Hurricane & Storm Damaged Boat Removal in Rhode Island

Sailboat Removal & Disposal in Rhode Island

Specialized Sailboat Removal, Hauling & Disposal Throughout RI

Sailboats are among the most complex vessels to remove and dispose of due to their keel depth, overall height, mast structure, and the unique access challenges found across Rhode Island. BoatRemovalRI.com provides full-service Sailboat Removal & Disposal in Rhode Island, offering safe, efficient removal for sailboats of all sizes and in all conditions. Whether your sailboat is intact, derelict, storm-damaged, stripped, collapsed, or buried in overgrowth, our team has the equipment, experience, and partnerships to remove it safely.

Many sailboat removals in Rhode Island require careful planning because of keel size, mast height, access limitations, bridge clearances, overhead wires, tight neighborhoods, coastal obstacles, and narrow roadways. Unlike standard powerboats, sailboats often cannot be removed with basic trailers or simple towing methods. For this reason, we frequently use flatbed trailers for sailboat removals due to their stability, load height, and ability to navigate Rhode Island’s roads and neighborhoods more safely.

When required, we also have access to hydraulic boat trailers, which allow us to safely lift, stabilize, and transport heavier or uniquely shaped sailboats that need additional support throughout the removal and disposal process. Between our own capabilities and our extended network of professional towing and hauling partners, we have not yet encountered a sailboat we could not remove from Rhode Island property.

Why Sailboat Removal in Rhode Island Requires Specialized Equipment

Rhode Island’s geography creates several challenges that make sailboat removal far more complicated than powerboat removal. High masts, long keels, and heavy ballast designs make sailboats more difficult to maneuver around:

Low bridges
Tight corners
Narrow coastal roads
Power lines
Dense urban neighborhoods
Marina access limitations
Private driveways with limited turning room

Because of these obstacles, we often load sailboats onto flatbed trailers, which allow us to keep overall height low enough to travel safely through Rhode Island’s streets. For larger or heavier sailboats, our network provides access to hydraulic trailers, which can lift sailboats from difficult positions and transport them securely.

This flexibility ensures that no matter where your sailboat is located—or how difficult the access is—we have the correct equipment to remove it.

How Our Sailboat Removal Process Works

The process begins when you send us photos of the sailboat, its approximate length, and the location. This allows us to assess access, keel depth, mast condition, and potential obstacles such as trees, fences, wires, and roadway limits. Once we review the information, we provide a fast, all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees.

After you approve the quote, we schedule the removal and bring the appropriate equipment—flatbed trailers, hydraulic trailers, heavy hauling rigs, dumpsters for debris, and necessary supports for keel and hull stabilization. If the sailboat is damaged or partially collapsed, we perform controlled dismantling to safely load the vessel, ensuring no additional damage is caused to your property.

Finally, we remove the sailboat and handle the complete disposal, cleaning up any debris left behind and leaving your property clear and ready for use.
