We pull a lot of old boats out of Leisure City backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want to deal with it. Others sat through a season or two listed for sale with no bites, and the owner got tired of the storage lot fees stacking up faster than any offer. A dead motor with a repair quote bigger than the hull's worth tends to end the conversation quick.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the junk boat start to finish. We load it, tow it, and handle the paperwork and title work so you don't have to. Jobs in Naranja often stack with a Leisure City call the same afternoon, which keeps things efficient on both ends. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Florida page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Leisure City
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Leisure City, from the moment we arrive until it's off your property and processed responsibly. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from driveways where a boat sits on a dead trailer, storage lots holding fiberglass hulls that haven't moved in years, or marina slips where a derelict takes up space. We bring a truck, proper straps, and the equipment to load safely without damaging what's around it. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Leisure City sits on the same route runs through Homestead Base and Princeton, so scheduling is straightforward and pickup windows are tight. The process steps below show how scheduling works.
Boat length, condition, location in Leisure City, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

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.
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 Leisure City boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Leisure City?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in Leisure City get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Leisure City?
Free removal in Leisure City depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Leisure City?
Florida titles boats. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Leisure City pickup. The legal section on the Florida page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Leisure City?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Leisure City?
Every kind that shows up in Leisure City: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
