I've pulled boats out of Florida Ridge backyards for years. Most calls come the same way: someone inherited a house with an old boat parked behind it, or an estate cleanout landed one on their property and now it's their problem. Other times it's simpler, a junk boat that sat in storage, the slip fees kept climbing, and the owner finally decided to stop throwing money at something they weren't using.
We handle the whole thing start to finish. The crew loads it, tows it out, and manages the paperwork and title work. We've got jobs in South Beach that stack with a Florida Ridge call the same afternoon. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Florida page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Florida Ridge
Boat removal in Florida Ridge includes the full haul-out, title work, transport, and disposal of any vessel you no longer want. Jobs start around $250. We pull boats from driveways sitting on dead trailers, storage lots where they've been collecting dust, and marina slips if you're near the water. The crew shows up with a flatbed, hydraulic lift, and straps. We secure the hull, load it, and take it off your property. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. For jobs in Florida Ridge, the same route runs through Vero Beach South and Vero Beach, so scheduling is straightforward. 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.

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.

Common questions about Florida Ridge boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Florida Ridge?
Cost in Florida Ridge 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 Florida Ridge?
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 Florida Ridge?
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 Florida Ridge?
Most Florida Ridge 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 Florida Ridge?
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.
