I get calls from people who bought a sailboat thinking they'd use it, then life happened. The mast came down one fall in someone's Cupertino backyard and never went back up. Now it's been five years, the rigging's corroded, and every conversation with a potential buyer ends the same way. I also hear from folks whose slip fees in Santa Clara County kept climbing while the boat sat half-finished, or from an estate executor who inherited a sailboat nobody in the family sails. Storage lot fees, marina costs, a failed survey that killed a sale,these are the reasons people call.
We handle sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew works Cupertino, Sunnyvale, and Saratoga on the same run, pulling the old sailboat from dry storage, a slip, or behind a garage. We rig it down, load it, and tow it out. Missing paperwork, no title, unclear ownership,none of that stops the job. Details on how we move it and what happens next are on the sailboat disposal page.
