Dale's take on Fort Myers

The mast came down one fall and never went back up. The rigging corroded. The slip fees kept coming anyway, month after month, at a marina in Lee County where the boat wasn't going anywhere. Or it's the other way around: someone inherited a house on the water in North Fort Myers, sailboat included, and nobody in the family sails. The survey failed. The sale fell through. Now there's an old sailboat taking up space and money, and the owner's done waiting.

We handle sailboat disposal in Fort Myers and the surrounding area, including North Fort Myers and Lochmoor Waterway Estates, from start to finish. The crew pulls the rig, secures everything for tow, and moves it out whether it's sitting on a trailer, in dry storage, or taking up a slip. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. Details on how the disposal works are on the Florida sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Fort Myers

Sailboat disposal in Fort Myers means we handle the full breakdown. The mast comes down, standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged, and the keel comes out at our yard with its scrap value credited against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut and routed to the processor. For boats in the water, we run the haul-out and handle the marina conversation so you don't have to manage vendors. We've pulled sailboats from slips in Fort Myers, from storage lots in Palmona Park, and from driveways in Page Park. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Fort Myers

Galaxy 2000 removal Fort Myers FL

Hauling a bowrider out of a Fort Myers salvage job

A 20 ft Galaxy 2000 bowrider sat in a Fort Myers yard, half-stripped by a previous owner who'd run out of ambition three years back. The fiberglass hull was weathered, the interior gutted, and there was no trailer underneath it. The boat had settled into the dirt, and the owner had settled into not looking at it anymore.

How sailboat disposal in Fort Myers works

  1. 1

    Send photos, rig status, and the pickup ZIP

    Length, keel type, whether the mast is up or already down, and access notes for the yard or slip in Fort Myers. Photos of the rig and any winches or hardware set the number.

  2. 2

    Get a firm quote back the same day

    One number covers rig-down through disposal. Keel scrap value is credited off the total up front, not owed back after.

  3. 3

    Schedule pickup and marina coordination in Fort Myers

    If the boat is in a slip we run the marina office and the crane call. On stands or on a trailer we set a date and window; the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Rig-down and load

    Mast unstepped, standing rigging cut or salvaged, spreaders and boom stacked and strapped. Usable sails, winches, and hardware come off before the hull leaves.

  5. 5

    Keel out, hull processed, documentation

    The keel is unbolted or cut at our yard, weighed, and sold to the metal recycler; the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to a processor. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record.

    Metal keel, rigging, winches, and salvageable hardware are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard move it from there. Lead keel scrap value is credited off — details on the Florida sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Fort Myers sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Fort Myers?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Fort Myers. Whatever the keel weighs in lead comes off the price up front.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Slip-out pickups are one of the most common calls. Crane time, marina paperwork, and the mast conversation happen on our side. You approve the schedule and we handle the rest.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Yes. Lead recovers more per pound at scrap than iron, and the value gets credited against the price. We confirm keel type from photos before we quote because it moves the number more than almost anything else.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
If a charity can resell your boat, donation is the best deal going. Boats that sat neglected for years usually will not pass survey. Send photos and I will tell you which side of that line yours falls on.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
The mast comes down at the boat or at our yard, then metal recycling handles the rigging. Sails and hardware in decent shape come off first and are spoken for before the hull is cut.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Fort Myers?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What Florida requires for the paperwork side lives on the Florida boat-removal page, in the legal section. We handle what we can from our end.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
Time on stands does not stop the pickup. Rot, missing bottom paint, stuck through-hulls — every one of those is normal for a boat like that. The quote factors it in.
