Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in Santa Claus near Patoka Lake 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

Boat removal requests around Santa Claus often start at Lake Rudolph, where aging pontoons and motorboats sit at camp resort docks well past their useful life. Owners at Christmas Lake Village also call us regularly when waterlogged hulls become a liability on private lifts or along eroded shorelines. Storm damage and neglect are the leading reasons families reach out for professional removal help.

Further out in Spencer County, hauls from Patoka Lake involve vessels that sank or were abandoned at public ramps and coves, requiring crane work and careful extraction before trailering. The Indiana 245 corridor sees pickups from rural storage lots where trailers have rotted away beneath old fishing boats. Whether the job calls for a water extraction or a straightforward driveway load, our crews handle every scenario with proper documentation.

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).
