Castro Valley, CA: 23 ft Chris-Craft Cavalier Gone in One Morning

A 23 ft Chris-Craft Cavalier sat in a Castro Valley driveway for years, cabin cruiser with decades of barn dust worked into the fiberglass and a cracked keel strip running the length of the hull. The owner had inherited it from a relative, kept meaning to list it, and eventually stopped thinking about it altogether. No trailer. Just the boat, parked on blocks behind the house in Alameda County. When we got the call, the first problem was access. The driveway was narrow, lined with mature oaks, and the boat sat far enough back that we couldn't get a direct angle with the crane truck. We brought in a smaller rig first to clear sight lines, then repositioned for the lift. The fiberglass had softened in places from moisture, so we rigged it carefully to avoid putting too much load on any single point. Once it was on the flatbed, we routed it through Hayward and south to the processor. Most of the morning, start to finish. The hull got cut down for recycling. Fiberglass goes back into the material stream when it's done right, and the aluminum fittings came off clean. No title needed tracking down. Just a boat that was taking up space, and now it wasn't. We cover all of Alameda County: Oakland, Fremont, Hayward, Berkeley, San Leandro, Livermore. Castro Valley sits right in the middle of our regular routes, so same-week pickups are the norm. A lot of boat owners in Castro Valley move rigs in and out of storage yards when the season changes, and we handle those transitions constantly. Call us with your address and boat size, and we'll give you a day that works.
