Dale's take on Laplace

A lot of people in St. John the Baptist Parish end up with an old sailboat they never planned to keep. Maybe the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Maybe slip fees at the marina kept climbing while the rig sat idle, and one day the numbers just didn't make sense anymore. Or the boat came with a house purchase, or a lake property, and nobody in the family actually sails. A survey fails, a restoration stalls at the deck core, the sale falls through, and suddenly you're looking at years of storage costs for a boat that won't move.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish in Laplace, Reserve, and Edgard, taking the rig down, loading the old boat, and towing it out so you're done with the slip fees, the storage lot, and the thing sitting behind the garage. Missing title paperwork, a lien you're not sure about, or a rig that's corroded into place doesn't stop the job. Details on what happens next are on the sailboat disposal page, but the first step is the same: call us, tell us what you've got, and we'll tell you what it costs.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Laplace

Sailboat disposal in Laplace means we handle the entire breakdown at our yard or yours. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel out, and its scrap value credits toward your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware get spoken for before the fiberglass hull is cut and routed to the processor. For vessels in the water at a marina, boatyard, or storage lot, we run the haul-out and manage the marina conversation so you don't have to deal with vendors. We also cover pickups from Garyville and Wallace. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Laplace 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 Laplace. 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 Laplace

    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 Laplace sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Laplace?
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 Laplace?
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.
