Dale's take on Monroe

I get calls from people in Monroe who bought a sailboat ten years ago and the mast came down one fall, never went back up. The rigging corroded. The slip fees kept coming, $200 a month, $300 a month, and one day they do the math and realize they've spent more on storage than the boat is worth. Or the estate came with a sailboat in dry storage behind the house, and nobody in the family sails. Or someone towed a trailer sailer down from out of state and it's been parked behind the garage in Ouachita Parish ever since, slowly sinking into the gravel.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew comes to Monroe, West Monroe, and Brownsville on the same trip, gets the rig down, loads the boat on the trailer or truck, and hauls it out. If the title is missing or the paperwork is a mess, that doesn't stop the job. The full details on how we handle it are on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Monroe

Sailboat disposal in Monroe means we handle the full breakdown of your 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 cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut down and routed to the processor. For boats in the water at a marina or boatyard, we run the haul-out and manage the conversation with the facility. Whether your sailboat sits in a storage lot, on a driveway, or in Bawcomville or Richwood, the process stays the same. The steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Monroe

Crestliner 1650 removal Monroe LA

Hauling a fishing boat out of a Monroe driveway

A 16 ft Crestliner 1650 aluminum fishing boat had been sitting in someone's driveway in Monroe for three years. Bench seats were stripped down to bare metal, and the hull was packed with leaves and standing water. The trailer tongue was bent hard to one side, which meant we couldn't just hook it and roll.

How sailboat disposal in Monroe 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 Monroe. 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 Monroe

    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 Monroe sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Monroe?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Monroe. Whatever the keel weighs in lead comes off the price up front.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes. We run the haul-out, coordinate the crane if the mast needs pulling first, and handle the marina office. You do not manage three vendors to lose one sailboat.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
A lead keel is often the most valuable single piece of an older sailboat. Weight times the scrap rate credits back against the quote. Iron keels do the same at a lower rate.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
If a charity can resell your boat, donation is the best deal going. Boats that sat neglected for years usually will not pass survey. Send photos and I will tell you which side of that line yours falls on.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
Mast comes down first, standing rigging is cut or salvaged, and the metal goes to recycling. Usable sails, winches, and cleats get pulled and credited back when they are worth pulling. Nothing marketable goes to the landfill.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Monroe?
Whatever the paperwork situation, the pickup still happens. The legal specifics for Louisiana sit on the boat-removal page. You get proof of disposal at the end.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
Time on stands does not stop the pickup. Rot, missing bottom paint, stuck through-hulls — every one of those is normal for a boat like that. The quote factors it in.
