Dale's take on Miami
I've pulled boats out of Miami backyards that came with the house in an estate cleanout, and I've hauled off a few that sat listed for a season with zero offers. One was a 26-foot cabin cruiser with a dead motor and a repair quote north of eight grand. The owner looked at that number and called me instead. Another was parked behind a house where the slip bill had outgrown any use the family got from it. That's how most of these calls start.
We handle the junk boat from start to finish in Miami and the surrounding area, including jobs in Mulberry that often stack with a Miami pickup the same afternoon. The crew loads it, tows it out, and handles all the paperwork. Missing documentation doesn't stop the work, and you can find the details on the Ohio page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Miami
Boat removal in Miami, Ohio means we come to your property, load the vessel onto our trailer, and haul it away for good. Jobs start around $250. We handle boats sitting on driveways with dead trailers, vessels stored in local lots, and slips at marinas around Miami. we bring a heavy-duty trailer, straps, and whatever equipment the hull requires to load safely. We work the same route through Mount Repose and Day Heights, so scheduling in those neighborhoods fits the same day. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Once we load it, you're done looking at it. The process steps below show how scheduling works.
Boat length, condition, location in Miami, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

Common questions about Miami boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Miami?
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 Miami get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in Miami?
Free removal in Miami 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 Miami?
Ohio requires a title for any boat 14 feet or longer, any boat under 14 feet with a fixed motor of 10 horsepower or more, and any outboard motor of 10 horsepower or more. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a Miami pickup. The legal section on the Ohio page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Miami?
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 Miami?
Every kind that shows up in Miami: 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.
