Professional Boat Removal Services in West Palm Beach
EZ Hauling Services provides boat removal throughout West Palm Beach, FL for boat owners, property managers, marina and storage facility managers, estate representatives, and businesses that need a practical removal plan — send your address, clear photos of the boat and the access path, the approximate length, condition, trailer status, and any site rules to request a job-specific estimate or call (888) 401-7041.
Boat Conditions and Types We Review for Removal
EZ Hauling reviews boats across a wide range of conditions. A vessel does not need to be running, registered, or in good shape for us to evaluate it. Common situations include boats that have been sitting on a trailer in a driveway or backyard for years, watercraft left at a dock or marina slip, and boats that sustained storm or flood damage. Estate and property clearance jobs are also common, particularly when a deadline is attached to a property sale or turnover.
Boat types reviewed for removal include:
- Motorboats and center-console fishing boats
- Sailboats and sailing dinghies
- Pontoon boats
- Personal watercraft (jet skis and similar)
- Small non-powered watercraft — kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, and paddleboards
- Catamarans and multi-hull vessels
- Yachts and larger pleasure craft (subject to additional review)
- Boat trailers, with or without the boat attached
Certain situations require extra review before scheduling. Submerged boats, houseboats, vessels over 40 feet, boats without clear ownership documentation, and locations with difficult or unsafe access all fall into this category. If your situation is complicated, the review process is where those details get sorted out — not after the crew arrives.
How the Boat Removal Process Works
The boat removal process starts with information, not assumptions. Before any removal method is selected or a schedule is set, EZ Hauling reviews what you submit to make sure the right plan is in place.
- Submit your details. Provide the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, approximate boat length, boat type, engine or motor information if applicable, trailer condition, and any deadline or site-specific rules.
- Job review. EZ Hauling reviews the photos and details to determine access requirements, the appropriate removal method, and whether an on-site assessment or additional information is needed before scheduling.
- Estimate and scope. Once the review is complete, you receive a written scope and price estimate. The removal method, timing, and any situation-specific requirements are confirmed before any work begins.
- Scheduling. Once the estimate is accepted and the deposit is received, the job is scheduled. Same-day or next-day service may be available when scheduling and job conditions allow, but is not guaranteed.
- Removal. The approved crew — EZ Hauling or a verified licensed and insured partner — completes the removal using the method confirmed in the estimate. The remaining balance is collected only after the job is complete.
This photo-based estimate approach means nothing is assumed about your boat's condition, access path, or removal needs until the actual information is in front of the team. That protects you from surprises on the day of service.
Transparent Pricing and Deposit Terms
EZ Hauling publishes starting prices so you know roughly where a job begins. The final estimate depends on the specific details of your boat, its condition, access, trailer situation, the selected removal method, transport requirements, and any disposal considerations that come up during the job review.
- Small non-powered watercraft (kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, paddleboards)
- Starting at $850 flat. Deposit: 25% at booking.
- Powered personal watercraft and sailing dinghies
- Starting at $1,200 flat. Deposit: 25% at booking.
- Motorboats and sailboats
- Minimum starting at $1,000. Final pricing depends on length, motor type, access conditions, trailer condition, dismantling scope, transport distance, and disposal requirements. Deposit: 35% for sailboats, 25% for motorboats, collected at booking. Balance is due only after the job is complete.
The key factors that can move a quote upward include a long boat with a large motor, a trailer that needs separate handling, difficult site access requiring special equipment, on-site dismantling scope, or material and disposal considerations identified during the review. Pricing is job-specific — submit your photos and details for an accurate quote rather than using the starting rate as a final cost.
If cost is a concern and your situation is flexible on timing, mention that when you submit your request. It will not change the estimate process, but the team can discuss options during the review.
Access, Trailers, and Ownership or Authorization Review
Access conditions are one of the most important factors in planning a boat removal. A vessel sitting in an open driveway is a straightforward job. A boat stored behind a locked gate, inside a covered commercial storage facility, or at a marina slip with specific dock rules adds coordination requirements that must be worked out before the crew arrives.
When you submit your request, include photos of the access path — not just the boat. Note whether there are gates, low clearances, weight-restricted surfaces, or any site rules that apply. Marina and storage facility managers should include the facility's contact information and any access or scheduling requirements. That information allows EZ Hauling to build an access-aware removal plan before anything is confirmed.
Trailer Condition
A trailer in working condition with good tires and functioning lights is a different job than a trailer with flat tires, rotted bunks, or a seized coupler. If your boat is on a trailer, photograph it separately — the trailer condition directly affects both the removal method and the estimate.
Ownership and Authorization
Documentation needs vary by job. Some removals are straightforward; others — particularly estate clearances, marina-stored vessels, or boats without a clear chain of title — may require authorization or ownership documentation before work can begin. A universal document checklist does not apply here because every situation is different. If the applicable requirements for your job are unclear, speak with an EZ Hauling representative during the estimate process to work through what may be needed.
Florida's FLHSMV publishes vessel title and registration procedures, including procedures for vessels junked by owners. Current requirements are subject to case review, which is another reason why documentation needs are confirmed individually rather than assumed in advance.
Job-Specific Removal Methods: Hauling, Towing, or On-Site Dismantling
No single removal method applies to every boat. The approved approach is selected during the job review based on the boat's size, condition, trailer status, site access, and practical logistics. Here is how that plays out:
- Whole-boat hauling or towing: When the boat is structurally sound enough to transport intact and the access path allows it, the vessel may be loaded and hauled whole or towed from the site. This is a common method for boats on functional trailers with reasonable access.
- Complete on-site dismantling: When a boat cannot be transported whole — because of its condition, size, access constraints, or the removal setting — it may be completely dismantled on site. The resulting ordinary debris is then hauled away. This is a legitimate and often practical option for heavily damaged, deteriorated, or awkwardly located boats.
- Off-site salvage, recycling, or disposal routing: When the job warrants it, materials may be routed to an appropriate facility. Responsible disposal is part of the job review, but this is not a mandatory step for every removal. Salvage, recycling, and disposal facility acceptance must be confirmed at the time of the job — no outcomes are guaranteed in advance.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and other hazardous materials require separate assessment and coordination. Do not assume that hazardous-material handling is included unconditionally in any estimate — this is reviewed on a job-by-job basis.
The dismantle-and-haul approach is worth noting for junk boat situations where the vessel has little or no structural integrity. In those cases, hauling away the debris after dismantling on site is often safer and more practical than attempting to transport the boat whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to submit to get a quote?
Send the service address, clear photos of the boat from multiple angles, photos of the access path, the approximate boat length, boat type, condition, motor or engine information if applicable, trailer status, and any deadline or site rules. The more detail you provide upfront, the more accurate the estimate will be. If the team needs additional information, they will reach out before providing the final scope.
My boat is non-running and badly damaged. Can it still be removed?
Yes — non-running and heavily damaged boats are common removal jobs. The boat's condition affects the removal method and estimate, not whether the job can be reviewed. Boats in poor condition may be candidates for on-site dismantling followed by ordinary debris hauling rather than whole transport, depending on what the photos and details show.
How long does it take to schedule a removal after I submit a request?
Timing depends on the schedule and the specifics of your job. Same-day or next-day service is possible when conditions allow, but it is not guaranteed. Once the estimate is accepted and the deposit is received, the team works with you to confirm a removal window. If you have a firm deadline — for a property sale, estate turnover, or storage lease — include it in your request so it can be factored into scheduling.
Will I need to provide documentation or authorization before the job starts?
It depends on the job. Some removals are straightforward; others require ownership documentation, estate authorization, or marina approval before work begins. A single universal document list does not apply here. If you are unsure what your situation requires — particularly for estate vessels, marina-stored boats, or boats without clear title — speak with an EZ Hauling representative during the estimate process.
Does my boat have to be transported whole, or can it be dismantled on site?
Both are possible, and the decision is made during the job review. If the boat can be safely transported intact, it may be hauled or towed whole. If on-site dismantling is more practical — because of the boat's condition, size, access limitations, or the removal site — the crew can dismantle the vessel on site and haul away the resulting debris. Off-site recycling or disposal routing is used when appropriate for that specific job, not as a default for every removal.
Does the estimate cover the trailer as well?
Trailer handling is part of the job review. Include photos of the trailer and note its condition — tire condition, coupler function, structural integrity — when you submit your request. Whether the trailer is included in the removal, priced separately, or requires a different approach is determined during the estimate process based on what the photos and details show.
