Dale's take on Sunrise

I've pulled sailboats out of Broward County backyards and storage lots where the mast came down years ago and never went back up. A retired couple in Sunrise bought a slip at a marina thinking they'd sail every weekend, but life got busier, fees kept climbing, and the boat turned into a thirty-thousand-dollar obligation they couldn't unload. The rigging corroded. The survey failed. The sale fell through. Another owner inherited a sailboat with a house in an estate settlement, no interest in sailing, and no idea how to legally dispose of it. That's the call we get.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish, and we cover the whole area,Sunrise, Tamarac, Plantation, all the same trip for us. We de-rig, tow, and handle the paperwork. Missing title, unclear ownership, abandoned storage lot,none of that stops the job. Details on how we work through the Florida sailboat disposal process live on the service page, but the short answer is this: you call, we quote, we show up, and the old boat leaves on our truck.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Sunrise

Sailboat disposal in Sunrise means we handle the entire vessel from removal through recycling. 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 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 deal with multiple vendors. Whether your boat sits in a storage lot, boatyard, or driveway in Sunrise, Lauderdale Lakes, or Lauderhill, the process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Sunrise

Checkmate Predictor removal Sunrise FL

18 ft Checkmate Predictor Removal in Sunrise, FL

An 18 ft Checkmate Predictor ski boat sat in a Broward County yard with go-fast paint turned chalky and an outboard seized solid. The single-axle trailer underneath had rusted through in spots, and the whole rig had been parked long enough that the tires had flat-spotted against the concrete pad. The owner had moved to Pompano Beach and couldn't justify the storage fee anymore, so he called us.

How sailboat disposal in Sunrise 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 Sunrise. 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 Sunrise

    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 Sunrise sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Sunrise?
Cost tracks length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard. The pricing section above shows the range. Lead keel scrap value gets credited off the number, and a firm quote comes back from photos.
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?
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 makes sense for a boat with survey value — a runnable diesel, sound decks, a rig that will not fail on inspection. Send photos and I will tell you which way yours leans; if the numbers work for a charity, I will say so first.
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 Sunrise?
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?
Years on stands is our most common call. Seized hardware, stained hulls, corroded rigging — none of that changes whether we take the job. The quote already assumes the boat has been sitting.
