- Costly fines for environmental contamination and debris
- Rising recovery expenses as the boat sinks deeper or breaks apart

What happens to my boat after it’s picked up, or removed?
What happens to my boat after it’s picked up is the best question in boat removal. At Boat Removal Service we assume full liability and ownership of your vessel via title transfer, USCG bill of sale notarized, and contracted agreement. After hiring us, we initially assess and determine the vessels conclusion. Determining factors do take into consideration many things such as vessel location; most vessels are transported to our boat junkyards for storage and slotted for destruction, dismantled onsite, parted out at recycling facilities or destructed and dumped. Almost all boat’s are handled differently in one way or another, and yet the same in many aspects. Materials are responsibly recycled if applicable, or fully disposed of if needed. All of our practices aim at keeping waterways clean and safe, and keeping customers bottom line at heart. Get Next Steps Here.

Can I light my fiberglass boat on fire?
Burning a Fiberglass Boat Is Not a Good Look
The short answer is no; that might be considered arson. Lighting a boat on fire is not recommended at all, a large fiberglass object does not react the same as wood in your fire pit, not even close. If you think the junk boat was ugly before, well it gets uglier.
This may seem like a strange question, but past customers have called on us to remove a burnt vessel most likely due to unforeseen circumstances. How it was burnt is not our business, disposing of it is.
Examples of Boats Not Intentionally Burnt
Although, many of the boat fires happen accidentally or from electrical issues gone wrong; there are also those who ask the question… can I just burn my boat?


When a boat is lit on fire it just morphs into an uglier version of what it was before the boat roast.
Also, if the boats on fire in shallow water, it’s worse… the weight of the boat melts downward making the boat bottom heavy, less buoyant and all the more difficult to remove and maneuver… which means a more costly boat removal service.
Does Boat Removal Service recycle boats?
We Recycle, Salvage or Repurpose Boats
Yes, we recycle and salvage boats and sailboats. Before disposing of a boat our team will determine the recyclability of the vessel.
Does Boat Removal Service take sailboats?
Yes, we take all sailboats in every corner of the US, from the water floating or sinking to boat stands in your yard, driveway or at the marina or storage facility. Let Your Old Sailboat Go.





Does Boat Removal Service take small boats, jet skis and wave runners?
Yes Boat Removal Service picks up small boats, junk boat debris, jet skis, wave runners and any water craft. Schedule Your Small Boats Pickup.






What if my boat trailer is broken, or the tires are flat?
No Problem. Many of the boats we remove are sitting on broken trailers. Our team will arrive with the right equipment and your boats removal will continue untethered. Broken unroadworthy trailers are expected. If a boat is on a trailer that is to go with the boat; a coordinator will ask the roadworthiness of the boats trailer (if applicable), and our team will arrive with the proper equipment.
