Dale's take on Green Bay

I get calls from two kinds of boat owners in Green Bay. One watched the mast come down one fall and never went back up. The boat sat on the trailer behind the garage in Brown County, the rigging corroded, the sails still folded in the cabin. He'd look at it sometimes. His wife stopped looking years ago. The other owned a slip at a local marina where the fees kept climbing every spring. The boat wasn't worth what he paid to keep it there, and selling meant finding a buyer who'd show up with cash. Neither happened.

We haul old sailboats out of slips, storage lots, and driveways from Green Bay to Allouez and Ashwaubenon on the same trip. We rig down what needs rigging down, load the hull, and tow it start to finish. Missing paperwork, no title, registration lapsed three years ago, doesn't matter. The crew handles it. Details on what happens next are on the sailboat disposal page.

What's covered

What sailboat disposal covers in Green Bay

Sailboat disposal in Green Bay means we handle the full breakdown. The mast comes down, standing rigging gets cut away or salvaged, and we haul the keel out at our yard, crediting its scrap value against your cost. Usable sails, winches, and hardware are spoken for before the fiberglass hull moves to the processor. For vessels in the water, we run the haul-out and manage the marina or boatyard conversation so you don't have to. We cover pickups from storage lots and driveways too. Whether your boat sits in Howard, De Pere, or anywhere around Green Bay, the process steps below show how scheduling works.

How sailboat disposal in Green Bay 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 Green Bay. 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 Green Bay

    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 Wisconsin sailboat disposal pricing section.

Common questions about Green Bay sailboat disposal

How much does it cost to get rid of a sailboat in Green Bay?
Depends on hull length, keel type, and where it sits. The pricing section above shows the range for Green Bay. 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 Green Bay?
Whatever the paperwork situation, the pickup still happens. The legal specifics for Wisconsin 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.
