Hurricane Boat Removal in Vero Beach South, Florida
Storm-damaged boats picked up, photographed for your insurance file, and gone. One number, one visit.
Hurricane boat removal in Vero Beach South starts at $250 and covers pickup, transport, and disposal of storm-damaged boats in one visit.
This week a sailboat that sat on a hoist for years landed on the seawall instead, keel scraping concrete, mast tilted. Down the lane, a pool cage came to rest across a runabout's cockpit, screens draped over the windshield.
I have the crew photograph each hull before a single cut is made, because insurance asks for that set. Then we tow it clear. Florida Ridge and Sebastian are on the same run. A boat the storm moved is still somebody's paperwork, details on the Florida hurricane boat removal page.
Storm-damaged boat removal and disposal: types of boats we take
We specialize in the removal and disposal of unwanted and abandoned boats, and after a hurricane that means boats wherever the wind left them. Off collapsed lifts and seawalls, out from under fallen trees and carports, off trailers flipped with the boat still strapped down, and out of yards they do not belong in, including yards that are not yours. All types of boats and watercrafts: fiberglass hulls, aluminum, pontoons, sailboats. If the boat went under at the dock or the marina, that is its own trade: sunken boat recovery runs the lift bags and pumps. Everything that stayed on dry land loads onto our flatbed trailer and leaves whole.
The insurance file comes first
Nothing moves until it is photographed. Hull, damage, where the storm put it, how it sat: the full set goes to you before the boat leaves, because your adjuster will ask, and the answer should already be in your phone. We document, your adjuster decides. Once the boat is gone you get written proof of it, which closes the claim and the title question in one envelope. Title and DMV paperwork questions for a boat the storm moved are covered on the Florida hurricane page.
The boat removal process after a hurricane in Vero Beach South
Send photos and the ZIP
Photos of the boat where the storm left it in Vero Beach South, anything blocking access, and whether it is yours or just on your property. Do not move it first; the photos matter for the claim.
Get a same-day number
One price covering pickup, transport, and safe disposal. Storm weeks run on a queue, and the number does not change while you wait your turn. No storm surcharge, ever.
Schedule the pickup
Scheduling the appointment takes one call: the window is confirmed as crews clear the zone, and the crew calls an hour out.
Crew pickup, documented
The crew photographs everything, then winches, lifts, or tows the boat out of Vero Beach South the way the access allows. You get the full photo set the same day.
Paperwork closed
Proof of disposal for the claim file. Title missing or soaked: it does not stop the pickup, the Florida page covers what happens next.
The starting price at the top of this page is real, storm or no storm. Size, where the boat ended up, and access set the rest. The full breakdown is on the Florida hurricane boat removal page.
Fuel, oil, and other hazardous materials are pumped out before anything is cut, and we recycle what the storm left usable: metals and hardware go to recycling, trailers that survived get a second life, and hulls we cannot recycle get dismantled responsibly at our yard according to environmental rules, with every pound of metal recycled. We dispose of what cannot be saved and recycle the rest, every job. Eco-friendly work is not a storm-season exception here, it is how this boat removal service runs every week of the year.
Common questions about Vero Beach South hurricane boat removal
Same-day quote, pickup in queue order. After a storm every crew we have is in the field, and Vero Beach South jobs get slotted as routes open. If the boat is a hazard where it sits, say so up front and it gets priority.
Often, and we never promise it. Coverage is between your policy and your adjuster. What we control is the file: photos before anything moves, photos at the load, closing proof at the end. Adjusters close claims faster when the documentation is already complete.
It happens after every hurricane, and the answer starts with photos, not a chainsaw. Ownership survives the storm, so there are steps before anyone hauls it. The Florida page lays them out, and once the paperwork side is set, the pickup itself is a normal job.
Storm pricing is regular pricing here. The quote builds from the boat's size and how hard it is to get out of where it landed. One firm number from photos, no revisions at the curb, no storm surcharge.
Close, but it is its own trade. Anything still on land or hanging off a lift is this page. Anything taking on water or on the bottom runs through sunken boat recovery, with pumps and lift bags instead of a winch. Same company, one call covers both.
Donation works for boats a buyer would still pay for, and a hull the storm cracked rarely passes that survey. If yours does, we say so from the photos and you should take that road. For the rest, professional junk boat removal with the claim file handled is the cleaner way to get rid of your old boat.
You can be anywhere. The crew documents the pickup end to end, you get the photos in real time, and the paperwork finishes electronically. What we need from you is access and a phone that answers.
