Professional Boat Removal Services in Arlington, TX
If you have an old, damaged, or non-running boat sitting on your property, EZ Hauling Services provides boat removal and disposal for owners, property managers, marina and storage-facility operators, and estate representatives throughout Arlington and all of Tarrant County. To get started, send the service address, clear photos of the boat and access path, the boat type and approximate length, trailer status, and any site-specific rules or deadlines to request a job-specific quote.
Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal
Our boat removal services include an honest review of the boat's condition before any work is scheduled. We routinely evaluate vessels in a wide range of states — from boats that are simply unwanted or no longer running, to those with significant hull damage, dry rot, storm damage, or long-term neglect. If a boat is sitting on a trailer in a driveway or backyard, parked at a dock, or stored in a commercial lot, we can assess it.
Boat types we review include:
- Motorboats and fishing boats
- Pontoon boats
- Sailboats and sailing dinghies
- Personal watercraft (such as Jet Skis and similar craft)
- Small watercraft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, and paddleboards
- Boat trailers
- Catamarans and other multi-hull vessels
- Yachts (subject to length and access review)
Boats that are submerged, houseboats, vessels over 40 feet, abandoned boats without clear ownership documentation, or those at sites with restricted or unsafe access require additional review before we can schedule a job. If your situation falls into one of these categories, contact us directly so a representative can walk through the details with you.
A junk boat sitting on your property isn't just an eyesore — it can complicate property sales, create liability concerns for commercial operators, and tie up valuable storage space. Whether you need to remove a single junk boat or clear multiple vessels from a facility, the process starts the same way: with photos and a job review.
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
EZ Hauling uses a photo-based estimate process because no two removals are alike. The information you submit shapes every decision — from the method used to remove the boat, to how the job is scheduled and priced. Here is the boat removal process, step by step:
- Submit your information. Provide the service address, photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path (driveway, yard, dock area, or storage site), the boat type and approximate length, motor type if applicable, trailer condition and whether the trailer is included, and any hard deadlines or site rules set by a marina or facility manager.
- Job review. EZ Hauling reviews the photos and details. If the situation is straightforward, we move toward an estimate quickly. If we need more information — or if an on-site assessment is appropriate — we will tell you before quoting.
- Estimate and scope. We provide a written scope and starting estimate based on what the job actually requires. Factors that can affect the final quote include boat length, condition, whether dismantling is needed on site, trailer status, access constraints, and how the boat or resulting material must be transported and disposed of.
- Authorization and documentation review. Depending on the job, there may be ownership, authorization, or facility-access requirements that need to be addressed before we schedule. These vary by situation and are determined during the review — if your situation is unclear, an EZ Hauling representative will walk through it with you.
- Schedule and execute. Once everything is confirmed, we schedule the removal. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow; it is not guaranteed for every job.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Information
EZ Hauling publishes starting prices so you have a realistic frame of reference before requesting a quote. Final pricing is always job-specific.
- Small non-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, paddleboards)
- Starting at $850 flat
- Powered personal watercraft and sailing dinghies
- Starting at $1,200 flat
- Motorboats and sailboats
- A $1,000 minimum applies; the final estimate depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, any on-site dismantling required, transport, and disposal requirements.
A booking deposit of 25% is collected for motorboats and small watercraft; the deposit for sailboats is 35%. The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete.
Factors that can move the estimate higher include restricted or difficult site access, a boat that requires complete on-site dismantling before hauling away, trailer removal, fuel or battery assessment, or transport and facility requirements that apply to a specific job. A large or complex vessel — such as a catamaran or a yacht requiring specialized transport — will be reviewed individually before any rate is quoted. Use the starting prices as a floor, not a ceiling, and submit your photos for an accurate, job-specific quote.
Access, Trailer Status, and Ownership or Authorization Review
Two practical factors affect nearly every removal job: how we get to the boat, and who has the authority to authorize the work.
Access and Site Conditions
When you submit photos, include the full access path from the nearest public road to the boat's current location. A boat in an open driveway is straightforward; a boat in a gated marina, a narrow backyard, a storage facility with height or weight restrictions, or at a dock with limited staging space requires more detailed planning. The photos and access notes you provide let us determine what equipment or procedure may be needed before we commit to a removal window.
If you manage a marina, boatyard, or storage facility, include your site rules, contact information, and any access coordination requirements along with your submission. The job review will account for the commercial nature of the site.
Ownership and Authorization
Documentation and authorization requirements depend on the specific job — they are not the same for every vessel. Texas Parks and Wildlife publishes guidance on boat title, registration, ownership transfer, abandonment, and vessel-destruction procedures, and those state-level requirements may be relevant depending on the boat's ownership status and condition. However, what documentation or authorization you will need for your specific removal cannot be determined from a general checklist. If you are an estate representative clearing a vessel, a property manager handling an abandoned boat, or anyone unsure whether additional authorization is required, speak with an EZ Hauling representative during the estimate conversation to work through the details.
Job-Specific Removal Methods: Haul, Tow, or Dismantle
There is no single mandatory removal method. EZ Hauling selects the approach only after reviewing your photos, the boat's dimensions and condition, trailer status, and the access available at your site.
Depending on what the job calls for, the removal may involve:
- Whole-boat hauling: If the vessel is structurally sound and access allows, the boat may be transported intact to an appropriate facility.
- Towing: A boat on a functional trailer may be towed from the site when that approach fits the access and condition review.
- Complete on-site dismantling: When the vessel cannot be hauled whole — because of its condition, size, or access constraints — the crew may dismantle it entirely on site and then haul away the resulting ordinary debris. This is not a workaround; for some boats, it is the most practical and efficient procedure.
- Off-site salvage, recycling, or disposal routing: When appropriate for a specific job, material may be routed to a salvage yard, recycling facility, or proper disposal site. Facility acceptance must be confirmed for each job; responsible disposal and recycling are considered when the situation supports it, but no specific outcome is guaranteed in advance.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment and coordination as part of the job review. We do not handle hazardous material unconditionally. If your vessel has fuel, an engine with fluids, or other materials that may require special handling, include that information when you submit your photos so it can be factored into the plan.
The heavy lifting, transport logistics, and any on-site work are handled by EZ Hauling crews or verified licensed and insured partners — you do not need to arrange equipment or transport separately.
Serving Arlington and Tarrant County, TX
EZ Hauling Services handles boat removal throughout Arlington, TX, and serves customers in Arlington and surrounding areas across Tarrant County. Arlington sits in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, and the city's mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and proximity to area lakes and waterways means boats turn up in a wide range of settings — driveways, backyards, storage facilities, and dock areas near lakes that surround the region.
Whether your vessel is stored near a park, at a commercial facility, or on a private property downtown or on the city's outskirts, the same process applies: submit photos, location details, and access notes, and EZ Hauling will confirm whether your address falls within the scheduled service area for the job.
Because Tarrant County disposal-facility acceptance rules, fees, and applicable permits are not confirmed through our research, any facility requirements specific to your job will be addressed during the estimate conversation rather than assumed in advance. If any requirement is unclear, a representative will work through it with you before scheduling.
EZ Hauling is fully licensed and insured, and partner crews used on covered jobs are verified as licensed and insured. Marine vessel removal in an active metro area like Arlington requires careful coordination — we plan the job before we show up so the work goes cleanly once we are on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to send to get a quote?
Send the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles and of the access path, the boat type and approximate length, trailer status (included or not, functional or not), and any site rules or hard deadlines. If the boat has fuel, a motor with fluids, or batteries on board, include that in your notes. The more detail you provide upfront, the faster EZ Hauling can return a useful estimate.
How long does it take to schedule a removal after I get a quote?
Scheduling depends on the job's complexity, the access review, and current crew availability. Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow — but it is not guaranteed. After you approve the estimate, an EZ Hauling representative will confirm the available window.
My boat is damaged and non-running. Does that disqualify it from removal?
No — damaged, non-running, and deteriorated boats are among the most common removal requests. Condition affects the method selected and may affect the quote, but a boat that cannot run or float under its own power is still a candidate for removal and disposal through EZ Hauling's job review process.
Do I need to provide ownership documents before the removal is scheduled?
Documentation needs depend entirely on the individual job. Some removals require no additional paperwork; others — particularly boats with unclear ownership or those being cleared from a commercial property or marina — may involve authorization or title-related steps. There is no universal checklist. If you are unsure what your situation requires, speak with an EZ Hauling representative during the estimate process.
Will the crew remove the boat trailer as well?
Trailer removal can be included, but it must be specified during the estimate. Trailer condition — whether it is functional, registered, or deteriorated — affects the removal plan and may affect the quote. Include trailer details and photos when you submit your request.
Does every boat have to be transported whole, or can it be dismantled on site?
The removal method is chosen after the job review, not before. A boat may be hauled whole, towed out on its trailer, or completely dismantled on site with the remaining material hauled away as ordinary debris. For some vessels, on-site dismantling is the most practical approach given the condition or access constraints. Off-site recycling or salvage routing is used when appropriate for that specific job — it is not the default for every boat removal.
