Dale's take on Kendall

I've pulled sailboats out of Miami-Dade County backyards and storage lots where the mast came down one fall and never went back up. A 32-footer on blocks behind a Kendall garage for a decade, the rigging seized, the survey failed before the sale could close. Another sat in a slip where the fees kept climbing and the owner stopped visiting. The boat was fine once. Now it's just an anchor on the bank account.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish across Kendall, Pinecrest, and Glenvar Heights. We come, we rig it down, we tow it out, and you're done. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. Details on what happens next, the full breakdown of how we handle an old sailboat from slip or storage lot to the end, that's on the Florida sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Kendall

Sailboat disposal in Kendall means we handle the full breakdown on your timeline. The mast comes down, standing rigging gets cut or salvaged, and we haul the keel out at our yard,its scrap value credits toward your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware get spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. For boats sitting in a boatyard, on stands, or in your driveway, we manage the whole job. In-water pickups mean we run the haul-out and handle the marina conversation so you don't have to coordinate with vendors. The same process works whether your sailboat is in Kendall, South Miami, or Sunset. See the steps below to learn how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Kendall 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 Kendall. 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 Kendall

    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 Kendall sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Kendall?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Kendall. 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 Kendall?
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.
