I've pulled old boats out of Wenatchee backyards for years. Some folks inherited the thing with the house and never wanted it. Others listed it a season, got no offers, and decided to move on. A few had storage lot bills that climbed every year, or a dead motor with a repair quote that cost more than the hull was worth. That's usually when the call comes in.
Hansons Boat Removal handles the full job in Wenatchee from start to finish. We load the junk boat, tow it out, and handle the paperwork and title work. Jobs in South Wenatchee often stack with a Wenatchee call the same afternoon. Missing paperwork does not stop the job, details on the Washington page.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in Wenatchee
We handle any vessel in Wenatchee, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked in a storage lot, or taking up a marina slip. Jobs start around $250. We show up with a flatbed, winch equipment, and whatever rigging the boat needs, then load it for transport. The same route runs through Sunnyslope and Cashmere, so we often pick up multiple boats on a single dispatch. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. Once we've got it loaded, you get a photo and a document confirming it's gone. The process steps below show how scheduling works.
Boat length, condition, location in Wenatchee, and any access notes: gated property, narrow driveway, in-water slip. Photos speed up the quote.

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