Dale's take on Miami

I've pulled sailboats out of Miami-Dade County backyards and slips for over twenty years. The stories are usually the same. Someone bought a 32-foot sloop fifteen years ago, dropped the mast one fall for repair, and never got around to stepping it again. Now it's taking up slip fees at a marina on the bay, and every month the bill reminds them. Or they inherited a house with a 28-foot sailboat that came with the property, the rigging is frozen, and nobody in the family sails. The survey failed. The sale fell through. The boat sits.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish across Miami and into Fisher Island and Miami Beach on the same trip. The crew comes in, secures the rig, loads the old sailboat onto the trailer, and tows it out. Missing paperwork, no title, abandoned in a storage lot or dry storage,none of that stops the job. Full details on how we manage the haul are on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Miami

Sailboat disposal in Miami means we handle the full breakdown. The mast comes down and standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value 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 manage the marina conversation so you don't have to juggle vendors. Whether your sailboat is sitting in a storage lot, on a driveway, or at a boatyard in Brownsville or Gladeview, the process is the same. The steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Miami

Thompson 21 removal Miami FL

Hauling a cuddy cabin out of a Miami pickup

This 21 ft Thompson 21 cuddy cabin sat with its outdrive pulled and never put back, the gap in the transom left open to the weather for so long the fiberglass around it had started to stain and soften. Whoever pulled that outdrive probably meant to get back to it. They didn't, and the boat just stayed put on a single axle trailer that had bent under the weight over time, tilting the whole rig a few degrees off level.

How sailboat disposal in Miami 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 Miami. 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 Miami

    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 Miami sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Miami?
Length and keel type set most of it. Lead scrap value credits back against the number. Send photos of the boat and the rig and the quote comes back the same day, firm.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes. We run the haul-out, coordinate the crane if the mast needs pulling first, and handle the marina office. You do not manage three vendors to lose one sailboat.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Lead keels carry real scrap value, and that value comes off your price up front. Iron brings less. Photos of the keel and the boat get us to the right number before we schedule.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation works when the boat still has resale value. A stalled restoration or a stripped hull almost never qualifies. Send photos and I will tell you honestly which route makes sense.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
Mast comes down first, standing rigging is cut or salvaged, and the metal goes to recycling. Usable sails, winches, and cleats get pulled and credited back when they are worth pulling. Nothing marketable goes to the landfill.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Miami?
Titling questions belong on the Florida boat-removal page's legal section. On our side, missing paperwork does not stop the job — proof of disposal comes back to you when the work is done.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
A boat on stands for a decade is exactly what this service is for. Nothing about the condition surprises the crew. The quote is built for boats that need the work we are already doing.
