Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in San Jose near the Banner Marsh State Fish and Wildlife Area can be tricky. Limited disposal sites are always a problem. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, some prep work is required. We manage the entire process for you, so your boat is ready for disposal without any hassle. Boat removal made simple.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boats left at the Banner Marsh State Fish and Wildlife Area boat launches or along Quiver Creek often sit abandoned after seasons of infrequent use. Owners discover cracked hulls, flooded compartments, or failed engines and have no practical way to haul the vessel out. Removal from these water access points requires specialized rigging and a crew experienced with soft terrain and tight ramp conditions near Grass Lake.

Pontoons and fishing boats stored near Powerton Lake frequently deteriorate faster than owners expect due to wind exposure and fluctuating water levels. When a vessel can no longer be registered or repaired economically, removal becomes urgent. Crews also respond to calls from landowners whose property borders Rice Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area, where abandoned hulls create hazards, and from those retrieving sunken boats from Lake Bloomington.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
