A lot of the calls we get come from people who bought a sailboat years ago and stopped sailing it. Maybe the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Maybe slip fees at the marina kept climbing while the boat sat on its mooring, or storage costs in a St. Louis County lot started eating into a budget that had no room for a boat nobody was using anymore. Sometimes we hear from someone managing an estate where nobody in the family sails, or from a person who inherited a sailboat with a lake house and never wanted the rig in the first place. We've pulled plenty of old sailboats that came with property deals, and we've seen restoration projects stall at the deck core or a survey failure that killed a sale before it started.
When you call Hansons Boat Removal, we handle the whole job start to finish. We can tow an old boat out of Duluth, Proctor, or Hermantown on the same trip if you're in that corridor. We drop the rigging, secure the mast, get the sailboat ready for transport, and load it on the truck. If your paperwork is missing or the title's unclear, that doesn't stop us. The details on sailboat disposal in Minnesota are on the service page.
