Dale's take on Marrero

I get calls from people in Marrero who thought they'd sail more. A couple years back, a mast came down in a storm, and the rigging never went back up. The boat sat in dry storage while the owner paid the slip fees and told himself he'd fix it next season. That next season never came. Then there's the estate executor who inherited a sailboat from a relative, no family sailors in the picture, and now it's just a liability. Or the boat that failed survey, the sale fell through, and the buyer walked. The owner's left holding a fiberglass hull that won't move and costs money to keep where it is.

Hansons Boat Removal handles sailboat disposal start to finish in Marrero and the surrounding area, including Harvey and Westwego on the same trip if needed. We come assess the rig, pull the mast if it's still standing, disconnect what needs disconnecting, and tow it out. The paperwork piece, title transfers or abandoned vessel documentation, doesn't hold up the job. Full details on how we handle Louisiana sailboat disposal are on the service page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Marrero

Sailboat disposal in Marrero means we handle the entire vessel from start to finish. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value against your price. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut and routed to the processor. For boats sitting in a storage lot, boatyard, or driveway, we manage the whole job. We also run haul-outs for in-water pickups and handle the marina conversation so you don't have to coordinate vendors. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Marrero 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 Marrero. 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 Marrero

    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 Marrero sailboat disposal

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