Dale's take on Quincy

I get calls from people in Quincy who bought a sailboat years ago and stopped sailing it. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Storage fees at the marina kept climbing, and one day the owner realized they were paying more per month to keep the boat than they ever paid for fuel. I've picked up old sailboats from behind garages in Quincy where the trailer had sunk into the ground. I've hauled rigs that failed survey and killed a sale, and boats that came with a house purchase nobody wanted to finish. A restoration project that stalled at the deck core. A slip in Norfolk County that turned into a money pit.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish in Quincy. The crew works the same day in Braintree Town and Weymouth Town, so we can often roll multiple jobs into one trip. We rig everything down, tow the old boat out, and handle the paperwork. Missing title or incomplete registration doesn't stop us. Details on how we handle the full job are on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Quincy

Sailboat disposal in Quincy means we handle the entire 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 get spoken for before the fiberglass hull is cut and routed to the processor. For boats in the water, we run the haul-out and handle the marina conversation so you don't have to manage vendors. Whether your boat sits in a boatyard, storage lot, or driveway, we show up and do the work. We also serve Milton and Randolph Town with the same process. The steps below walk you through how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Quincy

Bayliner 175 Bowrider removal Quincy MA

17 ft Bayliner Removal in Quincy, MA

A 17 ft Bayliner 175 Bowrider sat in a Quincy driveway with faded gelcoat and cracked seat vinyl, parked on a trailer with both tires flat. The owner had kept it for years, thinking maybe next summer he'd take it out, but next summer never came. By the time he called, the boat had become the thing he walked past without seeing anymore, until one day he saw it again and decided he was done.

How sailboat disposal in Quincy 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 Quincy. 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 Quincy

    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 Massachusetts sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Quincy sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Quincy?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Quincy. Whatever the keel weighs in lead comes off the price up front.
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?
Yes. Lead recovers more per pound at scrap than iron, and the value gets credited against the price. We confirm keel type from photos before we quote because it moves the number more than almost anything else.
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?
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 Quincy?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What Massachusetts requires for the paperwork side lives on the Massachusetts boat-removal page, in the legal section. We handle what we can from our 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.
