Pricing

See how pricing works

In Florida a boat goes from weekend plan to yard problem in one season. I have taken the calls long enough to know how they start. The slip bill outgrew the boat. Hurricane season left a hull the insurance check does not fully cover. A parent's boat came with the estate, and you live three states away. The listing sat online for months while the marina kept charging. Getting rid of an old boat is harder than anyone expects until they try.

That is the job we built for. Junk boat removal from driveways, storage lots, marinas, and canals. One crew, pickup to disposal. Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. The legal side is covered below.

New: Hurricane & Storm Cleanup in Florida

Twenty years of hauling boats taught us how to clear a property fast. Now the same crews haul storm debris too: branches, fences, pool cages, flooded furniture, and yes, the boat the storm left in your yard. One call, one crew, gone the same week.

How much does boat removal cost?

Starting from

$250

Junk boat on a trailer that rolls, with room for the truck to reach it. From there, four things move the number.

I will tell you which ones apply to yours before we schedule anything.

Size and type

A 14-foot aluminum fishing boat is one job. A 30-foot cabin cruiser is a different one. Length, beam, and weight decide the crew and the equipment.

Where it sits

Driveway on a trailer is the cheapest boat removal there is. On blocks in the backyard takes more work. In a slip, it needs a haul-out. Sunken, it needs recovery.

Condition

Engine already out is cheaper. Fuel still aboard, a hull full of rainwater, a trailer that will not roll: each adds handling.

Distance

Miles to the processing yard are part of the quote. Boat hauling cost scales with them.

Not sure which factors apply to your boat?

Can it be free?

People ask about free junk boat removal. Sometimes the boat has enough going for it, a running outboard, decent aluminum, and we take it for nothing. Sometimes it does not, and there is a fee. We will tell you which one you have.

Our guarantee

The number is firm before the truck rolls.

Twenty years in, nobody has heard a different price at the curb.

Local read

What pricing looks like in Florida

When hurricane season rolls into Florida each fall, marina slips and canal pulls back up on my schedule fast. Spring cleanout adds a second rush earlier in the year, so the calendar here rarely sits quiet. Hauls to the yard tend to run short, since the coast keeps most jobs close by. I check the hull, whether it is still on a trailer, and what the storm or the years left behind. Every quote gets locked in before the truck ever rolls.

Junk boat pickup, salvage, and old boat removal

One boat, a whole yard, or an emergency. Old boat removal from a driveway or an estate. Junk boat pickup for the one that never sold. Marinas and boat yards call us to clear a season of abandoned slips in one visit. Insurance adjusters call after storms. My crew has floated sunken boats, hauled sailboats out of backyards, and moved a 40-footer through a neighborhood that was not built for it. One call covers removal, transport, and disposal. If it floats, floated, or was supposed to float, we haul it.

Getting rid of a boat legally in Florida

State legal briefFlorida

Reviewed August 25, 2026

Florida titles boats. Every motorized boat on public waters needs one, with exceptions for private lakes, government vessels, non-motorized boats under 16 feet, and federally documented vessels. Titling must happen within 30 days; missing that is a second-degree misdemeanor.

To hand a boat to us we need the endorsed title, filed within 30 days ($5.25, plus $10 if late); sellers should also file Form HSMV 82050 (Notice of Sale). Florida has no bonded title for boats. A duplicate title costs $6, or $11 expedited. For a found boat with no owner, Fla. Stat. Section 705.103 runs a process through law enforcement; FWC lists that investigation at $300 to $600, taking 45 to 120+ days.

Florida runs the strongest removal program we found. The FWC Derelict Vessel Removal Grant Program fully reimburses local governments, not individuals, from the Marine Resources Conservation Trust Fund. Florida also runs VTIP, a free, voluntary turn-in program before a boat becomes derelict.

If the boat is not yours. FWC's grant program pays for removal, fully, from the trust fund. The catch is who can apply: only local governments, not a private owner. Under Fla. Stat. Section 823.11(5), you can have a boat removed at the owner's expense once it has sat 60 days past notice, but that is a right to bill someone, not a free removal. Removal is the practical answer if you would rather not run that clock.

Skip the paperwork.We take Florida boats with or without titles. One call, one price.

Boat removal in Florida: what owners ask

How do I get rid of an old boat in Florida?

In Florida you can sell it, donate it, drop it at a salvage yard, or call a removal service to haul it away. Selling a marina or canal boat takes longer than most owners want. We load the unwanted boat and handle the rest.

How much does boat disposal cost in Florida?

Boat disposal cost in Florida depends on size, condition, where the boat sits, and distance to the yard, which is usually short here. The pricing section above breaks down how those factors add up, and hurricane-season pickups can shift things too.

Where can I dispose of a boat in Florida?

If the boat can travel, a salvage yard or recycler works, and if it cannot, a removal service handles the boat dump end to end. Florida landfills generally refuse hulls outright. A removal service is the option that actually takes it off your hands, canal or driveway.

Can I get free junk boat removal in Florida?

Free junk boat removal happens in Florida when the boat still has value, a running outboard or solid aluminum for example. Otherwise abandoned boat removal comes with a fee, and we tell you which applies before we schedule anything.

Are there boat salvage yards near me in Florida?

Yes, Florida has boat junkyards and salvage yards, but they take boats delivered on a trailer. Plenty of canal and hurricane-damaged boats can't make that trip on their own. That's where a removal service becomes the missing piece.

How do I dispose of a fiberglass boat in Florida?

Florida landfills generally turn away fiberglass hulls. It gets cut into sections and hauled to facilities built to process it, which is exactly the job boat removers do. Don't count on tackling that breakdown yourself, especially after storm damage.

Can you remove a boat without a title in Florida?

Florida titles boats, but a missing title does not stop a pickup on our end. We come get the boat either way. The legal section above lays out what it takes to sort the paperwork afterward.
