I've pulled boats out of Slidell backyards for years. Usually it's the same story. Someone inherited a house with a 22-foot center console still sitting on blocks, or an estate cleanout where the boat was the last thing left to deal with. Other times it's a slip bill that kept climbing, or the owner got a repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. Either way, they call us.
We handle the full job start to finish for an old boat in Slidell. That means title work, getting it loaded, and hauling it out responsibly. Jobs in Eden Isle often stack with a Slidell call, so we're in Slidell regularly. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Louisiana page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Slidell
We haul any vessel out of Slidell, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked at a storage lot, or tied up in a marina slip. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a heavy trailer, dollies, and straps rated for whatever size you've got. We disconnect the battery, secure the hull, and load it onto the truck. After that, boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Most Slidell pickups run the same route through Pearl River and Lacombe, so we can sometimes bundle them into one trip. The process steps below show how scheduling works.
Boat length, condition, location in Slidell, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

Crew handles the haul and dismantle
Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.

Destruction documentation
You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.
Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.
The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Louisiana pricing section.
Common questions about Slidell boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Slidell?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in Slidell get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Slidell?
Free removal in Slidell depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Slidell?
Louisiana treats titling as optional. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Slidell pickup. The legal section on the Louisiana page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Slidell?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Slidell?
Every kind that shows up in Slidell: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
