I get calls from two kinds of people in Skokie. First, the owner who bought a sailboat years ago, dropped the asking price twice, and now it's sitting in a storage lot or behind the garage with the mast down and the rigging seized. The slip fees kept coming. The restoration stalled. Nobody's sailing it. Second, the executor of an estate where the sailboat came with the lake house or the property nobody in the family uses. Both situations are the same. The boat won't sell, the holding costs don't stop, and the owner needs it gone.
We handle sailboat disposal from start to finish across Skokie and into Lincolnwood and Wilmette on the same run. The crew comes out, assesses the old boat, handles the rig-down and tow, and manages all the paperwork. Missing title, unclear documentation, lien questions, survey records that went missing years ago,none of that stops the job. Details on how we handle the full process are on the Illinois sailboat disposal page.
