Dale's take on The Hammocks

I get calls from people in The Hammocks who bought a sailboat thinking they'd use it, then didn't. Sometimes the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Sometimes slip fees at a Miami-Dade County marina climbed faster than the boat's value, and storage lot costs ate the rest. I've pulled old sailboats out of driveways where they arrived with a house purchase, rigging corroded and keel cracked after years of sitting. A survey killed a sale, or the cabin core started rotting mid-restoration and the owner walked away.

Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal start to finish in The Hammocks and the same trip covers Kendall West and Country Walk. We disconnect the rig, drop the mast if it's still standing, secure everything for tow, and haul the old boat out. Missing paperwork, no title, no registration, lien on the hull,none of that stops the job. Details on the full process and what happens next are on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in The Hammocks

Sailboat disposal in The Hammocks means we handle the entire breakdown on your property or at the marina. The mast comes down first, standing rigging is cut away or salvaged for value. We haul the vessel to our yard, where the keel comes out and its scrap value credits against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware get spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a boatyard, storage lot, or driveway, we run the whole job. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in The Hammocks 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 The Hammocks. 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 The Hammocks

    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 The Hammocks sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in The Hammocks?
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 The Hammocks?
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.
