Sailboat Removal in Brunswick, GA

With smaller trailerable sailboats, dropping and taking apart the mast and rigging can often be folded right into the removal. What decides how it goes is what’s around the boat — power lines, the house, trees, a fence — and whether the mast is stepped, lying on the deck or stored somewhere else. The spars and wire come apart first, the sails and lines get bundled, and then the hull either loads whole or is broken down where it sits, depending on its condition and how close the truck can get.

Bigger keelboats and anything sitting in an odd spot just get a closer look. Every boat is different. Send us some photos and the location, and we’ll take a look and tell you what it takes. Whoever books it just needs the right to dispose of it, and we’ll settle that with you at the estimate.

Afterward, aluminum masts, booms, crossbars and trailers usually go to scrap recycling, often at SA Recycling in Brunswick. Fiberglass is far more complex than landfilling a hull, and we’ve developed legitimate downstream processes for dismantled fiberglass. Sails, lines and rotted wood leave with the rest of the load.

The water side of Brunswick is where a small sailboat tends to get parked and forgotten — on a trailer beside a house off Blythe Island Highway, or on a waterfront lot in the Turtle River area. The first thing we look at is overhead: power lines along the road, live oak limbs, the carport roof, because the mast has to come down clear of all of it. Then the ground — soft dirt near the river, a narrow gate, a trailer whose tires gave up years ago. Send photos of the whole boat and what’s above it, and we’ll tell you what it takes anywhere along the Brunswick waterfront.
