“Do you need the title before you can touch this thing?” That was the first question a boat owner in Maricopa, AZ asked me when he called about a 2002 walkaround fishing boat. He bought the 22-foot vessel cheap fifteen years ago, parked it on jack stands in a back corner of his yard, and never got it running. Now he wanted his yard back.
The engine had not turned over in over a decade, and the fuel line was cracked clear through. Our crew checked for fuel and oil before moving anything. The yard was tight, and a low power line ran straight across the driveway. After the owner showed us the paperwork in a garage shoebox, he signed the release of liability for the boat removal. We brought in our trailer, rolled the fiberglass hull upright, blocked it, and slid the bunk beds right under the hull. You could tell those jack stands were buried six inches into the dry Arizona dirt by the way the rust had eaten the steel pads.
Our crew hauled the vessel out without touching the overhead wires. We brought it in for proper disposal, where the metal was recycled, usable hardware was salvaged, and the remaining hull went to an approved disposal facility. The owner kept his copy of the signed form, and we left the yard rake-clean. If you have an unwanted vessel sitting on your property in Maricopa, call All Star Hauling at 866-994-1769 for your boat removal.
How the boat removal process works on our jobs
Typically, we see hulls that look decent until you step inside and feel the floor give way under your boots. The desert sun bakes the gelcoat until it chalks, hiding dry rot underneath. For an accurate upfront estimate, send us clear photos of the hull, the boat trailers if there is one, and the path our truck takes to reach the dock or yard.

Before you book boat removal in Maricopa
Do you handle hurricane-damaged boats?
Yes. Our crew handles derelict, storm-damaged, and sunken vessels, even if they are broken apart or sitting in deep mud at a marina. We bring our own trucks and winch gear to get the job done safely.
Can I get rid of a boat without title?
We can often take a junk boat without a title if you own the land where it sits or if you have old registration papers. Property owners can sign our liability release once we verify the details.
Where we remove boats near Maricopa, AZ
We pick up boats across Pinal County, in Eloy, Casa Grande, Coolidge and Florence. Winter brings cool, clear days that make yard work smooth, but years of intense sun cook the wire harnesses, melt plastic fittings, and leave fuel tanks venting fumes. That makes careful handling essential when we pull a non-running boat out of a tight spot.
