Dale's take on Clovis

I get calls from people in Clovis who bought a sailboat fifteen years ago and the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Or they moved to Fresno County with a slip that cost more every year, and the rig hadn't been rigged in so long they stopped counting. Sometimes it's an old sailboat that came with a lake house nobody in the family sails anymore, sitting in dry storage while the fees pile up. Sometimes a survey killed the sale, the buyer walked, and now there's just a hull and a question mark.

We handle sailboat disposal from start to finish across Clovis and the surrounding area, same trip takes us out to Tarpey Village and Sunnyside. The crew comes out, assesses what you've got, gets the rig down if it's still standing, and tows the old boat out. Missing paperwork, no title, no registration, no problem. Full details on how we move it and where it goes live on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Clovis

Sailboat disposal in Clovis means we handle the whole vessel from start to finish. The mast comes down and standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged. We haul the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut down and routed to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a storage lot, on a driveway, or at a boatyard, we manage the haul-out and any marina conversations you need. Owners in Fort Washington and Mayfair work the same way. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Clovis works

  1. 1

    Send photos, rig status, and the pickup ZIP

    Length, keel type, whether the mast is up or already down, and access notes for the yard or slip in Clovis. Photos of the rig and any winches or hardware set the number.

  2. 2

    Get a firm quote back the same day

    One number covers rig-down through disposal. Keel scrap value is credited off the total up front, not owed back after.

  3. 3

    Schedule pickup and marina coordination in Clovis

    If the boat is in a slip we run the marina office and the crane call. On stands or on a trailer we set a date and window; the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Rig-down and load

    Mast unstepped, standing rigging cut or salvaged, spreaders and boom stacked and strapped. Usable sails, winches, and hardware come off before the hull leaves.

  5. 5

    Keel out, hull processed, documentation

    The keel is unbolted or cut at our yard, weighed, and sold to the metal recycler; the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to a processor. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record.

    Metal keel, rigging, winches, and salvageable hardware are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard move it from there. Lead keel scrap value is credited off — details on the California sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Clovis sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Clovis?
Length and keel type set most of it. Lead scrap value credits back against the number. Send photos of the boat and the rig and the quote comes back the same day, firm.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes. We run the haul-out, coordinate the crane if the mast needs pulling first, and handle the marina office. You do not manage three vendors to lose one sailboat.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Lead keels carry real scrap value, and that value comes off your price up front. Iron brings less. Photos of the keel and the boat get us to the right number before we schedule.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation works when the boat still has resale value. A stalled restoration or a stripped hull almost never qualifies. Send photos and I will tell you honestly which route makes sense.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
Mast comes down first, standing rigging is cut or salvaged, and the metal goes to recycling. Usable sails, winches, and cleats get pulled and credited back when they are worth pulling. Nothing marketable goes to the landfill.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Clovis?
Titling questions belong on the California boat-removal page's legal section. On our side, missing paperwork does not stop the job — proof of disposal comes back to you when the work is done.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
A boat on stands for a decade is exactly what this service is for. Nothing about the condition surprises the crew. The quote is built for boats that need the work we are already doing.
