Boat removal in Nashville, TN
At Captain Tom's, we know that removing a boat is rarely as simple as it sounds. A vessel sitting at a Nashville marina or taking up space on private property gets expensive and stressful fast. Whatever type of boat you're dealing with, whether it runs or not, we show up with the right equipment and handle the job the right way.
Our boat removal service covers everything from the first call to the final cleanup. No loose ends, no surprises. You tell us what you've got, and we take it from there.
How our boat removal process works
Here's exactly how our removal process works, from the first call to the final cleanup.
Site check and planning
Before anything moves, we come out and look at the property. Dock access, water depth, nearby structures, slope of the land, all of it factors in. Removing a boat from a tight marina slip requires a different approach than pulling one from a backyard. We map out the right equipment and entry points so nothing goes sideways on the day of the job.
Removal and boat hauling
Once the plan is set, we coordinate the crew, trailer, and any equipment needed to get your boat out safely. Boat hauling in Nashville means dealing with everything from steep lakefront lots to tight residential driveways. We handle the rigging, loading, and transport. You don't have to touch a thing or worry about damage to your property in the process.
Dismantle and material handling
Some boats can't be hauled in one piece. When that's the case, we dismantle the vessel on site using the right tools for the hull material and type of boat involved. Fiberglass, aluminum, wood, it all gets handled differently. We separate and sort materials responsibly, keeping debris contained and the work area clean as we go. If a boat needs to be fully dismantled, we take care of every piece.
Closeout and proof of completion
When the work is done, we walk the site with you before we leave. Any debris from the removal gets cleared, and we make sure the area looks the way it should. You get documentation confirming the boat is gone and the job is closed out. No loose ends, no chasing us down for paperwork. Clean finish, every time.

Boat removal questions, answered
If you've got questions about removing a boat in Tennessee, you're not alone. Here's what most people ask us before they book.
Q: How much does boat removal cost in Tennessee?
A: The cost depends on three things: the size of the boat, its condition (whether it's still floating or sitting on land), and how easy it is for our equipment to reach it. Before we do anything, we give you a free, honest, upfront written estimate so you know exactly what to expect. No hidden fees, ever.
Q: What types of boats do you remove?
A: We remove powerboats, sailboats, pontoons, jet skis, and abandoned hulls, so the type of boat you have doesn't change whether we can help. Condition doesn't matter either, whether it's on a trailer, sitting in the water, or parked in a backyard. If you've got an unwanted boat taking up space, we'll come get it.
Q: Do you handle removals from difficult locations?
A: Yes, tight marina slips, backyards without direct road access, and muddy shorelines are all situations we deal with regularly. We assess the site ahead of time so nothing catches us off guard on the day. From there, we bring the right equipment and plan to complete the removal safely.
Q: Do I need to do any preparation before you arrive?
A: Very little, honestly. Just remove any personal belongings from the boat and make sure there's clear access on the scheduled day. We handle all the technical preparation from there, so you don't need to stress about the details.
