Boat Types and Conditions We Review for Removal
Our boat removal services include a wide range of vessel types and conditions. Whether you have a junk boat sitting in your yard or a sailboat that has been out of the water for years, we review each situation individually before scheduling.
Types of Boats
- Motorboats and outboard runabouts
- Sailboats and sailing dinghies
- Pontoon boats
- Fishing boats
- Personal watercraft such as Jet Skis and WaveRunners
- Small watercraft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, and paddleboards
- Boats stored on trailers
- Catamaran and multi-hull vessels
- Yacht and larger recreational vessels (subject to additional review)
Common Conditions
- Non-running or mechanically failed boats
- Storm damage or flood damage
- Rotted, fiberglass-cracked, or structurally compromised hulls
- Boats that have been sitting in storage facilities for years
- Abandoned vessels on residential or commercial property
- Boats with missing titles or unclear ownership status (reviewed case by case)
- Vessels with restricted or difficult access
Submerged boats, houseboats, vessels over 40 feet, and boats with unsafe access conditions require additional review before we can schedule a removal. If fuel, oil, batteries, or other hazardous materials are present, those require a separate assessment and coordination during the job review.
The Photo-Based Estimate and Removal-Planning Process
Every boat removal in Metairie starts with a photo-based estimate. There is no universal procedure that fits every job, so the boat removal process is built around the specific details you provide.
- Submit your information. Send the service address, clear photos of the boat and the access path, the boat type and approximate length, the condition, trailer status, any deadline, and site rules such as marina access hours or property restrictions.
- Review and scope. EZ Hauling reviews your submission, determines whether additional documentation or an on-site assessment is needed, and identifies the removal method that fits your job.
- Receive your estimate. You get a scoped quote before anything is scheduled. Pricing depends on the factors specific to your boat, not a one-size-fits-all rate.
- Schedule the removal. Once you approve the estimate and pay the booking deposit, we coordinate a removal window. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow, though neither is guaranteed.
- Removal and completion. The crew executes the approved plan. The remaining balance is not collected until the job is complete.
If any requirement—such as an authorization step or a documentation need—is unclear at the time of your inquiry, an EZ Hauling representative can work through the details with you before the job is scheduled.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
EZ Hauling uses starting prices as a baseline. The final quote reflects the actual scope of your job, so the figures below are not a universal rate card.
- 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
- Starting at $1,000; the final estimate depends on length, motor type, access, trailer condition, dismantling requirements, transport, and disposal routing.
Deposit and Balance Terms
- Motorboats and small watercraft: 25% booking deposit, balance due after job completion.
- Sailboats: 35% booking deposit, balance due after job completion.
Factors That Can Change Your Quote
The factors below can raise or lower the final cost of your removal. Providing accurate information up front keeps the estimate as precise as possible.
- Boat length and hull type
- Whether a trailer is included and its condition
- Access constraints—narrow driveways, gated storage lots, dock restrictions, or soft ground
- The extent of structural damage and whether on-site dismantling is required
- Motor type and the presence of fuel, oil, or batteries requiring separate handling
- Off-site transport, salvage, or disposal routing when appropriate for the job
- Any authorization or documentation steps identified during the review
For an affordable, job-specific quote rather than a rough estimate, submit photos and boat details through the online quote form.
Access, Trailer Condition, and Authorization Review
Access conditions and trailer status directly affect the removal plan and the final quote. Before scheduling, EZ Hauling needs to understand how the boat can realistically be reached and moved.
Access Factors We Evaluate
- Driveway width and clearance for the hauling crew
- Gate codes, marina access rules, or facility check-in procedures
- Dock or slip access and any port or site restrictions
- Ground conditions that may affect how the crew can maneuver
- Overhead obstructions or tight turns
Trailer Condition
If the boat is on a trailer, the trailer's condition—whether it rolls, has working lights, or has structural issues—affects the removal method selected and the final pricing. Include photos of the trailer when you submit your estimate request.
Ownership and Authorization
Documentation needs vary by job. Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries administers boat registration and title procedures in the state, and original ownership documentation may be relevant for certain transactions. However, what is actually required for your specific removal depends on the individual job review and may require a conversation with an EZ Hauling representative. No universal document checklist applies to every situation. If you are an estate representative, a property manager, or a marina operator dealing with an abandoned vessel, discuss the specifics with the EZ Hauling team before assuming what documentation is or is not needed.
How the Removal Method Is Selected
No single removal workflow applies to every boat. The method EZ Hauling selects depends on your boat's size, condition, access, trailer status, and the removal setting reviewed during the estimate process.
Possible Removal Approaches
- Whole-boat hauling: When the boat and trailer can be safely moved as a unit, the crew may haul the vessel off the property intact.
- Towing: For boats that can be towed by trailer to a staging or off-site location, tow-out may be the appropriate method.
- Complete on-site dismantling: When a junk boat cannot be moved in one piece—due to size, structural damage, or access—the crew may dismantle it fully on site and then haul the remaining ordinary debris away. This is a legitimate removal outcome, not a lesser option.
- Off-site salvage, recycling, or disposal routing: When appropriate for the specific job, materials may be routed off site for salvage, recycling, or proper disposal. This is not a universal outcome; facility acceptance must be confirmed during the estimate process.
Responsible disposal and proper handling of materials are part of the job review. If recycling or eco-friendly routing is a priority for you, mention it when you submit your photos and boat details so it can be factored into the plan where feasible.
Serving Metairie and All of Jefferson Parish
EZ Hauling Services is fully licensed and insured, and any partner crews used to complete a covered job are verified as licensed and insured as well. We handle the heavy lifting so boat owners, property managers, and businesses throughout Metairie can move forward without coordinating multiple vendors.
Metairie is Jefferson Parish's most populous city, and properties across Jefferson Parish vary widely in layout, access, and site conditions. Waterway proximity, commercial marina rules, and storage-facility policies all affect how a removal is planned. Because no county disposal facility acceptance, fee schedule, or local permit requirement has been independently verified for Jefferson Parish at this time, those details are confirmed during the estimate process rather than assumed in advance.
Whether you are managing a residential property, running a marina, clearing an estate, or overseeing a commercial cleanup, customers in Metairie can reach EZ Hauling to discuss the specifics of their situation. If you are nearby in Jefferson Parish but outside Metairie's city limits, service is available subject to address and job review.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to request a boat removal quote?
Send the service address, clear photos of the boat and the access path, the boat type, approximate length, condition, trailer status, and any deadline or site rules. The more complete your submission, the more accurate the estimate. The boat removal process cannot be fully scoped until photos and details are reviewed.
My boat is damaged and non-running—does that affect whether you can remove it?
Not necessarily. EZ Hauling reviews damaged, non-running, and structurally compromised boats. The condition does affect which removal method is appropriate and may affect pricing, but a non-running boat is not automatically excluded. Submit photos and describe the damage so the job review can confirm feasibility.
Does a junk boat on a trailer require separate handling?
Yes. The trailer's condition—whether it rolls freely, has structural damage, or lacks working components—affects the removal method and the quote. Include close-up photos of the trailer when you submit your estimate request. Trailer removal can be included in the scope when appropriate.
Will I need to provide ownership or authorization documents?
Documentation needs depend on the individual job. Louisiana administers boat registration and title requirements through Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries, and some jobs involve authorization steps that must be addressed before scheduling. There is no single checklist that applies to every removal. If your situation involves an estate, an abandoned vessel, or unclear ownership, speak with an EZ Hauling representative to work through what may be needed.
How quickly can you schedule the removal?
Same-day or next-day service may be available when the schedule and job conditions allow, but neither is guaranteed. Timing depends on crew availability, your location in Metairie or across Jefferson Parish, and the complexity of the job. Provide your preferred window in your quote request and we will confirm what is realistic.
Can the boat be dismantled on site instead of hauled out whole?
Yes. Complete on-site dismantling is a legitimate removal method for boats that cannot be moved in one piece. If the boat is a junk boat removal candidate due to severe structural damage or restricted access, the crew may dismantle it fully on site and haul away the remaining debris. The method is selected after photos, access conditions, and the boat's dimensions are reviewed—not before.
