got no offers, and finally decided to stop paying storage fees on a vessel nobody was buying.

We tow junk boats from San Rafael start to finish. That includes the paperwork, the haul, and getting the vessel out of your way. Jobs in Santa Venetia often stack with a San Rafael call the same afternoon. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the California page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in San Rafael

We handle the full removal of any vessel in San Rafael, from the moment we show up until it's gone for good. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from three situations: a boat sitting on a dead trailer in someone's driveway, a hull taking up space in a storage lot, or a slip rental you're tired of paying at a marina. We bring a heavy trailer, rigging gear, and whatever equipment the pickup needs. Once we load it, we transport the boat out of San Rafael. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We also cover the same route runs through Ross and San Anselmo, so if your vessel is anywhere in that corridor, the logistics work the same way. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in San Rafael works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in San Rafael, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

  2. 2

    Get a fixed quote the same day

    Flat fee covering pickup, transport, and disposal at a licensed facility. No per-hour charges, no fuel surcharges added later.

  3. 3

    Schedule the removal in San Rafael

    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. 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.

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 California pricing section.

Common questions about San Rafael boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in San Rafael?
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 San Rafael get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in San Rafael?
Sometimes. A running outboard or decent aluminum can carry the cost, and we take the boat for nothing. No value means a fee. We tell you which one you have before anything is scheduled.
Can you remove a boat without a title in San Rafael?
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 San Rafael?
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. Plenty of San Rafael owners are at work or out of state. You get photos of the boat loaded before final payment, and the paperwork is handled remotely.
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 San Rafael?
Every kind that shows up in San Rafael: 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.
