A MacGregor 26 sailboat sat in a Morrisville backyard. The sea-foam green fiberglass hull was heavily oxidized after years in the weather. An adult child inherited the property, and nobody in the family wanted to keep the vessel. They needed the backyard space cleared, so they dialed our crew for boat removal.
The main obstacle was access behind a wooden privacy fence, along with aggressive wasps nesting under the steering console. We put on protective gear and cleared the wasp nest before touching the rig. Our crew unbolted a section of the fence posts, laid down heavy plastic runners to protect the lawn, and winched the hull slowly through the tight opening onto our flatbed trailer.
We hauled the vessel to a yard where the outboard motor and trailer parts were salvaged for steel recycling. The remaining hull was broken down for proper disposal at a scrap yard. Boats over 20 feet are priced over the phone, because size and setting change the work. If you need boat removal in Bucks County, call 833-658-4847.
In our experience, water trapped inside an open sailboat freezes during Pennsylvania winters, cracking the gelcoat and rot-soaking the inner wood supports. We pump out hazardous materials, remove fuel lines, and pull the marine battery before any hull demolition begins.

Questions from the phone this week
How much does it cost to remove a boat?
Boat removal pricing depends on vessel length, location, and ground conditions. Small skiffs on working trailers cost less than sunken or yard-bound cruisers. Call us with your boat details, and we will give you a fair quote based on the actual labor needed to haul it away.
Can you remove a boat without a title?
Yes, we can handle the paperwork when a title is missing. We take the title when you have one, but if it was lost or never issued, we sign a release of liability form. That paperwork documents the transfer so the boat is officially off your name.
