Dale's take on Alpharetta

I get calls from Alpharetta homeowners who bought a sailboat years ago and now can't sell it. One guy had a 27-foot Catalina sitting in dry storage in Fulton County. The mast came down one fall during a windstorm, and he never put it back up. Insurance got expensive. Slip fees kept climbing. He'd lowered the price three times and got nothing but tire kickers. His wife wanted the driveway back. That's how most of these start. Another situation I see in this area: somebody inherits a sailboat with a lake house or picks one up as part of an estate, but nobody in the family sails. The rigging sits unused. The survey fails. The sale falls through. The boat just takes up space and money.

When you call Hansons Boat Removal, we handle your sailboat from start to finish. We work Alpharetta, Milton, and Johns Creek on the same run. We drop the mast, secure the rigging, get it on the trailer, and tow it out. Missing paperwork, no title, unclear ownership, survey issues, whatever you're stuck with,none of that stops the job. Full details on how we handle sailboat disposal are on the service page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Alpharetta

Sailboat disposal in Alpharetta means we handle the whole boat from start to finish. 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 down and routed to the processor. For pickups from a boatyard, storage lot, or driveway, we run the haul-out and manage any marina conversation. You don't deal with vendors. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Alpharetta

Regal 2000 removal Alpharetta GA

Alpharetta, GA: 20 ft Regal Gone in One Morning

A 20 ft Regal 2000 bowrider had been parked in a Fulton County driveway for three years. The upholstery was gutted by mice, the dash was stripped, and both trailer tires were flat. The owner had stopped looking at it the way you stop looking at furniture you've lived around too long.

How sailboat disposal in Alpharetta 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 Alpharetta. 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 Alpharetta

    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 Georgia sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Alpharetta sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Alpharetta?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Alpharetta. 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 Alpharetta?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What Georgia requires for the paperwork side lives on the Georgia 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.
