Dale's take on Skokie

I've pulled junk boats out of Skokie backyards for years. Most of the time it's an old boat that came with the house during an estate cleanout, sitting there while the new owners figure out what to do with it. Other times someone listed it a season or two, got no offers, and now the storage lot bill is more than the boat's worth. Either way, it's been there long enough that nobody wants to look at it anymore.

We tow it out start to finish. Jobs in Skokie often stack with a pickup in Lincolnwood the same afternoon, so the crew handles both without extra hassle. Whether the vessel's got a clean title or the paperwork's been lost for years, missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Illinois page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Skokie

We handle any vessel removal in Skokie, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked at a storage lot, or taking up space in a marina slip. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a heavy-duty trailer, winch equipment, and whatever rigging the boat needs to come out safely. Most pickups in Skokie fall into one of those three situations, and we've handled all of them. After we load it, the boat goes to our yard or the processor depending on what condition it's in and whether any parts are salvageable. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We also cover the same route runs through Wilmette and Evanston, so if you're in any of those towns, the logistics are identical. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Skokie

Glastron Swinger removal Skokie IL

Hauling a runabout out of a Skokie driveway

A 16 ft Glastron Swinger sat in a Cook County driveway for years, its original orange metal-flake hull dulled to grey. The trailer underneath had a bent single axle, and the whole rig had settled into the concrete like it planned to stay. The owner had bought it thinking he'd take it out on weekends.

Common questions about Skokie boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Skokie?
Cost in Skokie starts where the pricing above starts, and the boat itself sets the rest: size, where it sits, condition, and the haul. Send photos and the ZIP, the number you get is the number you pay.
Is boat removal ever free in Skokie?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Skokie?
Illinois DNR, not the Secretary of State, handles boating. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Illinois page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Skokie?
Most Skokie jobs are scheduled within a couple of days. The window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out. Rush jobs depend on the route, call early.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
We take the trailer whenever you want it gone, which is almost always. Rotted tires and seized hubs are normal. The boat gets winched, the trailer gets loaded, the driveway gets empty.
What kinds of boats do you take in Skokie?
Any of them. Fiberglass cruisers, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, jet skis. No engine, flat tires, full of leaves and rainwater, still yes. If it was supposed to float, we haul it.
