Dale's take on Kenner

I get calls from two kinds of people in Kenner. First, the owner who bought a sailboat years ago with plans to sail it, but the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Storage lot fees kept climbing. The slip rent in Jefferson Parish marinas ate into the budget. One day they realized they're paying to store a boat they haven't touched in a decade. Second call comes from an estate where a house and a sailboat came as a package deal, but nobody in the family sails. The rigging's corroded. The survey that might've unlocked a sale came back with problems that would cost more to fix than the boat's worth. Both situations end the same way: the boat's still there, and it needs to go.

That's where we come in. Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal start to finish in Kenner, River Ridge, and Elmwood. We rig it down, load it, and tow it out. You don't need a clean title or all the paperwork in order. We handle that separately. Details on how the whole process works are on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Kenner

Sailboat disposal in Kenner means we handle the full breakdown of your vessel from start to finish. The mast comes down and standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut down and routed to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a driveway, storage lot, or boatyard, we manage the haul-out and the marina conversation if it's in the water. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Kenner 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 Kenner. 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 Kenner

    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 Kenner sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Kenner?
Length and keel type set most of it. Lead scrap value credits back against the number. Send photos of the boat and the rig and the quote comes back the same day, firm.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes — slip pickups are routine. We call the marina, book the crane, and pull the mast on the ramp if that is where it makes sense. One point of contact all the way through.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Yes. Lead recovers more per pound at scrap than iron, and the value gets credited against the price. We confirm keel type from photos before we quote because it moves the number more than almost anything else.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation works when the boat still has resale value. A stalled restoration or a stripped hull almost never qualifies. Send photos and I will tell you honestly which route makes sense.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
We unstep the mast, coil or salvage the standing rigging, and pull winches, cleats, and any usable sails before the hull leaves. Metals get recycled and sails get sold or donated when they are still good.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Kenner?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What Louisiana requires for the paperwork side lives on the Louisiana boat-removal page, in the legal section. We handle what we can from our end.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
A boat on stands for a decade is exactly what this service is for. Nothing about the condition surprises the crew. The quote is built for boats that need the work we are already doing.
