Dale's take on Burien

I get calls from people in Burien who watched the mast come down one fall and never go back up. The slip fees kept running, the rig stayed on the ground, and somewhere between year two and year five they stopped pretending they'd fix it. Other times it's an estate, or a house that came with a boat nobody in the family sails. Sometimes the survey failed and the sale fell apart, and now there's a sailboat sitting in dry storage or on a trailer behind the garage, and the owner's done carrying the weight of it.

We haul old sailboat disposal jobs from Burien, SeaTac, and Normandy Park as one trip. The crew tows it out, handles the rig-down and load, and takes it start to finish. Missing paperwork, no title, unclear ownership, a survey that's expired, a marina dispute about slip access,none of that stops the job. Details on how we handle the full process are on the Washington sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Burien

Sailboat disposal in Burien means we handle the entire breakdown. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. At our yard, the keel comes out and its scrap value is credited against your price. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull is cut and routed to the processor. For in-water pickups, we run the haul-out and manage the marina conversation so you don't have to. Whether your vessel sits in a boatyard, storage lot, or driveway, we come to you. We also serve Boulevard Park and White Center. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Burien

Cal 27 removal Burien WA

Hauling a sailboat out of a Burien storage lot

A 27 ft Cal 27 sailboat sat on wooden stands in a Burien yard for years, the boom gone and the mast corroded where it met the step. The owner had stopped using it long ago, but stopping and letting go are two different things. Getting it out meant working around those stands, which had settled into the ground.

How sailboat disposal in Burien 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 Burien. 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 Burien

    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 Washington sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Burien sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Burien?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Burien. Whatever the keel weighs in lead comes off the price up front.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Yes. We run the haul-out, coordinate the crane if the mast needs pulling first, and handle the marina office. You do not manage three vendors to lose one sailboat.
Is the lead keel worth anything?
A lead keel is often the most valuable single piece of an older sailboat. Weight times the scrap rate credits back against the quote. Iron keels do the same at a lower rate.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
If a charity can resell your boat, donation is the best deal going. Boats that sat neglected for years usually will not pass survey. Send photos and I will tell you which side of that line yours falls on.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
Mast comes down first, standing rigging is cut or salvaged, and the metal goes to recycling. Usable sails, winches, and cleats get pulled and credited back when they are worth pulling. Nothing marketable goes to the landfill.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Burien?
Whatever the paperwork situation, the pickup still happens. The legal specifics for Washington sit on the boat-removal page. You get proof of disposal at the end.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
Time on stands does not stop the pickup. Rot, missing bottom paint, stuck through-hulls — every one of those is normal for a boat like that. The quote factors it in.
