I've pulled a lot of old boats out of Candler-McAfee backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want to deal with it. Others have been sitting there for years because the owner listed it one season, got no offers, and just gave up. A 24-foot cabin cruiser with a dead engine, a repair quote that costs more than the hull's worth, and nowhere left to turn. That's when the call comes in.
We handle the full tow from start to finish, whether it's a junk boat rotting on blocks or one that's been mothballed in a storage lot. A pickup in Panthersville often stacks with a Candler-McAfee call the same afternoon, so the crew moves between jobs efficiently. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Georgia page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Candler-McAfee
We handle every vessel removal situation Candler-McAfee produces: boats sitting on dead trailers in driveways, rigs stored in back lots, and the occasional slip rental that didn't work out. We show up with a heavy-duty trailer and the equipment to load safely, whether the boat's on blocks, flat tires, or already prepped. Jobs start around $250. From there, we haul to our yard or the processor depending on what we're working with. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The same route runs through Belvedere Park and Avondale Estates, so we know the roads and the tight spots. Once we've got it loaded and secured, you get a photo and a removal document. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

4
Crew handles the haul and dismantle
Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.

Destruction documentation
You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.
Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.
The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Georgia pricing section.
Common questions about Candler-McAfee boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Candler-McAfee?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in Candler-McAfee get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Candler-McAfee?
Free removal in Candler-McAfee depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Candler-McAfee?
Georgia titles boats. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Candler-McAfee pickup. The legal section on the Georgia page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Candler-McAfee?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Candler-McAfee?
Every kind that shows up in Candler-McAfee: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
