First thing I checked when I walked up to that 28-foot express cruiser in Paradise was the belly of the hull, right where the fiberglass meets the jack stands. A man named Arthur called us because he bought the dual-engine vessel cheap fifteen years ago, stuck it in a back corner of his yard, and never got it running.
The battery in the bilge was leaking acid into the sump, and twenty gallons of gas had turned into something that smelled like old varnish. We had to pump those fluids clear before anything else moved. The low power line crossing the driveway meant no high crane arms. We rolled the vessel upright, reset the support blocks, and backed our trailer straight underneath, using a low-slung hydraulic tongue that keeps the deck clear of overhead cables. Arthur found his registration in an old shoebox in the garage, and the property owners signed the release of liability right on the spot when booking our boat removal services.
We took the non-running hull away on our own rig. Any usable metal gear was pulled for salvage, and the rest went to a facility licensed for proper disposal of old boat bodies. We left Arthur with a swept yard and his copy of the signed paperwork. If you have abandoned unwanted vessels on your land, call 866-994-1769 for our boat removal process.
Boat removal services, from the first photo to the last strap
Usually, we tell folks in Nevada that cool January days are the best time for boat removal before the sun bakes the deck gelcoat into dust. Years of dry air freeze steering cables inside their sheaths and rot old winches. For an accurate estimate, send photos showing the whole side of the hull, any rust on the boat trailers, and the exact path our truck must drive.

Questions about boat disposal in Paradise, NV
How do I get rid of my boat?
Send us photos of the vessel and where it sits so we can calculate an upfront estimate for you. Our crew checks for hazardous fluids, manages the boat removal process from your dock or yard, handles the recycling, and takes the hull away.
Do you take the trailer too?
We take boat trailers along with the vessel whenever you want them cleared out. If the tires are dry-rotted or the frame is rusted through, our junk removal team handles the entire haul away so nothing remains on your property.
