Baldwin is a town in western Duval County, west of Jacksonville. This page covers Baldwin, Florida. Send the full vessel address so the request is matched to the correct location.
A boat stored inland may need lifting or loading before removal. Show the ground around the hull, the driveway entrance, and turning space. Describe soft ground, long access lanes, or gates that could affect equipment access.
Describe the boat, its supports, and whether a trailer also needs removal. For an urgent job, explain what has changed and which access routes are available. We confirm the scope and availability after assessment.
Photograph the underside supports and surrounding space. We assess how the vessel could be loaded before quoting the move.
List both in the request. A trailer’s presence does not establish roadworthiness; loading and removal requirements still need review.
Removal and disposal for unwanted, deteriorated, or unusable boats. Tell us the hull condition, approximate length, current supports, and site access so we can assess the work and provide an estimate.
Boat disposal services →Recovery assessment for fully or partially submerged vessels. Share the exact location, water depth if known, visible damage, and dock or shoreline access so we can discuss the approach.
Sunken boat recovery services →We also provide marine recovery, emergency boat removal, and emergency marine salvage. Call to discuss urgent requests and current availability.
Request EstimateHull condition, ground access, lifting requirements, and disposal scope influence the Baldwin estimate. Identify the boat, trailer, and cleanup tasks that need to be included.
Ask us to confirm what is included, what is excluded, and which changes to the vessel or access would require a revised estimate. Availability depends on the site, conditions, equipment, and crew schedule.
Removal, recovery and disposal are paid services. A recovery-only estimate and a recovery-with-disposal estimate describe different outcomes. Compare the included work, site arrangements and exclusions before approving the job. Read the Florida boat removal and disposal cost guide.
Exact vessel address in Baldwin, Florida, and an on-site contact. Include your contact details and requested timing.
Confirm recovery, removal and paid disposal separately. Discuss site access, exclusions and any additional assessment needed before accepting the estimate.
Identify who can authorize the work and who can provide entry. We discuss any additional site review needed before scheduling.
Agree on the recovery, removal, or disposal scope and any requested completion photos or records before the work begins.
Use the estimate page to describe the vessel and the work needed. Have these details ready:
For an urgent request, call to discuss current availability. If you have photographs, mention them and we will confirm how to send them.
The saved FWC record identifies Curtis Lee Johnson Marina Park Public Boat Ramp (aka. Lighthouse Marina) on Cedar River in Duval County. That identifies a public access reference, not a reserved working route. Send the actual vessel position and confirm current operator permission before relying on this location.
Use the vessel’s actual position, the allowed approach and equipment needs. The directory records Curtis Lee Johnson Marina Park Public Boat Ramp (aka. Lighthouse Marina) on Cedar River and Wayne B Stevens Park on Ortega River. Straight-line proximity to a place reference point does not establish the suitable recovery route.
Provide the vessel pin and authorized entrance, then describe whether it is afloat, submerged or ashore. The listed location for Curtis Lee Johnson Marina Park Public Boat Ramp (aka. Lighthouse Marina) is 5434 San Juan Avenue, JACKSONVILLE, 32210; do not substitute that ramp address for a boat elsewhere.
These answers use the saved ramp records linked below. They do not confirm present opening status, commercial-use permission or a completed AAA job at those sites.
Explore AAA Boat Salvage’s vessel and equipment photographs. For your Baldwin request, tell us the boat’s condition and access constraints so we can discuss the relevant removal or recovery approach.

Kenneth was prompt, fast, efficient and personable throughout the whole process of deciding on a salvager to getting our boat safely hauled away. Hi It was obvious he's been doing this a while. Helper Don was friendly and funny throughout. Thanks guys for making a difficult task seem easy. DavidPosted on Google![]()

I had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with the owner Kenneth today. Unfortunate because my in laws got stranded but a pleasure because Kenneth was absolutely amazing. My in laws were 3 hrs from home when they got stranded on the river and the loving children we are were scrambling first thing Saturday morning to find them help. Kenneth was quick and on top of getting their location to get them help. Being that they've been stuck there since last night Mr Kenneth was also quick to ask if they had food and water and needed any supplies. When things where then sorted out and a different company was on the way Mr Kenneth understood and was still very worried about my inlaws getting proper supplies and help. Though we didn't get to use his service I 10/10 recommend due to customer service.Posted on Google![]()

Lesson number 1: Don’t ever put anything in your name for a family member. For 3.5yrs I have stared at an old boat in the yard that said family member finally gave away for free. Sounds great, right? Not when you are sitting at work and see on your cameras that said boat has suddenly reappeared in your front yard. Family member back in their home state, boat now in my front yard…panic attack. Several in fact. The boat was no longer in any kind of donation condition and this isn’t as easy to get rid of as a car or motorcycle which have junk yards. After panic searching and secretly crying in the bathroom at work (several times), I came across AAA Boat Salvage. I reached out for a quote and Kenneth got back to me super fast. He searched my address and let me know he could remove it the next day. He told me what to expect, they sent over paperwork for me to sign, and we confirmed an ETA for the next day. Kenneth kept me posted as he was coming from 2hrs away and I was able to coordinate with work to be home to meet him. He quickly connected the boat, was very professional and while he was prepping for safe transport he had me connect with the office for payment of removal services and my final copies of the necessary documents releasing me from ownership and liability of the boat. I feel much better knowing they will properly strip down the boat and dispose of it correctly and in accordance with environmental laws. It is painful to have to pay to dispose of a old vessel that was never meant to be my problem, but giving away something for free doesn’t mean someone will responsibly remove you from ownership and liability (or won’t dump it back in your yard at a future date like me). The nightmares of this eyesore are over, and Kenneth and the office team kept me sane and made this so easy for me .I am more than happy to recommend them!Posted on Google![]()

For a boat on private property, describe gate clearance, surface conditions and obstacles. For a boat in water, share its exact position and known depth from a safe location. Identify recovery, removal and paid disposal separately in the requested scope.
