Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Taking care of unwanted boats in Vistula demands experience, equipment, and a trusted boat removal team. Partially submerged boats on Pretty Lake require pumps, cranes, or heavy-duty trailers to remove. Professionals have the equipment and expertise to handle this without further sinking or spills. Strict Vistula and Indiana disposal laws, towing challenges, and local codes can slow down the process of boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Vistula residents 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 near the Bristol Boat Launch staging area, 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

Owners along the Elkhart River frequently need boats pulled from the water after storm damage or engine failure leaves vessels stranded near the Bristol Boat Launch. Sunken hulls in Baugo Bay present some of the most demanding recoveries in the area, requiring pumps and cranes to safely lift waterlogged boats without further environmental impact.

Abandoned pontoons and aging motorboats stored near Bonneyville Mill County Park are another common call, as owners discover that aging vessels have become too costly to repair or register. Families with property on Pretty Lake also reach out after inheriting old boats, and crews carefully remove those vessels from lifts and shoreline storage while keeping Christiana Creek access clear during haul out.

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).
