I've pulled old boats out of Santa Paula backyards for years. A 22-foot cabin cruiser that came with the house when someone inherited it, engine seized, sitting on a trailer with flat tires. A storage lot bill that grew bigger than the boat's value, and the owner finally called. An HOA letter. A dead motor with a repair quote that made no sense. These situations pile up, and they don't fix themselves.
We handle the whole thing from start to finish. Load it, tow it, handle the title paperwork, get it to the right place. Jobs in Saticoy often stack with a Santa Paula call the same afternoon. We work with junk boats and old vessels that nobody else wants to touch. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the California page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Santa Paula
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Santa Paula, from the initial haul to final disposal. Most jobs start around $250. Your boat might be sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked in a storage lot, or taking up a slip at a local marina. We bring the right equipment, load it safely, and tow it out. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Santa Paula sits on the same route we run through Somis and Camarillo, so scheduling is straightforward. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

3
Schedule the removal in Santa Paula
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
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.

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 Paula boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Santa Paula?
Cost in Santa Paula 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 Santa Paula?
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 Santa Paula?
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 Santa Paula?
Most Santa Paula 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 Santa Paula?
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.
