Dale's take on Danvers
I've pulled old boats out of Danvers backyards for years. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want it. Others sat in a backyard while the owner waited for a buyer who never showed, or the storage lot bill kept climbing and the boat wasn't worth what they owed. A few had motors seized up, and the repair quote was more than the hull was worth. That's when people call us.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the tow from start to finish in Danvers. We load the junk boat, haul it out, and deal with the title and paperwork. Jobs in Peabody often stack with a Danvers call the same afternoon. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Massachusetts page cover how we handle it.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Danvers
We handle full removal of any vessel in Danvers, from the initial haul to final disposal. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from three situations: a boat sitting on a dead trailer in someone's driveway, a hull stored in a lot taking up space, or a slip at a local marina. We show up with a heavy trailer, load equipment, and the crew needed to get it off your property safely. The same route runs through Middleton and Topsfield, so pickups in those towns stay on schedule. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. No mess left behind, no excuses. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

Crew handles the haul and dismantle
Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.

Destruction documentation
You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.
Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.
The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Massachusetts pricing section.
Common questions about Danvers boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Danvers?
Cost in Danvers starts where the pricing above starts, and the boat itself sets the rest: size, where it sits, condition, and the haul. Send photos and the ZIP, the number you get is the number you pay.
Is boat removal ever free in Danvers?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Danvers?
Massachusetts titles boats 14 feet and longer if the boat is designed for a motor or ever uses one, including a 14-foot-plus sailboat with an auxiliary motor. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Massachusetts page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Danvers?
Most Danvers jobs are scheduled within a couple of days. The window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out. Rush jobs depend on the route, call early.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
We take the trailer whenever you want it gone, which is almost always. Rotted tires and seized hubs are normal. The boat gets winched, the trailer gets loaded, the driveway gets empty.
What kinds of boats do you take in Danvers?
Any of them. Fiberglass cruisers, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, jet skis. No engine, flat tires, full of leaves and rainwater, still yes. If it was supposed to float, we haul it.
