Small Watercraft Removal for Kayaks and Canoes
Clear out kayaks, canoes, rowboats, and other small hulls from your yard, storage lot, or trailer with a straightforward pickup and haul-away plan.
What Counts as Small Watercraft
Small watercraft covers lightweight hulls that are easy to move by hand or with a compact crew, including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, and paddleboards. These hulls are often built from fiberglass, aluminum, wood, or molded plastic, and many have been sitting in a yard or on a storage lot for years. Because they are smaller than motor boats, small watercraft removal usually depends less on heavy loading gear and more on access, ground conditions, and how many pieces need to move. Whether a hull sits on soft ground, near a gate, or on a trailer, we review each item so the pickup is planned around the size, material, and weight involved.

View detailsWhat Affects Your Quote
A few details help us plan small watercraft removal accurately and give you a fair review before pickup.
Hull length and material
Length and whether the hull is fiberglass, aluminum, wood, or molded plastic affect handling, weight, and how the item is loaded.
Number and weight of hulls
One kayak differs from a group of canoes and dinghies stacked in a yard, so total count and combined weight shape the plan.
Trailer availability and condition
If a trailer is part of the job, its condition and whether it rolls determines whether we can take the boat and trailer together.
Loading access and ground conditions
Soft ground, a narrow gate, a slope, or standing water near the hull can change how we approach and load each item.
Dismantling and disposal path
Cut-up wood, cracked fiberglass, or loose hardware may need light dismantling before loading and sorting for the disposal path.
Pickup Options
Choose the pickup setup that matches where your small watercraft sits and what needs to leave with it.
On-property boat pickup
For hulls resting in a yard, along a fence, or beside a garage, we plan a route from the resting spot to the truck around gates, slopes, and soft ground.
Trailer, yard, or storage-lot pickup
For boats parked on a storage lot or held in a yard, we review access for our truck and trailer and confirm ground conditions before loading.
Boat and trailer pickup
When a small hull sits on a trailer you no longer want, we can take the boat and trailer together, subject to trailer condition and access.
How to Prepare for Pickup
A little prep helps the crew work safely and keeps your small watercraft removal moving on schedule.
Remove fuel, oil, and chemicals
Any fuel, oil, or chemicals must be removed before pickup. Small watercraft rarely hold these, but drain and set aside anything that does.
Pull batteries and loose gear
Take out batteries, paddles, seat cushions, and stored gear so the hull is ready to load without extra sorting on site.
Clear a path to the hull
Open gates, move vehicles, and note any slope, soft ground, or standing water between the hull and where our truck can park.
Confirm trailer and hardware details
If a trailer or mast and rigging are involved, tell us in advance so we plan for extra weight, dismantling, and loading needs.
How Materials Are Handled
After loading, boat materials may be separated where practical, including metal hardware, trailer components, fiberglass, wood, and reusable parts. Aluminum and steel fittings often follow a different path than a molded plastic hull or foam paddleboard, and we sort items with that in mind. We aim to divert usable material where it makes sense, but we never promise exact salvage or recycling outcomes for any given hull. Final handling depends on the material, its condition, and the disposal options available in your area at the time of pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What small watercraft do you remove?
We remove kayaks, canoes, rowboats, dinghies, paddle boats, and paddleboards in fiberglass, aluminum, wood, or molded plastic. Each linked item has its own page with details specific to that hull.
Do I need to remove fuel and batteries first?
Yes. Fuel, oil, and chemicals must be removed before pickup, and it helps to pull batteries and loose gear so the hull is ready to load when the crew arrives.
Can you take the trailer along with the boat?
Often, yes. With the boat and trailer pickup option we can take both together, depending on the trailer condition and whether our truck can reach and load it safely.
What if the boat is on soft ground or behind a gate?
Let us know in advance. Soft ground, slopes, gates, and standing water all affect access, so we plan a route and confirm details before pickup day.
What happens to the boat after it is hauled away?
Materials such as metal hardware, trailer components, fiberglass, wood, and reusable parts may be separated where practical. We cannot promise exact salvage or recycling outcomes for any hull.
