Dale's take on Seguin

I get calls from people in Seguin who bought a sailboat ten years ago and the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Or they moved into a house on the lake, inherited a slip at a marina in Guadalupe County, and the fees kept climbing while the boat sat there. Sometimes it's an old sailboat that failed survey when a buyer got serious, and the sale fell through. The rigging's corroded, the deck core's soft, and they're done looking at it every morning.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish in Seguin and the surrounding area, including McQueeney and Geronimo on the same trip if needed. We rig it down, we tow it out, we handle the title work and get it off your property. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. The full process is detailed on the Texas sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Seguin

Sailboat disposal in Seguin means we handle the complete breakdown, from mast down to hull scrap. The mast comes down and standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel at our yard and credit its scrap value against your price. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut down and routed to the processor. Whether your vessel sits in a storage lot, driveway, or boatyard, we manage the whole job. Crews in Lake Dunlap and Kingsbury run the same process. The steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Seguin 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 Seguin. 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 Seguin

    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 Seguin sailboat disposal

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