Dale's take on Kent

I get calls from two kinds of sailboat owners in Kent. First, the person who bought a lake house with a sailboat already sitting there, or who inherited one from a relative who sailed twenty years ago. The mast came down one fall and never went back up. The rigging corroded. The slip fees kept coming anyway. Second, the sailor who started a restoration that stalled at the deck core, or whose boat failed survey when a buyer finally showed up. The listing ran. The price dropped. The calls went quiet. Both situations end the same way: a boat that won't move and a Kent property that needs the space back.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew works through King County and into Lakeland North and Auburn on the same trip, so if you're in that territory, the logistics stay simple. We rig the boat down, handle the tow, manage the title work, and move it out. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. Everything you need to know about how we work and what the process looks like is on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Kent

Sailboat disposal in Kent means we handle the full deconstruction. The mast comes down and standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged. We haul the vessel out at our yard, pull the keel, and credit its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull goes to the processor. Whether your boat sits in a boatyard, on a storage lot, or at a marina, we run the haul-out and handle the conversation with the facility. No vendor juggling on your end. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Kent

Pearson 26 removal Kent WA

26 ft Pearson Removal in Kent, WA

A 26 ft Pearson 26 sailboat sat on concrete stands in a Kent driveway for three years. The deck core had gone soft around every stanchion, and the fiberglass was starting to fail in patches. The owner had bought it thinking he'd restore it.

How sailboat disposal in Kent 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 Kent. 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 Kent

    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 Kent sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Kent?
Length and keel type set most of it. Lead scrap value credits back against the number. Send photos of the boat and the rig and the quote comes back the same day, firm.
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?
Lead keels carry real scrap value, and that value comes off your price up front. Iron brings less. Photos of the keel and the boat get us to the right number before we schedule.
Should I just donate the sailboat instead?
Donation works when the boat still has resale value. A stalled restoration or a stripped hull almost never qualifies. Send photos and I will tell you honestly which route makes sense.
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 Kent?
Titling questions belong on the Washington boat-removal page's legal section. On our side, missing paperwork does not stop the job — proof of disposal comes back to you when the work is done.
What if the boat has been sitting on stands for years?
A boat on stands for a decade is exactly what this service is for. Nothing about the condition surprises the crew. The quote is built for boats that need the work we are already doing.
