Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Lafayette residents along the Embarras River are discovering that an old, dilapidated boat past its prime isn't easy to get off their hands. The large size and heavy weight of many boats are definitely a challenge while transporting. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, we manage the crushing or demolition so you don’t have to worry about it. We handle it all - you just relax.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Boat removal around Lafayette most often starts at Lake Charleston, where aging pontoons and waterlogged hulls need to be hauled off deteriorating docks or pulled from shallow coves. The Embarras River also generates steady calls, particularly after seasonal flooding leaves runabouts and jon boats stranded on muddy banks. Owners in these situations typically need a full service crew with pumps, trailers, and proper disposal paperwork.
Fox Ridge State Park draws boaters to its river access, and each season a handful of vessels are abandoned or rendered unsalvageable near its launch areas, requiring professional extraction. In Coles County, storage yards holding long forgotten boats are another common source of removal requests, especially when estates change hands or HOA notices arrive. Our team handles each scenario from first call through eco conscious disposal.
