Dale's take on Ann Arbor

I've picked up plenty of old boats from Ann Arbor backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited a property and didn't want to deal with it. Others belonged to people who listed them one season, got no offers, and decided to stop paying the storage lot bill. One was a dead 24-footer with a motor repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. The owner just wanted it gone.

We handle boat removal start to finish in Ann Arbor and the surrounding area. A pickup in Pittsfield often stacks with an Ann Arbor call the same afternoon, so we move through both efficiently. Whether it's a junk boat sitting in a backyard, an estate cleanout where the vessel needs to leave, or a tow from a slip, we take care of the paperwork, load it, and haul it. Missing documentation doesn't hold up the job, we work through those details on the Michigan page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Ann Arbor

We handle boat removal across Ann Arbor, Michigan, whether your vessel is sitting on a dead trailer in a driveway, parked at a storage lot, or taking up a slip at a marina. Jobs start around $250. We show up with a flatbed or heavy trailer, secure the boat, and haul it out. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Most of the work we do in Ann Arbor runs the same route through Barton Hills and Ypsilanti, so scheduling is straightforward. Once we load it, you're done looking at it. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in Ann Arbor works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in Ann Arbor, 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 Ann Arbor

    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 Michigan pricing section.

Common questions about Ann Arbor boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Ann Arbor?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in Ann Arbor get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Ann Arbor?
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 Ann Arbor?
Michigan titles some boats, not all. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Michigan page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Ann Arbor?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Plenty of Ann Arbor 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?
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 Ann Arbor?
Every kind that shows up in Ann Arbor: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
