Pricing

See how pricing works

The boats I remove in Michigan rarely die where anyone expects. One came with a house, another with an estate nobody wanted to sort out. A few started as weekends at the cabin that stopped a couple of summers back, and the boat never left the yard. The motor quit along the way, and fixing it cost more than the hull would bring back. Nobody remembers when it stopped being useful.

That is where boat removal comes in. My crew picks up from a trailer, a yard, or a storage lot, and handles transport and disposal in one pass. I get rid of a boat whether it runs or floats or not. Boat pickup does not wait on a title. Missing paperwork does not stop the job. More further down.

How much does boat removal cost?

Starting from

$250

Junk boat on a trailer that rolls, with room for the truck to reach it. From there, four things move the number.

I will tell you which ones apply to yours before we schedule anything.

Size and type

A 14-foot aluminum fishing boat is one job. A 30-foot cabin cruiser is a different one. Length, beam, and weight decide the crew and the equipment.

Where it sits

Driveway on a trailer is the cheapest boat removal there is. On blocks in the backyard takes more work. In a slip, it needs a haul-out. Sunken, it needs recovery.

Condition

Engine already out is cheaper. Fuel still aboard, a hull full of rainwater, a trailer that will not roll: each adds handling.

Distance

Miles to the processing yard are part of the quote. Boat hauling cost scales with them.

Can it be free?

People ask about free junk boat removal. Sometimes the boat has enough going for it, a running outboard, decent aluminum, and we take it for nothing. Sometimes it does not, and there is a fee. We will tell you which one you have.

Our guarantee

The number is firm before the truck rolls.

Twenty years in, nobody has heard a different price at the curb.

Local read

What pricing looks like in Michigan

Michigan boat owners mostly call us from driveways and lake properties, with the occasional pull straight off a boat ramp. Once the trailer is loaded, the run to our yard doesn't take long, so I quote fast and mean it. Spring gets busy because de-winterizing forces people to finally deal with the boat they never relaunched, and fall brings a second wave before storage deadlines close in. I give you the number before the truck ever leaves my lot, and that's the number you pay.

Junk boat pickup, salvage, and old boat removal

One boat, a whole yard, or an emergency. Old boat removal from a driveway or an estate. Junk boat pickup for the one that never sold. Marinas and boat yards call us to clear a season of abandoned slips in one visit. Insurance adjusters call after storms. My crew has floated sunken boats, hauled sailboats out of backyards, and moved a 40-footer through a neighborhood that was not built for it. One call covers removal, transport, and disposal. If it floats, floated, or was supposed to float, we haul it.

Getting rid of a boat legally in Michigan

State legal briefMichigan

Reviewed August 25, 2026

Michigan titles some boats, not all. A title is required only if the boat is 20 feet or longer, or carries a permanently affixed motor. Shorter boats without a fixed motor register without a title, and Coast Guard-documented boats skip state titling.

Handing over a titled boat means the seller signs it to you. Without one, you need the seller's signed registration, a bill of sale with year, make, HIN, and both parties names and addresses, and the MCO. Boats over $2,500 need a surety bond; at $2,500 or under, self-certification covers it. If none of that exists, Michigan's fallback is the Vehicle Uniform Surety Bond, Form TR-121, a bond for double the boat's determined value, held three years. Titling runs $5.

Michigan runs no formal state program for abandoned or derelict boats. Public Act 549 of 2014 lets police log a boat into LEIN and hand it to a tow company for scrap, but that is law enforcement, not a removal service.

If the boat is not yours. Under MCL 324.80130g, you can ask police to photograph the boat, log it into LEIN, and notify the last owner, who gets 20 days to redeem it. That process is yours to carry. If you would rather the boat be gone, removal skips that clock. We take Michigan boats without a title.

Skip the paperwork.We take Michigan boats with or without titles. One call, one price.

Boat removal across Michigan

Top 24 cities by population. 1489 cities covered across Michigan.

Boat removal in Michigan: what owners ask

How do I get rid of an old boat in Michigan?

Sell it, donate it, take it to a salvage yard, or call a removal service to haul it away: four real options. Most calls start in a driveway or at a lake place, and boat removers like us cover that last one year-round.

How much does boat disposal cost in Michigan?

Cost starts with the range in the pricing section above, then shifts with size, where the boat sits, its condition, and how far our crew has to haul it. A boat near a lake ramp usually costs less than one behind a garage.

Where can I dispose of a boat in Michigan?

A salvage yard, a marine recycler, or a removal service are the real options, because landfills across the state refuse hulls outright. Lake towns rarely keep anything like a boat dump around, so most owners end up calling someone like us instead.

Can I get free junk boat removal in Michigan?

A boat with a running outboard or decent aluminum still carries trade value, so we take it free and say so upfront. A rotted hull with nothing left to salvage carries a fee, and I tell you which applies first.

Are there boat salvage yards near me in Michigan?

Plenty of them work across the state, but boat junkyards almost always want the hull delivered on a trailer rather than picked up loose. If yours isn't trailer ready after a Michigan winter, a removal service saves you that step.

How do I dispose of a fiberglass boat in Michigan?

Landfills won't take fiberglass, so an old boat gets cut into sections small enough for facilities that process it. Our crew handles the cutting and hauling, exactly what an unwanted boat sitting in a driveway needs.

Can you remove a boat without a title in Michigan?

Michigan titles some boats but not every one. We still handle abandoned boat removal whether the paperwork exists or not. The legal section above covers what actually applies to your boat.
