I get calls from Burbank homeowners who've owned a sailboat for years and can't move it. One guy had a 26-footer sitting in dry storage on the south side. The mast came down one fall during a rough haul-out, and it never went back up. He listed it, dropped the price twice, got nothing but lowball offers. Another owner inherited a house with a lake cabin up north, sailboat included. She didn't sail, had no plans to learn, and the slip fees kept hitting her account every month. Both situations end the same way: you stop looking at the listing and call someone who can actually make it gone.
Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal from start to finish across Burbank and into Bridgeview and Oak Lawn on the same trip. We rig down, load the hull, tow it out, and handle the paperwork. Missing title, unclear ownership, old registration, storage lot contracts that won't release it without a signature from someone you can't find. None of that stops the job. Details on how we move an old sailboat and where it goes are on the sailboat disposal page.
