That old boat, finally gone
Inverness might be the truest lake town in Central Florida. The Tsala Apopka chain wraps the city on three sides, downtown sits right on Lake Henderson, and a huge share of local lots either touch water or sit a couple of streets from it. That also means Inverness carries more than its share of boats that stopped running years ago — parked beside the house, tarped and forgotten, or still tied to a dock they will never leave under their own power. Some are one storm season past saving, and every year on the chain adds a few more.
If one of them is yours, we will come get it. The Junk Sharks has hauled unwanted boats and watercraft across Central Florida since 2016. We handle the loading or towing, cut the vessel down on site when it cannot leave in one piece, and take the trailer too. No dragging anything to the curb, no borrowed truck, no guessing where a fiberglass hull is even allowed to go. Book online in about 60 seconds, or call or text (352) 581-2576, and we will put an exact all-in price on the job at your Inverness address before we touch anything.

Straightforward pricing
What boat removal costs in Inverness
Boat removal in Inverness starts around $149 and goes up from there, driven by how big the vessel is, what kind it is, and how much cutting it takes to get it out. A jet ski or a canoe lands near the bottom of that range; a big pontoon or a cabin cruiser that has to come apart before it can leave the yard costs more. We give you the exact number on-site, after we have looked at the boat and its access, and always before any work starts.
That figure is flat and all-in. It covers loading or towing, teardown if the job needs it, hauling, and disposal or recycling of both the boat and the trailer. What it never includes is surprise add-ons. Flat trailer tires do not cost extra. A tight squeeze between the house and the seawall does not cost extra. And a hull that spent a week underwater during a hurricane and now weighs twice what it did new is still just a heavy hull — no penalty gets tacked on for the weight. The number we quote in your driveway is the number you pay.

Who we help
Boat removal for every situation
Waterfront homes make up a big slice of our Inverness work. If the boat is at your dock, on a lift, or dragged up on the bank of Lake Henderson, we can tow it out or break it down right there — we do not need it sitting neatly on a trailer at the road. Yard-stored boats are the other big category: the project boat in the Inverness Highlands that never became a project, settling into the grass one flat tire at a time. If a code enforcement letter or an HOA notice about it has already arrived, we can usually close that chapter in a single visit.
Reclaiming your driveway
That project boat is holding your best parking spot — we clear it out.
Inherited or abandoned boats
A boat left behind with no title and no plan — we haul it away.
Storm-damaged vessels
Cracked or flipped by a storm? We break it down and clear it.
HOA & code violations
Remove a boat flagged by the HOA or code enforcement fast.
Marinas & storage lots
Clear derelict or abandoned vessels taking up paid space.

Coverage
Boat removal across the Inverness area
We cover the whole Inverness map, water and all. That starts downtown, where Lake Henderson and Little Lake Henderson sit right up against the shops and the Withlacoochee State Trail, and runs out through Gospel Island, where nearly every lot backs up to the Tsala Apopka chain. We work all three pools of the chain — Inverness, Floral City, and Hernando — so a boat in Floral City or Hernando is the same trip for us as one in Inverness proper.

Questions
Boat removal FAQs
Still not sure? Call (352) 581-2576 — we will give you a straight answer and a flat price.
Book Boat RemovalCan you remove a boat if the trailer has flat tires or won't roll?
Yes. Flat or rotted trailer tires are one of the most common things we see in Inverness, and they never add a dime to the price. Our crew brings the equipment to load or pull a stuck trailer out of soft ground, and if the trailer is too far gone to move at all, we cut it up and haul it out in pieces along with the boat.
I can't find the title. Can you still take the boat?
Usually, yes. A title is not always required to dispose of a boat, and missing paperwork is normal with inherited vessels and boats that have sat for decades. Tell us what you have — a registration, a bill of sale, or nothing at all — and we will walk you through what your specific situation needs before we schedule the removal.
Can you get a boat out of a tight backyard or off a seawall lot?
That is everyday work for us on the Tsala Apopka chain. Waterfront lots in Inverness are often narrow, with the boat trapped between the house, the neighbor's fence, and the water. We plan the route out when we quote the job, and if the hull cannot leave whole, we cut it down on site and carry it out in sections. Tight access never changes the price after the quote.
Do you offer same-day boat removal in Inverness?
Often, yes. We run seven days a week from 6am to 8:30pm, so there is usually room in the schedule — especially if you reach out early in the day. Same-day matters most when a closing, an inspection, or a code enforcement deadline is bearing down. Call or text (352) 581-2576 and we will tell you honestly what today looks like.
What happens to the boat after you haul it away?
It gets broken down and disposed of properly rather than dumped. Metal — trailers, outboards, rails, and rigging — goes to recycling. Fiberglass hulls are cut down and taken to facilities that accept them, since regular curbside disposal will not. Usable parts get pulled when there are any. Disposal and recycling of both the boat and the trailer are included in your flat quote.
My boat sank in a storm and was refloated. Will you take it?
Yes — once it is back at the surface or up on the bank, we can take it from there. Refloated hulls are common around Lake Henderson and the chain after hurricane seasons, and they come out heavier and messier than dry boats, full of waterlogged foam and silt. That is fine. The job is still quoted exactly on-site, with no surcharge for the extra weight.
