Dale's take on Harvey

I get calls from people in Harvey who bought a sailboat years ago and figured they'd sail it. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Storage fees kept climbing. Life moved on. Then there's the estate where nobody in the family sails, the sailboat sitting in dry storage taking up slip space month after month. Or the survey that killed the sale, the rigging issues that made buyers walk, the restoration that stalled at the deck core. An old sailboat that won't move becomes a problem nobody wants to solve.

We handle sailboat disposal from Harvey through Marrero and Gretna, the full job start to finish. Rig down, load it, tow it out. We work the title paperwork, handle the marina or storage lot release, sort out whatever's missing or confused on the Louisiana sailboat disposal side. Missing paperwork doesn't stop us. Call us with the address and what you've got, and we'll tell you what it costs and when we can come.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Harvey

Sailboat disposal in Harvey means we handle the full breakdown. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We haul the keel out at our yard, and its scrap value gets credited against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut and routed to the processor. For pickups from a marina, boatyard, or storage lot, we run the haul-out and manage the conversation with the facility. You don't coordinate vendors or paperwork. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Harvey works

  1. 1

    Send photos, rig status, and the pickup ZIP

    Length, keel type, whether the mast is up or already down, and access notes for the yard or slip in Harvey. Photos of the rig and any winches or hardware set the number.

  2. 2

    Get a firm quote back the same day

    One number covers rig-down through disposal. Keel scrap value is credited off the total up front, not owed back after.

  3. 3

    Schedule pickup and marina coordination in Harvey

    If the boat is in a slip we run the marina office and the crane call. On stands or on a trailer we set a date and window; the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Rig-down and load

    Mast unstepped, standing rigging cut or salvaged, spreaders and boom stacked and strapped. Usable sails, winches, and hardware come off before the hull leaves.

  5. 5

    Keel out, hull processed, documentation

    The keel is unbolted or cut at our yard, weighed, and sold to the metal recycler; the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to a processor. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record.

    Metal keel, rigging, winches, and salvageable hardware are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard move it from there. Lead keel scrap value is credited off — details on the Louisiana sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Harvey sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Harvey?
Cost tracks length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard. The pricing section above shows the range. Lead keel scrap value gets credited off the number, and a firm quote comes back from photos.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Slip-out pickups are one of the most common calls. Crane time, marina paperwork, and the mast conversation happen on our side. You approve the schedule and we handle the rest.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Lead keels carry real scrap value, and that value comes off your price up front. Iron brings less. Photos of the keel and the boat get us to the right number before we schedule.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation makes sense for a boat with survey value — a runnable diesel, sound decks, a rig that will not fail on inspection. Send photos and I will tell you which way yours leans; if the numbers work for a charity, I will say so first.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
The mast comes down at the boat or at our yard, then metal recycling handles the rigging. Sails and hardware in decent shape come off first and are spoken for before the hull is cut.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Harvey?
Titling questions belong on the Louisiana boat-removal page's legal section. On our side, missing paperwork does not stop the job — proof of disposal comes back to you when the work is done.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
Years on stands is our most common call. Seized hardware, stained hulls, corroded rigging — none of that changes whether we take the job. The quote already assumes the boat has been sitting.
