What Determines Your Boat Removal Price in Theodore?

Size and weight are the primary factors. A 14-foot Jon boat on a trailer costs less to move than a 28-foot Sea Ray hardtop that's been sitting on blocks behind a storage unit near Theodore Industrial Park.

  • Small boats (under 18 feet): $1,299–$1,899
  • Mid-size boats (18–24 feet): $1,900–$2,800
  • Large boats (25–35 feet): $2,900–$4,800
  • Trailer included? Adds $200–$400 if it's roadworthy; rusted trailers cost more to cut apart

Location access matters. A boat in a fenced backyard off Schillinger Road with a narrow gate requires more labor than one sitting curbside on Erin Lane. We bring chainsaws, winches, and occasionally a crane truck for vessels landlocked by trees or sheds.

Condition affects disposal. Fiberglass hulls with visible osmosis blistering go to different facilities than aluminum boats we can recycle. Boats with marine toilets, fuel tanks still holding old gas, or asbestos insulation (common in 1970s cabin cruisers) require hazmat protocols—we handle that, you don't.

DIY Boat Disposal: What Theodore Owners Need to Know

If you're considering hauling it yourself, here's the reality the tow companies won't explain upfront.

Mobile County landfill rules: The Theodore Transfer Station (off Highway 90) does NOT accept boats over 16 feet. You'll drive to the main Mobile County facility on Padgett Switch Road, where they charge by weight—expect $80–$150 for a small boat, but they may refuse fiberglass vessels with intact fuel systems. Call ahead: 251-574-8800.

Title paperwork: Alabama doesn't require titles for boats under 16 feet OR boats older than model year 1993 that were never registered. For titled boats, the landfill may ask for it; we accept boats without titles daily because we hold commercial disposal contracts.

Trailer logistics: A rusty trailer that hasn't rolled since 2018 likely has seized bearings and flat tires. U-Haul trailer rental ($29.95/day) seems cheap until you spend four hours with a come-along trying to winch a boat onto it. One customer near Bellingrath Gardens tried this, cracked his driveway, and called us the same afternoon.

Hidden costs: Gas for the round trip to Padgett Switch ($40), dump fee ($100), trailer rental, possibly a helper you'll pay cash ($80). You're at $220 minimum—and that's if the axle doesn't snap on Highway 90.

We charge $1,299 all-in and do the work in 90 minutes. Most Theodore customers choose the call: 405-698-4285.

FAQ: Boat Removal in Theodore, AL

⚠Required notice
Licensing varies by city & state. We do not claim to be pre-licensed in every jurisdiction we appear to serve. Where local permits/credentials are required and we can't reasonably obtain them in time, we sub-contract a properly licensed local operator. Mobile homes, motorhomes, RVs & campers: Portland OR, Vancouver WA, and a growing list of cities now require certified asbestos testing before haul or demolition. If a sample comes back hot, abatement adds thousands in cost and unlicensed handling can carry up to one year in county jail. We do not haul around the law — we comply or we hand off.
