The boats nobody else will take.

Because that is where the rest of the market stops. Below about 28 feet a boat can usually go on a standard trailer behind a standard truck, and plenty of companies handle that well. Above it you need lifts, permits, mast work and a yard - and most outfits that advertise 'any size' quietly decline once they see the boat. We built the equipment list and the yard relationships around the jobs everyone else refuses. That said, we are perfectly happy to take a smaller boat as well - it is simply a much easier day for us, and we will price it accordingly.

Almost always because the two quotes are not for the same job. A flat per-foot figure covers the easy version - a boat that floats, in a slip a lift can reach, mast already down, nothing hazardous aboard. The mast, the keel, the tow, the DOT permit, the crane and the landfill tonnage get added afterwards, once you have paid a deposit and the boat is in pieces. Ask the other company for a fixed, written, all-in price that names those items. If they will give you one at that number, take it - we would rather you did than felt pressured out of a better deal. See the rates page for a line-by-line comparison.

Sixty feet. Above that you are into heavy-lift territory where the work realistically has to happen at a full-service marina or boatyard with its own large travel lift and deep water alongside - the vessel often cannot be moved to us at all. If your boat is over 60 feet, call anyway and we will tell you which facilities in your area can actually do it. We would rather refer you than take a deposit on a job we should not be quoting.

Yes. Our equipment and expertise are built around larger vessels, but a smaller boat is a straightforward job for the same crew and we are glad to do it - particularly if it is alongside a larger removal, on the same property, or somewhere we are already working. Call and describe it. If a general junk-removal company would genuinely be cheaper for you, we will say so.

We publish our rates. Removal is banded by length overall: up to 25 ft is $50-80 per foot, 25-28 ft is $80-100, 28-32 ft is $100-150, 32-36 ft is $150-200, and over 36 ft is quoted from $200 per foot after an on-site assessment. Full-keel and deep-draft vessels are billed at 1.3 times the applicable rate. On-water towing is $300 per hour, raising a sunken vessel runs $600-4,000 and refloating a grounding runs $600-2,000. The rates page shows worked examples, what the per-foot rate covers, and what is billed separately.
