I get calls from people in Arnold who bought a sailboat ten years ago and sailed it twice. The mast came down one fall, and it never went back up. Now it's taking up slip fees at a marina in Anne Arundel County, or it's sitting on blocks in a storage lot, and every month that passes costs money. Other calls come from folks who inherited a lake house with a sailboat in the yard, or who picked up an old boat with a trailer and parked it behind the garage because moving it felt like too much. A few have tried to sell. They listed it, dropped the price, and heard nothing but lowball offers or silence. The rigging is shot. The survey failed. The restoration stalled at the deck core. At some point, they stop looking at it and start looking for a number to call.
We handle sailboat disposal from start to finish in Arnold and the surrounding area, including Naval Academy and Annapolis on the same trip if needed. The crew shows up, assesses the rig and the hull, gets the mast down if it's still standing, and tows the boat out. Missing paperwork, a lien, or a title that's buried somewhere doesn't stop the job. Details on how the removal works and what happens to the old sailboat after we haul it are on the Maryland sailboat disposal page.
