Titles in Virginia:Virginia titles every motorized boat, regardless of horsepower.
Dale's take on Chantilly
We pull old boats out of Chantilly backyards all the time. Some came with the house during an estate cleanout and nobody wants them. Others sat listed for a season with no buyers, and the owner got tired of the slip bill climbing every month. A 22-foot cabin cruiser with a dead motor and a repair quote that cost more than the hull itself. An HOA letter that finally made someone act. These aren't emergencies. They're just decisions people needed to make.
We tow the junk boat out, handle the paperwork start to finish, and it's gone. Jobs in Sully Square often stack with a Chantilly call the same afternoon. We work with what you've got, even if the title's incomplete or the registration lapsed. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Virginia page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Chantilly
We handle the full removal of any vessel in Chantilly, from the initial haul-out to final disposal. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from driveways where a boat's been sitting on a dead trailer, storage lots holding fiberglass shells, or marina slips when someone's ready to move on. We bring the right equipment,a flatbed, straps, and a winch,and load it ourselves. No damage, no guessing. The same route runs through Greenbriar and Franklin Farm, so if you're in either neighborhood, scheduling works the same way. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Once it's off your property with paperwork in hand, you're done. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

Common questions about Chantilly boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in Chantilly?
Cost in Chantilly starts where the pricing above starts, and the boat itself sets the rest: size, where it sits, condition, and the haul. Send photos and the ZIP, the number you get is the number you pay.
Is boat removal ever free in Chantilly?
Free removal in Chantilly 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 Chantilly?
Yes. Virginia titles every motorized boat, regardless of horsepower. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Chantilly. What we need from you is on the Virginia page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Chantilly?
Most Chantilly jobs are scheduled within a couple of days. The window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out. Rush jobs depend on the route, call early.
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. The trailer usually goes with the boat, and its condition does not matter. If it rolls, we tow it. If it does not, it rides on the truck.
What kinds of boats do you take in Chantilly?
Any of them. Fiberglass cruisers, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, jet skis. No engine, flat tires, full of leaves and rainwater, still yes. If it was supposed to float, we haul it.
