Urgent vessel requests

Emergency Boat Removal & Marine Salvage in Baldwin

For a sinking, grounded, storm-damaged, or obstructing vessel, call with the exact location and current condition. We assess the request and discuss the crew, equipment, and access needed. Availability and arrival time must be confirmed for your situation.

Call for Emergency Boat Removal
01 / Local coverage

An inland removal starts with the route to the road

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.

02 / Plan the work

Plan removal of a damaged or unusable hull

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.

Details to include in your request

  • Exact vessel address in Baldwin, Florida, and an on-site contact.
  • Approximate length, width, and height if known.
  • Current supports and trailer condition, including tires and hitch.
  • Ground conditions, gate access, and room to load and turn.

A stored boat with no trailer

Photograph the underside supports and surrounding space. We assess how the vessel could be loaded before quoting the move.

A boat and trailer that must leave together

List both in the request. A trailer’s presence does not establish roadworthiness; loading and removal requirements still need review.

Request Estimate
03 / Scope & pricing

What shapes your Baldwin estimate?

Hull 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.

Baldwin access and removal questions

Does Curtis Lee Johnson Marina Park Public Boat Ramp (aka. Lighthouse Marina) establish access to my boat in Baldwin?

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.

How should I compare Curtis Lee Johnson Marina Park Public Boat Ramp (aka. Lighthouse Marina) and Wayne B Stevens Park?

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.

What should I send for a Baldwin recovery assessment?

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.

Mr. Farmer is knowledgeable and punctual in salvage operations. What was a disastrous headache for me became a quick and easy fix and grateful. He definitely went above and beyond expectations.

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. David

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.

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!
