Professional Boat Removal Services in Fort Lauderdale
EZ Hauling Services provides boat removal throughout Fort Lauderdale, FL and the surrounding Broward County area for boat owners, property managers, marina operators, estate representatives, and commercial businesses dealing with an old, damaged, or non-running vessel. To get started, send your address, clear photos of the boat and access path, the boat type, approximate length, trailer status, and any site-specific details—an EZ Hauling representative will review the information and return a job-specific estimate before anything is scheduled.
Boat Conditions and Types Reviewed for Removal
EZ Hauling reviews removal requests for a wide range of boat conditions. Whether the vessel runs or not, the condition is factored into the estimate and removal plan—not used as a reason to decline without review.
- Non-running and engine-damaged boats — boats that cannot be started or moved under their own power
- Storm-damaged or structurally compromised hulls — boats with significant hull damage, rot, or delamination
- Long-stored or neglected boats — vessels sitting in a driveway, backyard, storage yard, or on a trailer for years
- Boats with expired registration or unclear ownership history — documentation needs are determined during the job review; if your situation is unclear, speak directly with an EZ Hauling representative
- Junk boat and end-of-life vessels — boats with little or no resale value that simply need to be cleared from a property
Boat removal services include motorboats, sailboats, pontoons, fishing boats, personal watercraft, small watercraft, catamarans, yachts under 40 feet, and boat trailers. Boats over 40 feet, submerged vessels, and houseboats require additional review before scheduling can be confirmed.
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
Every removal plan starts with a job review—not a generic price list. Here is how the process works from initial contact to scheduling.
- Submit your details. Send the service address, photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, the boat type and approximate length, trailer condition, and any deadline or dock rules that apply to your site.
- Job review. An EZ Hauling representative reviews the photos, boat details, access path, and trailer status. If an on-site assessment is needed before a quote can be confirmed, you will be told that upfront.
- Estimate and removal plan. Once the review is complete, EZ Hauling provides a scope of work and an estimate. The removal method—whether whole-boat hauling, towing, or complete on-site dismantling—is selected based on the individual job, not a fixed procedure.
- Schedule the job. After you accept the estimate and pay the booking deposit, the job is scheduled. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials aboard the vessel require separate assessment and coordination. Do not assume unconditional handling—this is addressed during the review.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
EZ Hauling publishes starting prices so you know the floor before you submit a quote request. The final estimate depends on the specific job.
- 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
- $1,000 minimum; the final quote depends on length, motor type, access conditions, trailer condition, whether dismantling is required, transport logistics, and disposal requirements
Booking Deposits
A 25% deposit is collected at booking for motorboats and small watercraft. For sailboats, the deposit is 35%. The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete. These are the only pricing terms published; per-foot rates and trailer-condition adjustments are not quoted universally—they are part of the job-specific estimate.
Factors that commonly affect the final cost include boat length, access difficulty, trailer condition, whether the vessel must be dismantled on site, haul distance, and whether any off-site routing for salvage, recycling, or disposal is appropriate for that job. Submitting detailed photos and accurate measurements gives EZ Hauling the information needed to return an accurate quote rather than a wide range.
Access, Trailer Status, and Authorization Review
Access conditions directly affect the removal method and the cost. Before scheduling, EZ Hauling needs to understand how the boat can be reached—whether it sits on a trailer in a driveway, rests in a backyard with limited clearance, occupies a dock or slip, or is stored at a commercial facility.
Trailer Condition
If the boat is on a trailer, the trailer's condition matters. A functional, road-legal trailer opens different transport options than a rusted or tire-flat unit that cannot be moved as-is. Include trailer photos and note whether the trailer has functioning lights and tires when you submit your request.
Marina and Storage Facility Coordination
Marina operators and storage facility managers should provide site rules, gate access procedures, and a contact name when requesting a quote. The job review determines whether any authorization documentation is needed to proceed. When the applicable requirements at a specific marina or park are unclear, an EZ Hauling representative can discuss the situation before the estimate is finalized.
Ownership and Authorization
Documentation needs vary by job and are determined during the review process. Florida FLHSMV publishes vessel title and registration procedures, including procedures for vessels that owners choose to junk, but the specific documentation required for any individual removal depends on the job's circumstances. If your situation involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, or missing paperwork, speak directly with an EZ Hauling representative—requirements cannot be generalized across every case.
Removal Methods: What Actually Happens on the Day
There is no single mandatory boat removal process. The method is selected after the job review is complete and depends on the vessel's size, condition, access path, trailer status, and the removal setting.
Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing
When access allows and the hull is intact enough to transport, the boat may be loaded and hauled whole, or towed if the vessel and trailer are in a condition that permits it. This is common for motorboats and sailboats on functional trailers with clear access to a road.
Complete On-Site Dismantling
When a boat cannot be transported whole—due to size, hull condition, access restrictions, or a tight dock or backyard setting—EZ Hauling may dismantle the vessel completely on site. The resulting ordinary debris is then hauled away. This approach handles situations where hauling the boat as a unit is not practical.
Off-Site Routing
When appropriate for a specific job, off-site salvage, recycling, or responsible disposal routing may be part of the plan. This is never presented as mandatory or universal. Facility acceptance and any applicable requirements must be confirmed during the estimate process. No specific facility is named or guaranteed in advance.
The heavy lifting, transport logistics, and hauling away of the vessel or its debris are handled by EZ Hauling's licensed and insured crews or verified licensed and insured partner crews. Proper disposal of remaining material is addressed on a job-specific basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to submit to get a quote?
Send the service address, photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, the boat type, approximate length, trailer status and condition, and any site rules or access restrictions. If there is a project deadline—such as a marina move-out date or an estate closing—include that as well. The more detail you provide, the more accurate your estimate will be.
My boat doesn't run and is in poor condition. Can it still be removed?
Yes. Non-running, damaged, and end-of-life vessels are among the most common removal requests EZ Hauling reviews. Condition affects the removal method and the estimate, but it does not disqualify a boat from review. Submit photos of the current condition and note any known damage so the job review can account for it accurately.
Do I need ownership documents before scheduling?
Documentation needs are determined during the job review and depend on the specific circumstances—vessel type, location, condition, and ownership history all play a role. There is no universal document list that applies to every removal. If your situation involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, or missing paperwork, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before assuming what will or will not be required.
Will the boat be towed away whole, or might it be dismantled on site?
The removal method is selected after the job review, based on photos, access conditions, hull condition, and trailer status. Some boats are hauled whole; others are dismantled completely on site when transport is not practical, with the debris hauled away afterward. No single method applies to every job. The plan is confirmed in the estimate before any work begins.
How quickly can the removal be scheduled?
Same-day or next-day service may be available depending on schedule openings and job conditions, but neither is guaranteed. Once you submit your details and the estimate is accepted, an EZ Hauling representative will confirm a realistic scheduling window based on current availability.
My boat is at a marina that has specific removal rules. Can you still help?
Marine vessel removal from marina and storage facility locations is a routine part of the service. Provide the site's rules, any gate or dock access procedures, and a point of contact when you submit your request. The job review will determine whether any authorization or coordination steps are needed before scheduling. If you are unsure about what the marina requires, that can be discussed with an EZ Hauling representative during the estimate process.
