Dale's take on Grapevine

I get calls from people who bought a sailboat thinking they'd sail it. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. Or the slip fees in Dallas County kept climbing while the boat sat unused, and one day the math just didn't work anymore. I've hauled sailboats from estates where nobody in the family ever learned to sail, boats that moved down from other states with a house purchase and turned into yard clutter, rigs that failed survey and killed the sale, restorations that stalled at the deck core and never restarted.

We handle old sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew works Grapevine, Coppell, and Lewisville on the same trip, so if you're in Dallas County and the rig needs to come down, we schedule it. We pull the mast, secure the rigging, load it on the truck, and tow it out. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. Everything else you need to know about sailboat disposal lives on the service page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Grapevine

Sailboat disposal in Grapevine means we handle the full breakdown of your vessel, start to finish. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware get spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. For boats in the water, we run the haul-out and handle the marina conversation, so you don't manage vendors across Irving or Farmers Branch. Whether your boat sits in a boatyard, storage lot, or driveway, the process stays the same. The steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Grapevine

Cal 27 removal Grapevine TX

Hauling a sailboat out of a Grapevine yard

A 27 ft Cal 27 sat on wooden stands in a Grapevine driveway for three years. The boom was gone, the mast corroded at the step where it meets the hull. The owner had stopped looking at it after the first season.

How sailboat disposal in Grapevine 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 Grapevine. 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 Grapevine

    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 Texas sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Grapevine sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Grapevine?
Cost tracks length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard. The pricing section above shows the range. Lead keel scrap value gets credited off the number, and a firm quote comes back from photos.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Slip-out pickups are one of the most common calls. Crane time, marina paperwork, and the mast conversation happen on our side. You approve the schedule and we handle the rest.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
Lead keels carry real scrap value, and that value comes off your price up front. Iron brings less. Photos of the keel and the boat get us to the right number before we schedule.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation makes sense for a boat with survey value — a runnable diesel, sound decks, a rig that will not fail on inspection. Send photos and I will tell you which way yours leans; if the numbers work for a charity, I will say so first.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
The mast comes down at the boat or at our yard, then metal recycling handles the rigging. Sails and hardware in decent shape come off first and are spoken for before the hull is cut.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Grapevine?
Titling questions belong on the Texas boat-removal page's legal section. On our side, missing paperwork does not stop the job — proof of disposal comes back to you when the work is done.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
Years on stands is our most common call. Seized hardware, stained hulls, corroded rigging — none of that changes whether we take the job. The quote already assumes the boat has been sitting.
