Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal
Our boat removal services include a wide range of vessel types and conditions. Whether a boat has been sitting in a backyard for years or is blocking a dock after storm damage, a job review determines whether removal is feasible and how to plan it.
Boat Types Reviewed
- Motorboats and runabouts
- Sailboats and sailing dinghies
- Pontoon boats
- Fishing boats
- Personal watercraft (jet skis and similar)
- Small watercraft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, and paddle boats
- Catamarans and other multi-hull vessels
- Yachts and larger recreational vessels (subject to additional review)
- Boat trailers
Submerged boats, houseboats, boats over 40 feet, and vessels with unclear ownership or restricted access all require additional review before we can schedule. Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials are assessed separately during the job review and are not handled unconditionally. If your situation is unusual, speak with an EZ Hauling representative before submitting photos.
Common Conditions
- Non-running or inoperable boats with engine or hull problems
- Storm-damaged, flooded, or structurally compromised hulls
- Boats with deteriorated fiberglass, rot, or significant corrosion
- Vessels on trailers in poor or unknown condition
- Abandoned boats on private property, storage lots, or marina slips
- Boats in restricted-access locations such as gated yards or crowded driveways
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
A reliable removal plan for any junk boat or unwanted vessel starts with accurate information—not a generic quote. Here is how the boat removal process works:
- Submit your details. Send the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles and of the access path, the boat type and approximate length, the engine or motor type if applicable, the current condition, trailer status, and any deadline or site rules that apply.
- Job review. EZ Hauling reviews the photos and details to determine feasibility, confirm whether an on-site assessment is needed, and identify any situation-specific requirements—including whether any ownership, authorization, or other documentation review is warranted before scheduling.
- Scope and estimate. Once the review is complete, we provide a written scope and a job-specific estimate before any work is scheduled.
- Schedule removal. After you approve the estimate and submit the booking deposit, we coordinate timing, access, and crew. Same-day or next-day availability may be possible when scheduling and job conditions allow; it is not guaranteed.
- Removal and completion. The crew arrives, executes the approved removal method, and collects the remaining balance only after the job is done.
EZ Hauling is fully licensed and insured. When a job is fulfilled by a partner crew, those crews are verified as licensed and insured as well. Transparent communication at every stage means you know what to expect before any heavy lifting begins.
Pricing, Deposits, and Factors That Affect Your Quote
Boat removal pricing is job-specific. The starting prices below are the minimum thresholds; your actual quote depends on a combination of factors reviewed during the estimate process.
Starting Prices
- 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; final estimate depends on job specifics
Deposit Terms
- Motorboats and small watercraft: 25% deposit at booking
- Sailboats: 35% deposit at booking
- The remaining balance is collected only after the job is complete.
Factors That Can Change the Estimate
The cost of removing a vessel from a Hollywood, FL property is not one-size-fits-all. Key variables include:
- Boat length and overall size
- Motor type and whether it is still attached
- Hull material and overall condition
- Trailer condition and whether the trailer is included in the removal
- Access to the removal site (driveway width, overhead clearance, soft ground, dock configuration)
- Whether on-site dismantling is required versus whole-boat transport
- Off-site routing requirements appropriate to that specific job
- Any hazardous-material assessment needed for fuel, oil, or batteries
Do not use the starting prices above as a final quote. Submit your photos and details to get an accurate, job-specific number. For an affordable rate that reflects the actual scope, the estimate is the right starting point.
Access, Trailer Condition, and Ownership or Authorization Review
Two of the most common factors that affect scheduling and method selection are site access and trailer condition. A boat sitting on a functional trailer in an open driveway is a very different job from one stored beside a seawall, behind a fence, or in a tight marina slip. Photos of both the boat and the access path help us plan before the crew arrives.
For boats on trailers, the trailer's structural condition, tire condition, and whether it is registered or tagged are all relevant. The estimate review will address whether the trailer is included, whether it can be towed, and whether it requires separate handling.
Depending on the specific situation—particularly for abandoned vessels, estate-owned boats, or marina-coordinated removals—ownership or authorization questions may arise during the job review. Documentation needs vary by job and are determined during the review process. If the applicable requirements are unclear before you submit, or if you are managing a commercial property removal or marina slip clearance, speaking with an EZ Hauling representative directly is the right next step. Call (888) 401-7041 to discuss the situation before submitting photos.
Florida's vessel title and registration procedures, including procedures for vessels being junked by owners, are published by FLHSMV; the requirements for any specific job still depend on a case review. EZ Hauling does not resolve title disputes or guarantee legal clearance, but we can help identify what questions to address during the estimate process.
Removal Method: Hauling, Towing, or On-Site Dismantling
There is no single mandatory removal method. The approved approach for your boat is selected only after reviewing photos, the vessel's dimensions and condition, trailer status, and the specifics of the removal site. Here is what the method selection may involve:
Whole-Boat Hauling or Towing
When access allows and the boat is structurally sound enough to transport intact, the crew may haul or tow the vessel in one piece. This is practical for boats on road-ready trailers with adequate access to a public road.
Complete On-Site Dismantling
For boats that cannot be moved whole—due to deteriorated hulls, blocked access, size, or site configuration—complete on-site dismantling may be the right approach. After the vessel is broken down on site, the remaining ordinary debris is hauled away. This method does not require transport of the full hull and is often the practical choice for boats in tight backyards, narrow docks, or storage areas with overhead obstructions.
Off-Site Routing
When off-site salvage, recycling, or disposal routing is appropriate for the specific job, EZ Hauling coordinates that routing as part of the removal plan. Responsible disposal is handled on a job-by-job basis; no universal recycling outcome or zero-landfill claim is made. Acceptance by any off-site facility must be confirmed as part of the estimate process.
The crew assigned to your job handles the physical work—whether that means operating a trailer, breaking down material on site, or hauling away the remains after dismantling. The method is agreed upon before work begins, not decided on arrival.
Serving Hollywood and All of Broward County, FL
EZ Hauling provides boat removal services in Hollywood, FL and operates throughout Hollywood and all of Broward County as part of a confirmed service area that spans 25 states. Hollywood's position along the South Florida coast, with its mix of residential canals, marina facilities, storage lots, and waterfront properties, means that boat removal jobs here can involve a wide variety of access and site conditions.
Marine vessel removal in a coastal city like Hollywood often means navigating narrow side yards, canal-adjacent properties, or commercial port-adjacent storage facilities. Because local site conditions vary, the estimate process is where access challenges, waterway proximity, and any site-specific rules are identified. We do not assume what access looks like—we confirm it from your photos and notes before scheduling.
Whether you are a homeowner trying to remove a junk boat from your driveway or backyard, a business clearing storage facilities for new inventory, or a marina manager coordinating a slip clearance, the process starts the same way: submit the details, get a scoped estimate, and schedule when the plan is confirmed. Customers in Hollywood and across Broward County receive the same photo-based, job-reviewed approach that makes our quotes accurate and our removals practical.
If you are unsure whether your property or situation falls within the confirmed service area, or if access or condition factors make the job complex, call (888) 401-7041 before submitting to discuss the situation with a representative.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to submit to get an estimate?
Send your service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles and of the full access path, the boat type and approximate length, motor or engine type if applicable, current condition, trailer status (present, functional, or absent), and any relevant site rules or project deadlines. The more detail you provide upfront, the more accurate the initial quote will be. Incomplete submissions may require a follow-up before we can produce a scoped estimate.
Can you remove a boat that is non-running, damaged, or in poor condition?
Yes, damaged, non-running, and deteriorated vessels are reviewed for removal. Condition affects the method selection and the estimate—a boat that cannot be towed may require on-site dismantling, and significant structural damage affects how the crew works. Submit photos so the job review can account for the specific condition. Boats with submerged sections, houseboats, and vessels over 40 feet require additional review before scheduling.
Do I need specific documents before scheduling?
Documentation needs depend entirely on the individual job. Abandoned boats, estate-owned vessels, marina-coordinated removals, and boats without clear ownership history may involve authorization or ownership questions that need to be addressed before work begins. We do not publish a universal document checklist because requirements vary. If your situation is complex, speak with an EZ Hauling representative directly so we can help you understand what may be needed for your specific job.
Is same-day or next-day service available?
Same-day or next-day removal may be possible when the schedule and job conditions allow—but it is not guaranteed. Schedule availability depends on current job volume, crew routing, and whether the job review is complete. Submit your details as early as possible if timing is important, and note any hard deadlines in your submission.
What happens to my boat after removal?
The off-site routing for your boat—whether that involves salvage, recycling, or disposal—is determined on a job-by-job basis and confirmed as part of the removal plan. For some jobs, on-site dismantling followed by hauling away ordinary debris is the practical outcome. Off-site routing to a salvage or recycling facility is used only when appropriate and when facility acceptance is confirmed. EZ Hauling does not make universal recycling promises or guarantee specific environmental outcomes for every job.
Does EZ Hauling handle the trailer as well as the boat?
Trailer removal can be included depending on the trailer's condition and the scope of the job. Whether the trailer is road-worthy, rusted, or structurally compromised affects how it is handled and whether it can be towed or must be addressed separately. Include the trailer's condition and photos in your estimate submission and note whether you want it removed along with the boat.
