The price of removing a boat can be compared to the price of removing a tree and perhaps trimming some shrubs as well. Most boat removal outfits like Boat Remover must take into consideration the expenses and difficulties involved in the job, on average recovery cost of a sinking, submersed, or sunken boat.

It’s tragic to see someone’s mode of joy and fun sinking, it’s even more painful to talk about the fees involved in sinking and sunken boat recovery. Nonetheless we prepared some average starting numbers for the boating community:

Hiring a salvage, boat removal / recovery company for vessels 15-25ft on average costs start between $3,000 – $6,000. The number depends on the dimensions of the vessel like: height / length / beam of the boat, as well as the vessel disposition, location, type of boat to name a few.

25ft – 30ft vessel recovery ranges start closer to $5,000 – $8,000, and vessels 30ft plus in length can start as high as $8,000, this amount is mostly for boats with deep v hulls, and sailboats with large fixed keels.

Thought you’d never ask; for starters if your sunken boat has growth or barnacles on it… which they usually do and it damages our float bag or device, then we just lost most our profit. The equipment alone justifies the price. We won’t begin to bore you with the cost of fuel, personnel, diving equipment, tow boat maintenance, boat trailer costs and maintenance, land for wrecking boats, or the cost of heavy machinery for wrecking your boat after it’s recovered. Just know that we do our very best to stay competitive.

Sunken Boat Removal may come with a painful sticker shock, however that’s because it’s an expensive to operate operation… coupled with high liability (only coast guard fines that could cost 70k per day). If you want to dive further into the boat removal reef, stay on BoatRemover.com for some not so treasure like boat removal info (it’s a boring topic, until your boat’s sinking or sunken).

When you decide to hire a company, Boat Removers prices are estimated on a per job basis – there’s no one shoe fits all price. We do have dispatch minimums, due to our cost to deploy team members. That is the minimum to dispatch a boat, truck, trailer, or personnel.

Boat Removal prices depend on many factors that may include location, distance from haul-out / boat ramp, size and dimensions of the boat (length, beam, height, weight), type of boat (sailboat, yacht, cruiser etc.), after action (dismantle, salvage, disposal).

Quotes given with a per-foot pricing model usually are for boats on land, or boats on water not taking on water.

Don’t wait for your old boat to start taking on more water than the bilge pump can handle, because when a vessel has sunk the price increases as does the level of work for boat removal, and often the price to remove a boat doubles. Your boat will go from needing a tow boat, haul-out / trailers, and disposal to needing divers float bag deployment and essentially more liability, people and resources.

Exploring this boat removal waterway might save you a few bucks or cost you a lot more. Still, this might be one of the most thrilling DIY projects you take on this week or possibly ever.

Start by anchoring an operable boat down current from the sunken vessel. Dive down and connect lift bags to the boat (if you damage the lift bag kiss a few thousand buh-bye). Don’t attach large lift bags to cleats or rigging, or anything that could be damaged from the force of pull especially if you are using large lift bags – rather run a few strong belts under the boat and attach the lift bags to each of their ends.

Smaller lift bags can be attached to the cleats for stability. Fill the lift bags with air using an air compressor. Once the boat floats just below the water surface, then begin pumping the water out from it. If you survived thus far, or haven’t drifted away, the boat will need to be towed to the dry, assuming the engine, and/or sails are not practically repairable from sea.

Once the vessel is now floating, use your logistical magic and figure out what’s next and where to wreck the vessel… at Boat Remover we have a plan A-Z, and execute with vigor.

Next, you’ll need heavy machinery and the experience or someone experienced to operate machinery, dumpsters, or trailers to transport, and a yard or ample boat wrecking space to crush and dismantle the vessel.

Lastly, you’ll have disposal fees by the ton, a huge smile and nice tan after all the fun under the sun!

The cheapest, fastest way sounds good. Just ensure your boat doesn’t end up on someone else’s property or abandoned and located by code enforcement or similar authorities.

If a boat is still running but no longer needed, donating it to a local charitable organization is one way to dispose of it responsibly. Some national and local organizations accept boat donations, but be prepared to be on their timeline, as this option sometimes takes great patience.

These boat donation organizations typically refurbish and resell the boats to fund their charitable efforts. Most of these charities require newer boats that are sellable, and in our opinion worth more than a tax write-off. At Boat Remover we specialize in all boat removal and disposal transactions, in some cases we will consider a boat as a donation, but due to our entity type not being non-profit, we cannot offer or provide any type of donation slip or write-off advantage. If your old boat is not a candidate for donation, it’s best to call or fill out a form to discuss your boat removal request.
