Dale's take on Yakima

I get calls from people who bought a sailboat fifteen years ago and the mast came down one fall and never went back up. Storage fees piled up faster than the urge to fix it. I get calls from folks who inherited a lake house with a sailboat sitting on stands in the yard, and nobody in the family sails. The rigging seized. The survey found rot in the deck core. The listing expired after six months of lowball offers and silence. That's sailboat disposal in Yakima,a boat that stopped making sense but didn't stop taking up space.

Hansons Boat Removal handles the whole job start to finish. We come to Yakima and the surrounding area, including Union Gap and Selah, and we bring down the rig, secure the mast, get the old sailboat on the trailer, and haul it out. Missing paperwork, no title, no survey report,none of that stops us. We sort the details on the back end. You get a confirmation when it's gone and an address where it went. That's the job.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Yakima

Sailboat disposal in Yakima means we handle the entire breakdown on site or at our yard. The mast comes down and standing rigging is cut away or salvaged. We pull the keel out and credit its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware get spoken for before the fiberglass hull is cut and routed to the processor. For vessels in the water, we run the haul-out and manage the marina conversation so you don't have to coordinate vendors. Whether your sailboat sits in a boatyard, storage lot, or driveway in Yakima, Parker, or Terrace Heights, the process is the same. The steps below show how scheduling works.

A job we ran in Yakima

Ranger 350V removal Yakima WA

18 ft Ranger Removal in Yakima, WA

An 18 ft Ranger 350V sat in a driveway on the east side of Yakima County for three years. The metal-flake hull had faded to a dull matte, the outboard was long gone, and both trailer tires had gone flat. The owner had stopped looking at it after the first year.

How sailboat disposal in Yakima 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 Yakima. 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 Yakima

    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 Yakima sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Yakima?
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 Yakima?
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.
