Dale's take on Santa Monica

We pull a lot of boats out of Santa Monica backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want the headache. Others have been sitting for years after the owner listed it one season, got no offers, and gave up. A 24-foot cabin cruiser with a dead motor and a $8,000 repair quote doesn't move. Neither does a sailboat that's been eating storage fees for five years straight.

When you call Hansons Boat Removal, we handle the old boat from start to finish. We tow it out, load it, and deal with all the paperwork. Jobs in Marina del Rey often stack with a Santa Monica call the same afternoon. We work with whatever you've got, title in hand or not. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the California page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Santa Monica

We handle the full removal of any vessel in Santa Monica, from initial assessment through final disposal. 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 that needs to be cleared at a local marina. We show up with a flatbed or specialized hauler, secure the boat, and load it onto the truck. After that, boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We run the same route through Culver City and Beverly Hills, so if your location falls nearby, scheduling stays efficient. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in Santa Monica works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in Santa Monica, 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 Santa Monica

    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 Santa Monica boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Santa Monica?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica?
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 Santa Monica?
Yes. California titles boats. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Santa Monica. What we need from you is on the California page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Santa Monica?
Fast. A typical Santa Monica 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?
No. Plenty of Santa Monica 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?
Yes. The trailer usually goes with the boat, and its condition does not matter. If it rolls, we tow it. If it does not, it rides on the truck.
What kinds of boats do you take in Santa Monica?
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.
