Dale's take on Somerville

I've pulled boats out of Somerville backyards for years. Usually it's the same story. Someone inherited a house with a junk boat already rotting in the yard, or an estate cleanout left behind a 26-footer that nobody wanted. Sometimes a guy listed it for a season, got no offers, and now it's taking up space he needs. The storage lot bill keeps coming. The motor's seized. A repair quote came back at eight grand. He stopped answering the phone.

We handle the tow from start to finish in Somerville and the surrounding area. Jobs in Cambridge often stack with a Somerville call, so we pick up both in the same afternoon. We load the old boat, haul it out, and deal with the title transfer and paperwork. Missing documentation does not stop the job. Details on the Massachusetts page cover how that works.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Somerville

We haul any vessel out of Somerville, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked in a storage lot, or taking up a slip at a local marina. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a heavy-duty trailer, straps, and whatever rigging we need to load safely without damaging your property or the surrounding area. Once we've got it secured, we transport it to our yard or to the processor, and boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Most Somerville pickups run the same route through Medford and Malden, so if you're in that corridor the logistics work out clean. From there, what's salvageable gets recycled, what isn't goes to the appropriate facility. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in Somerville works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in Somerville, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

  2. 2

    Get a fixed quote the same day

    Flat fee covering pickup, transport, and disposal at a licensed facility. No per-hour charges, no fuel surcharges added later.

  3. 3

    Schedule the removal in Somerville

    We coordinate with the marina or property owner. The pickup window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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 Somerville boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Somerville?
There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting one sight unseen is guessing. What your Somerville removal costs depends on the boat, where it sits, and the haul. The number we give you is the one we charge.
Is boat removal ever free in Somerville?
Sometimes. A running outboard or decent aluminum can carry the cost, and we take the boat for nothing. No value means a fee. We tell you which one you have before anything is scheduled.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Somerville?
Yes. 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. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Somerville. What we need from you is on the Massachusetts page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Somerville?
Fast. A typical Somerville pickup lands within a few days of the quote, with the window confirmed the day before. The crew calls an hour out so nobody waits around.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Plenty of Somerville owners are at work or out of state. You get photos of the boat loaded before final payment, and the paperwork is handled remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes. The trailer usually goes with the boat, and its condition does not matter. If it rolls, we tow it. If it does not, it rides on the truck.
What kinds of boats do you take in Somerville?
If it is a boat, yes. Fiberglass or aluminum, power or sail, running or long dead. The rough ones are most of what we do, so nothing about yours will surprise the crew.
