24/7 boat removal & marine recovery requests. Call 888-702-5785. Services are paid; crew deployment and arrival depend on conditions, site access and current resources.

We serve the entire state of Florida.
AAA Boat Salvage assesses Apollo Beach marine salvage, sunken boat recovery and boat removal. For a boat on a lift or beside a dock, explain the present support condition and any visible contact with surrounding structures.
Explore AAA’s recovery and removal work photos and video. For a similar request, share the boat’s current location, approximate length, condition and available access.
For an Apollo Beach waterfront vessel, a hull close-up does not show the full working space. Include a wider view of the dock or lift and describe shore access through the property.
If damage has changed the boat’s position, send current photographs and explain what moved. Existing supports should not be assumed usable for the proposed recovery or removal.

Apollo Beach estimates reflect hull condition, support condition and working clearance. Recovery and later disposal should be discussed together when both are needed.
Removal, recovery and disposal are paid services. Ask what is included, what is excluded, and which changes would require a revised estimate before work begins.
The saved FWC record identifies Ruskin Commongood Public Boat Ramp on Little Manatee River in Hillsborough 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 Ruskin Commongood Public Boat Ramp on Little Manatee River and E. G. Simmons Park - Boat Ramp on Tampa Bay - Eastern Shore. 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 Ruskin Commongood Public Boat Ramp is 121 Second Street NW, RUSKIN, 33570; do not substitute that ramp address for a boat elsewhere.
