I've pulled plenty of old boats out of Roxbury backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want the liability. Others sat there because the owner listed it for a season, got no offers, and eventually stopped checking the slip bill. One was a 22-foot cabin cruiser with a dead motor and a repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. The owner just walked away from it.
We handle the whole job in Roxbury, start to finish. Load the junk boat, haul it out, and manage the paperwork and title work on our end. Jobs in Ledgewood often stack with a Roxbury call, so we move through the area efficiently. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the work either. Details on the New Jersey page cover how we handle that side.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Roxbury
We handle any vessel in Roxbury, whether it's rotting on a driveway, abandoned in a storage lot, or taking up a marina slip. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a trailer and winch, assesses the hull, and loads it safely. We work the same route through Landing and Succasunna, so if you're in that corridor, scheduling is straightforward. Once it's on the truck, the boat goes to our yard or the processor, where it's dismantled for salvage or recycled responsibly. Nothing stays on your property. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The process steps below show how scheduling works.
Boat length, condition, location in Roxbury, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

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
Schedule the removal in Roxbury
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.
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 New Jersey pricing section.
Common questions about Roxbury boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Roxbury?
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 Roxbury get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Roxbury?
Free removal in Roxbury depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in Roxbury?
New Jersey titles most boats, with real exceptions. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Roxbury pickup. The legal section on the New Jersey page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Roxbury?
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. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in Roxbury?
Every kind that shows up in Roxbury: 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.
