Dale's take on New Braunfels

I've pulled sailboats out of Comal County driveways, storage lots, and dry storage yards where they've sat for years. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. The slip fees kept climbing while the boat stayed tied. Someone inherited a lake house with a rig that didn't fit their life. A survey killed the sale, and the restoration stalled at the deck core. Now the old sailboat is taking up space, costing money, and not going anywhere.

We handle sailboat disposal from start to finish across New Braunfels, Garden Ridge, and Canyon Lake. The crew takes down what's left of the rigging, gets it loaded, and tows the hull out. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. More details on how we handle the full process are on the Texas sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in New Braunfels

Sailboat disposal in New Braunfels means we handle the full takedown. The mast comes down, standing rigging gets cut or salvaged, and the keel comes out at our yard with its scrap value credited against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a driveway, storage lot, or boatyard, we manage the haul-out and any marina conversation,you don't coordinate vendors. We work the same way in Bulverde and Spring Branch. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in New Braunfels

Sea Ray 268 Sundancer removal New Braunfels TX

Hauling a cabin cruiser out of a New Braunfels driveway

A 26 ft Sea Ray 268 Sundancer sat in a driveway in Comal County with a soft transom and peeling bottom paint. The owner had pulled it out of the water years back, never quite got around to fixing it, and after a while stopped thinking about it until the day he called us. No trailer underneath, which meant the hull was resting on concrete blocks and old wood, and the whole thing had settled unevenly into the ground.

How sailboat disposal in New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels. 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 New Braunfels

    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 New Braunfels sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in New Braunfels?
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 New Braunfels?
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?
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.
