Dale's take on Kerrville

I get calls from people who bought a sailboat ten years ago and the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Or they're sitting in a slip at a lake club paying monthly fees on a rig that won't sail anymore, and the money stopped making sense. Sometimes it's an old sailboat that came with a house purchase, inherited along with the property, and nobody in the family sails. The rigging failed a survey, the sale fell through, and now it's just taking up space.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish in Kerrville and the surrounding area, including Ingram and Center Point on the same trip. The crew pulls the mast, secures the rigging, loads it on the trailer, and tows it out. You don't need a clean title or a full stack of paperwork to make this happen. The details on how we handle an old boat and what comes next are on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Kerrville

Sailboat disposal in Kerrville means we handle the whole vessel from mast to keel. The mast comes down and standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard, and any scrap value credits against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware get spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a boatyard, on a driveway, or at a storage lot in Kerrville or nearby Ingram, we run the haul-out and handle marina conversations so you don't have to. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Kerrville 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 Kerrville. 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 Kerrville

    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 Kerrville sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Kerrville?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Kerrville. Whatever the keel weighs in lead comes off the price up front.
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?
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?
If a charity can resell your boat, donation is the best deal going. Boats that sat neglected for years usually will not pass survey. Send photos and I will tell you which side of that line yours falls on.
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 Kerrville?
Missing paperwork does not stop the pickup. What Texas requires for the paperwork side lives on the Texas 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?
Time on stands does not stop the pickup. Rot, missing bottom paint, stuck through-hulls — every one of those is normal for a boat like that. The quote factors it in.
