Dale's take on Tacoma

We pull a lot of old boats out of Tacoma backyards. Some came with the house when someone inherited the property and didn't want the liability. Others sat listed for a season with no buyers, and the owner got tired of the slip bill eating into the bank account every month. A few have dead motors with repair quotes that cost more than the hull's worth. We've also pulled plenty when an HOA sends a letter or code enforcement shows up at the property line.

Hansons Boat Removal handles junk boats from start to finish in Tacoma and the surrounding area, including jobs in Browns Point that often stack with a Tacoma call the same afternoon. We load it, tow it, and handle the paperwork and title work on our end. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, and you can find more details on the Washington page.

What's covered

What boat removal covers in Tacoma

We haul any vessel from Tacoma, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked in a storage lot, or taking up a marina slip along the Sound. Jobs start around $250. We bring a heavy-duty truck, air bags, and straps rated for fiberglass, aluminum, or steel. The same route runs through Dash Point and Fircrest, so we schedule multiple pickups the same day when we can. Once we load it, the boat heads to our yard or the processor, never getting torn apart on your property. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

How boat removal in Tacoma works

  1. 1

    Send photos and the pickup ZIP

    Boat length, condition, location in Tacoma, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

  2. 2

    Get a fixed quote the same day

    Flat fee covering pickup, transport, and disposal at a licensed facility. No per-hour charges, no fuel surcharges added later.

  3. 3

    Schedule the removal in Tacoma

    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. 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.

  5. 5

    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 Tacoma boat removal

How much does boat removal cost in Tacoma?
Cost in Tacoma 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 Tacoma?
Free removal in Tacoma 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 Tacoma?
Yes. Washington titles and registers boats. And missing paperwork is one of the most common things we see in Tacoma. What we need from you is on the Washington page, in the legal section.
How fast can you pick up a boat in Tacoma?
Most Tacoma 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 Tacoma?
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.
