Quick Questions

Sunken Boat Recovery Near Me — FAQ

Is there sunken boat recovery near me in Florida?

Yes. AAA Boat Salvage recovers sunken and partially submerged vessels statewide across Florida — canals, marinas, and open water. Submit your location and we'll confirm coverage.

How do you recover a boat that's fully underwater?

We start with a site evaluation — water depth, the boat's position, and access — before determining the right approach for that specific vessel.

Is there a depth limit for recovery?

It depends on the specific site and vessel. Share the details of your situation and we'll let you know what's involved for your location.

Is this recovery connected to an insurance claim?

It can be. We can document the boat's condition and location on request if you're working through a claim — let us know when you reach out.

Do you recover sunken boats for marinas, insurance adjusters, or county agencies?

Yes. We work with marina operators, insurance adjusters handling a claim, and county and city agencies dealing with a sunken vessel in a public waterway — including situations tied to the FWC derelict vessel removal process. We're not affiliated with FWC or any insurer; we handle the physical recovery side.

Do you buy sunken boats or offer free recovery?

No. AAA Boat Salvage is a paid removal and salvage service — we don't buy boats or offer free recovery. Requesting a quote is free; the recovery itself is a paid service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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!
