The narrow fairway behind the marina office left barely enough room to swing our tow rig around. That slip had held a 27 foot express cruiser with twin engines since the previous owner stopped paying rent, and the front desk needed the slip cleared before the spring boating rush.
She was a heavy vessel with a cabin full of mildew and a head deep in standing water. Because the marina did not own the boat, we worked out who had the right to let it go before moving a tool, and the property owners signed the release of liability. Our crew checked for hazardous fluids first, then pumped the bilge clean at the dock so she would float right. We coaxed her over to the boat ramp and winched her onto our trailer. When you look at old bunk boards, you can tell right away if the wood is rotted through under the carpet, so we adjusted our supports to hold the hull true.
The metal was recycled, usable mechanical parts were salvaged, and the crushed fiberglass went to an approved disposal facility. The slip was empty by noon, and the office got their waterfront space back. If you have an unwanted boat sitting in Kissimmee or anywhere in Osceola County, call our team at 866-994-1769.
Why we look for leaks before anything else
Typically, we check the wheel hubs on boat trailers before we pull them onto the street. A rusty spindle or a cracked tire wall tells us if those axles will turn safely or if we need to load the whole rig onto our flatbed. Florida sun bakes trailer tires from the outside in, even when a vessel stays parked in the shade.

What callers in Kissimmee want to know
How does boat disposal, recycling & salvage work?
Our crew hauls your vessel away on our trailer and takes it apart at our facility. We drain hazardous fluids, salvage usable hardware, recycle the scrap metal, and send the remaining fiberglass hull to an approved landfill for proper disposal.
Can you get a boat out of my backyard?
Yes, we pull non-running junk boat models out of backyards, side yards, and storage lots routinely. If the boat sits on blocks or a damaged trailer, our licensed and insured crew brings the equipment needed to load it up.
Where we remove boats near Kissimmee, FL
We pick up boats across Osceola County, in St. Cloud, Celebration and Buenaventura Lakes. February gives us dry ground to work on, but months of trapped rain still sit in the foam under the deck, making derelict hulls far heavier than the factory manual says.
