We pull a lot of old boats out of Sebastian backyards. Some came with the house during an estate cleanout, and the new owner didn't want them. Others sat through a season with no buyers, and the slip bill kept climbing. One guy had a dead motor with a repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. He called us instead. We show up, load it, and it's gone by the end of the day.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the whole job from start to finish. We tow the junk boat out, handle the title paperwork, and move it to the right facility. Jobs in Roseland often stack with a Sebastian call the same afternoon, so we cover both at once. Missing paperwork does not stop the work. Details on the Florida page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Sebastian
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Sebastian, Florida, no matter where it's sitting or what condition it's in. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from boats abandoned on driveways with dead trailers, stored in yards on blocks, or taking up marina slips along the Indian River. We bring a flatbed, a crane if needed, and the right straps and rigging to load safely without damaging neighboring property. Once the boat is off your land, it goes to our yard or the processor for dismantling. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We cover pickups across Indian River County, and the same route runs through Windsor and Orchid, so if you're anywhere in that corridor, scheduling is straightforward. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

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.

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 Sebastian boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Sebastian?
Cost in Sebastian 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 Sebastian?
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 Sebastian?
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 Sebastian?
Most Sebastian 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 Sebastian?
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.
