We pull old boats out of Windsor backyards all the time. Some came with the house during an estate cleanout, and the new owner never wanted them. Others sat through a season with no buyers, and the slip bill kept climbing. One call, we tow it out, and you're done with it.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the junk boat start to finish in Windsor and jobs in Fulton often stack with a Windsor call the same afternoon. We load it, we move it, we handle the title paperwork and vessel disposal. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the California page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Windsor
We handle the full job in Windsor: we pull your vessel off a driveway, out of a storage lot, or from a marina slip, load it onto our trailer, and haul it gone. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from people with a boat sitting on dead trailer tires in the yard, or one tucked into a storage facility they're done paying for. We bring the truck, the lifting gear, and the paperwork to transfer title. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We cover Windsor and the same route runs through Larkfield-Wikiup and Healdsburg. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

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.

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 Windsor boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Windsor?
Cost in Windsor 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 Windsor?
Free removal in Windsor depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Windsor?
Yes. California titles boats. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Windsor. What we need from you is on the California page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Windsor?
Most Windsor 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?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out 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 Windsor?
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.
