Dale's take on Shoreline

I get two kinds of calls from Shoreline. First, the owner who dropped the mast one fall and never bothered putting it back up. The rigging sat coiled on deck for years while the boat collected rain and bird droppings. Second, the slip fees kept climbing until they cost more than the boat was worth. Nobody wanted to sail anymore, but the payments didn't stop. Marina storage in King County isn't cheap, and eventually someone decides enough is enough.

We handle sailboat disposal start to finish. The crew works the same day in Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, and Kenmore, so we're efficient with scheduling. We come out, assess what you've got, get the rig down and the boat on the trailer, then tow it out. Missing paperwork doesn't stop the job. Full details on what happens next are on the Washington sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Shoreline

Sailboat disposal in Shoreline means we handle the full breakdown on your timeline. The mast comes down, standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged for scrap value. We pull the keel at our yard and credit that salvage against your price. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull gets cut and routed to the processor. For boats in the water at a marina or boatyard, we run the haul-out and manage the marina conversation so you don't have to juggle vendors. The same process works whether your vessel sits in a storage lot or a Bothell driveway. We also handle pickups in Seattle and surrounding areas. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Shoreline

Catalina 22 removal Shoreline WA

22 ft Catalina Removal in Shoreline, WA

A 22 ft Catalina 22 sailboat sat in a Shoreline yard with its mast down and lashed to the deck. The fiberglass hull had been idle for years, and the swing-keel trailer underneath it had flat tires and wasn't going anywhere on its own. The owner had kept the boat thinking he'd restore it someday.

How sailboat disposal in Shoreline 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 Shoreline. 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 Shoreline

    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 Shoreline sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Shoreline?
Cost tracks length, keel type, and whether the boat sits in the water or on the hard. The pricing section above shows the range. Lead keel scrap value gets credited off the number, and a firm quote comes back from photos.
Can you take a sailboat straight out of a marina slip?
Slip-out pickups are one of the most common calls. Crane time, marina paperwork, and the mast conversation happen on our side. You approve the schedule and we handle the rest.
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 makes sense for a boat with survey value — a runnable diesel, sound decks, a rig that will not fail on inspection. Send photos and I will tell you which way yours leans; if the numbers work for a charity, I will say so first.
What happens to the mast, rigging, and sails?
The mast comes down at the boat or at our yard, then metal recycling handles the rigging. Sails and hardware in decent shape come off first and are spoken for before the hull is cut.
Do I need a title to dispose of a sailboat in Shoreline?
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?
Years on stands is our most common call. Seized hardware, stained hulls, corroded rigging — none of that changes whether we take the job. The quote already assumes the boat has been sitting.
