I've pulled boats out of SeaTac backyards for years. Some people inherit one with the house and have no idea what to do with it. Others listed a 22-footer for sale one season, got no offers, and now there's a storage lot bill they're tired of paying. Either way, they call us because the boat's not going anywhere on its own.
We handle the whole thing start to finish for SeaTac and the surrounding area. Jobs in Normandy Park often stack with a SeaTac call, so we move efficiently through both. We load the old boat, tow it out, manage the paperwork, and make it disappear. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Washington page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in SeaTac
We handle the full removal of any vessel in SeaTac, from the initial haul to final disposal. Jobs start around $250. Most calls come from three situations: a boat sitting on a dead trailer in someone's driveway, a vessel taking up space in a storage lot, or a slip that needs to clear at a marina. We bring the right equipment to load safely, secure the hull, and tow it out without tearing up the yard. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. We service SeaTac, the same route runs through Burien and Boulevard Park, and the surrounding area. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

Schedule the removal in SeaTac
We coordinate with the marina or property owner. The pickup window is confirmed the day before, and the crew calls when they are an hour out.
4
Crew handles the haul and dismantle
Loading, lashing, transport, and offload at the processor. Permits pulled if the load is oversize. Hull cut down on site when the trailer will not fit the load.

Destruction documentation
You receive proof of disposal, title-release paperwork, and the hull ID record. Useful for insurance close-out.
Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.
The starting price at the top of this page is real. Size, where the boat sits, condition, and distance move it up from there. The full breakdown lives on the Washington pricing section.
Common questions about SeaTac boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in SeaTac?
Cost in SeaTac 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 SeaTac?
It happens, when the boat pays its own way. Scrap aluminum or a motor that runs can cover the trip. If yours does not have that, there is a fee, and you hear it before we book.
Can you remove a boat without a title in SeaTac?
Washington titles and registers boats. Boats lose their paperwork all the time, and we pick them up anyway. Check the legal section on the Washington page for how it works here.
How fast can you pick up a boat in SeaTac?
Most SeaTac 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?
Not if you cannot be. We photograph the boat loaded and send it over before final payment. Paperwork happens by phone and email, wherever you are.
Can you take the trailer too?
We take the trailer whenever you want it gone, which is almost always. Rotted tires and seized hubs are normal. The boat gets winched, the trailer gets loaded, the driveway gets empty.
What kinds of boats do you take in SeaTac?
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.
