I get calls from people who bought a sailboat thinking they'd use it, then life happened. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Storage fees at the marina kept climbing while the boat sat idle, and selling it turned into a dead end. Someone dropped the price three times, got lowball offers, then nothing. Or the sailboat came with a house they inherited, and nobody in the family sails. The rigging's corroded, the survey failed, the restoration stalled at the deck core. Now it's just taking up slip space or sitting on stands in a storage lot, and the owner's done paying for something they don't use.
That's where we come in. Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal start to finish. We work across Cook County, including Lemont and Orland Park on the same trip if needed. We pull the mast, secure the rig, load it on the truck, and haul it out. Missing paperwork, no title, unclear ownership, a boat that hasn't been registered in years, a trailer sailer buried behind a garage since 2014. None of that stops the job. The specifics on how we handle the hull and where material goes are on the Illinois sailboat disposal page. Call us with the address and the rough size. We'll tell you what it costs and when we can come.
