I get calls from Dublin sailboat owners who've hit a wall. One guy had a 26-foot sloop with the mast down since October. He'd meant to step it back, but the rigging corroded, the survey failed, and the buyer walked. Another owned a slip at a local marina, and the annual fees climbed past what the boat was worth. She listed it for a year. No real offers. Just tire kickers and people who wanted her to knock off another ten grand. There's the estate situation too, where the house sold but the old sailboat didn't, and now someone else's problem is sitting in dry storage in Alameda County while probate crawls.
We handle sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew pulls from Dublin, Pleasanton, and Fairview on the same trip, which keeps the cost down. We rig down, load it on the trailer, and tow it out. You don't need a clean title or perfect paperwork to call us. Missing documentation doesn't stop the job. Details on how we handle the old boat and what happens next are on the California sailboat disposal page.
