I've pulled boats out of Pearl backyards for years. Most calls come from people who inherited a junk boat with the house and now the estate cleanout is stalled, or someone who listed a vessel for sale one season and watched the storage lot bill climb higher than the boat's worth. There's always a story, and it's never simple.
We handle the full tow from start to finish. The crew loads it, hauls it out, and manages the paperwork. Jobs in Flowood often stack with a Pearl call, so timing works in your favor. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Mississippi page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Pearl
Boat removal in Pearl means we come to your property, load the vessel onto our truck, haul it out, and handle the title work and disposal. Jobs start around $250. We pull boats from driveways on dead trailers, storage lots, and backyard blocks across Pearl and the surrounding area. The same route runs through Richland and Cleary, so if your boat sits in any of those spots, we can schedule you the same day or next available. We bring the equipment to load safely, and the boat goes to our yard or the processor for dismantling. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. No hidden fees, no surprise calls. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

Schedule the removal in Pearl
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
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.

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 Mississippi pricing section.
Common questions about Pearl boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Pearl?
Cost in Pearl starts where the pricing above starts, and the boat itself sets the rest: size, where it sits, condition, and the haul. Send photos and the ZIP, the number you get is the number you pay.
Is boat removal ever free in Pearl?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Pearl?
Mississippi does title boats, despite a common myth otherwise. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Mississippi page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Pearl?
Most Pearl jobs are scheduled within a couple of days. The window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out. Rush jobs depend on the route, call early.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
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 Pearl?
Any of them. Fiberglass cruisers, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, jet skis. No engine, flat tires, full of leaves and rainwater, still yes. If it was supposed to float, we haul it.
