Dale's take on Hicksville

I get calls from two kinds of Hicksville owners. First, the sailor who walked out one fall and found the mast down, rigging slack, and never got around to stepping it again. Ten years later the boat's still on blocks in a storage lot, fees eating money every month, and the hull's too far gone to sell. Second, the person who inherited a sailboat with a house, or bought one expecting to use it, and now it's parked behind the garage or taking up slip space at a marina nobody visits anymore. The survey failed. The restoration stalled at the deck core. The price keeps dropping and the calls never come.

Hansons Boat Removal handles old sailboat disposal from start to finish across Nassau County, including Jericho and Oyster Bay on the same trip. We rig down, we tow, we handle the paperwork and the title work. Missing documentation doesn't stop the job. Everything else lives on the sailboat disposal page for Hicksville, but the short version is this: one call, we show up, and the boat leaves your property for good.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Hicksville

Sailboat disposal in Hicksville means we handle the entire breakdown on site or at our yard. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our facility, and any scrap value gets credited toward your fee. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut down and routed to the processor. Whether your vessel is sitting in a storage lot, driveway, or on stands, we run the haul-out and manage any marina or boatyard conversations. Same process applies in nearby Levittown and New Cassel. The steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Hicksville works

  1. 1

    Send photos, rig status, and the pickup ZIP

    Length, keel type, whether the mast is up or already down, and access notes for the yard or slip in Hicksville. Photos of the rig and any winches or hardware set the number.

  2. 2

    Get a firm quote back the same day

    One number covers rig-down through disposal. Keel scrap value is credited off the total up front, not owed back after.

  3. 3

    Schedule pickup and marina coordination in Hicksville

    If the boat is in a slip we run the marina office and the crane call. On stands or on a trailer we set a date and window; the crew calls when they are an hour out.

  4. 4

    Rig-down and load

    Mast unstepped, standing rigging cut or salvaged, spreaders and boom stacked and strapped. Usable sails, winches, and hardware come off before the hull leaves.

  5. 5

    Keel out, hull processed, documentation

    The keel is unbolted or cut at our yard, weighed, and sold to the metal recycler; the fiberglass hull is cut down and routed to a processor. You get proof of disposal and the hull ID record.

    Metal keel, rigging, winches, and salvageable hardware are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

The starting number at the top of this page is real. Length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard move it from there. Lead keel scrap value is credited off — details on the New York sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Hicksville sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Hicksville?
Length and keel type set most of it. Lead scrap value credits back against the number. Send photos of the boat and the rig and the quote comes back the same day, firm.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes — slip pickups are routine. We call the marina, book the crane, and pull the mast on the ramp if that is where it makes sense. One point of contact all the way through.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Yes. Lead recovers more per pound at scrap than iron, and the value gets credited against the price. We confirm keel type from photos before we quote because it moves the number more than almost anything else.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation works when the boat still has resale value. A stalled restoration or a stripped hull almost never qualifies. Send photos and I will tell you honestly which route makes sense.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
We unstep the mast, coil or salvage the standing rigging, and pull winches, cleats, and any usable sails before the hull leaves. Metals get recycled and sails get sold or donated when they are still good.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Hicksville?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What New York requires for the paperwork side lives on the New York boat-removal page, in the legal section. We handle what we can from our end.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
A boat on stands for a decade is exactly what this service is for. Nothing about the condition surprises the crew. The quote is built for boats that need the work we are already doing.
