I've pulled a lot of junk boats out of Fleming Island backyards. Some came with the house during an estate cleanout, and the new owner didn't want to inherit the problem. Others sat for years after the owner listed them one season and got no offers, then the slip bill kept climbing or the storage lot sent a notice. A few had dead motors with repair quotes that cost more than the hull was worth. That's usually when someone picks up the phone.
We tow the old boat out, handle all the title work and paperwork, and take it start to finish. Jobs in Lakeside often stack with a Fleming Island call, so we're already in Fleming Island when we schedule the pickup. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Florida page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Fleming Island
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Fleming Island, from the initial assessment through final disposal. Most calls come from driveways where a boat sits on a dead trailer, storage lots where space has run out, or marina slips that need to turn over. We bring a flatbed, proper tie-downs, and whatever equipment the situation calls for. Jobs start around $250. Once we load it, the boat goes to our yard or the processor, depending on what's salvageable. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We cover the same route through Orange Park and Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, so if you're in those areas, the logistics work the same way. 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.
5
Destruction documentation
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.
The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Florida pricing section.
Common questions about Fleming Island boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Fleming Island?
Cost in Fleming Island 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 Fleming Island?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Fleming Island?
Florida titles boats. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Florida page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Fleming Island?
Most Fleming Island 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?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
We take the trailer whenever you want it gone, which is almost always. Rotted tires and seized hubs are normal. The boat gets winched, the trailer gets loaded, the driveway gets empty.
What kinds of boats do you take in Fleming Island?
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.
