Dale's take on Kendall West

I get calls from people who bought a sailboat thinking they'd use it. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Slip fees kept climbing, storage lot rent outran any joy from owning it, and the rigging sat idle long enough that nobody even looked at it anymore. Sometimes it's an old sailboat that came with a house purchase in Miami-Dade County, and the new owners don't sail. Sometimes the survey failed, the sale fell through, and now there's just a boat taking up space and money.

Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal start to finish in Kendall West and the surrounding area, same trip covering Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks. We come out, assess the rig and hull, handle the tow, and move the old boat out. Missing title, unclear ownership, or paperwork questions don't stop the job. The details on what happens next live on the Florida sailboat disposal page, but the first step is always the same: one call, and we take it from there.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Kendall West

Sailboat disposal in Kendall West means we handle the full breakdown of your vessel from start to finish. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware get spoken for before the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a storage lot, on a driveway, or at a boatyard, we manage the haul-out and any marina conversation you need. We also work The Crossings and Tamiami when boats are stored there. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Kendall West 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 West. 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 West

    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 West sailboat disposal

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