The owners in Jupiter needed their back yard cleared before moving into a condo, and this 18 foot bass boat had been sitting on jack stands in the corner for years. The husband told me he just wanted the grass back and the space open so they could finish selling the house.
The floor was full of soft spots, and the transom had pulled clean away from the stringers, meaning this non-running vessel was never going to float or haul whole again. Before moving a thing, we made sure the right person signed the release of liability for the abandoned boat. We checked the motor for leaks and fluids so no oil hit the grass. A low overhead power line crossed the driveway, so pulling a tall rig through was out. Our crew cut the fiberglass hull apart right there on the stands, load by load, and used our trailer to take the heavy debris out without touching that overhead wire.
We brought the metal hardware, including the trolling motor, to a salvage yard for recycling, while the destroyed fiberglass went straight to a disposal facility. The owners were left with a flat patch of yard and an official receipt showing the boat was gone. If you have unwanted vessels sitting in Jupiter or elsewhere in Palm Beach County, call us at 866-994-1769 for your boat removal.
Boat removal services, from the first photo to the last strap
Typically, we find that boat removal process jobs in March get easier traction on dry ground, but water trapped inside the hull foam from previous rainstorms still adds heavy dead weight. When you ask for an estimate, sending photos of the whole vessel, the trailer tires, and the full pathway to the street lets us set our upfront pricing accurately before our truck arrives.

Jupiter owners ask about boat removal
Can I get rid of a boat without title?
Yes, property owners or legal caretakers can schedule a boat removal without a standard title once we verify who has the legal right to surrender the vessel. We handle the paperwork release before our crew moves any junk boat off your land.
Do you handle hurricane-damaged boats?
Yes, our crew handles removal and disposal for derelict, storm-damaged, and sunken boats across Florida. We extract wrecked vessels from a dock, marina, or yard, dismantle the fiberglass frame if it cannot roll, and haul the remnants away for proper disposal.
From storage lots to docks in Palm Beach County
We pick up boats across Palm Beach County, in Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Wellington and Boca Raton. Spring weather brings mild temperatures that help us work fast, but months of trapped moisture mean old hulls need careful dismantling so dirty water does not spill across your waterfront driveway.
