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.
Speak directly with the owner about your boat. We coordinate with remote owners and assess removal when a trailer is missing or unusable. Tell us whether you want recovery only or recovery with paid disposal.
We serve the entire state of Florida.
For a deteriorated vessel at a marina, a storm-displaced boat, or an unwanted hull on land, AAA Boat Salvage provides boat removal and marine salvage in Green Cove Springs. We also handle sunken boat recovery and paid junk boat disposal. Call with the exact position and current condition of the boat.

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.
Green Cove Springs sits along the St. Johns River. A waterfront address may identify the property without identifying the vessel, so include a slip number or map pin and describe how to find the boat from the entrance.
For a damaged vessel, tell us what has changed since the last inspection: its position, the amount of water inside, or contact with a dock or shoreline. Current photographs help us discuss the recovery scope without relying on an older picture of the boat.
Provide the facility contact, vessel location, and any restrictions on entry or working space. Identify nearby boats and structures that the removal plan needs to account for.
Describe where the boat is now, not only where it was kept before the storm. Include a wide view showing the shoreline and access route, with close views of visible hull damage.
For a deteriorated hull at a yard or storage site, explain how it is supported and what is inside. Removal and disposal planning should address the current condition of the boat and the available approach.
AAA Florida work-library photographs show visible vessel conditions. They are not identified as completed jobs in this page’s service area, and no location, date or outcome is inferred from the images.


Paid boat removal, marine salvage, boat recovery, sunken boat recovery and junk boat disposal are available for assessment. Tell us whether the vessel will be retained after recovery or removed for disposal; those are different end points.
Emergency boat removal and emergency marine salvage requests are accepted 24/7. Deployment depends on safe conditions, site access and available resources.
For emergency marine salvage in Green Cove Springs, call with the vessel location, condition, and what has changed. Describe any obstruction or restricted access. We assess the request and discuss current crew and equipment availability; arrival time must be confirmed for the situation.
Call for Emergency Boat RemovalWhen a boat’s condition is changing, call and describe the latest observations. Have the vessel location, owner or authorized contact, and marina or property contact ready. For a nonurgent removal, clear communication about site entry and the intended disposal scope helps define the job before scheduling.
A grounded vessel, a boat submerged beside a dock, and a hull stored on land involve different tasks. Access, vessel size and condition, and the required recovery steps influence the Green Cove Springs estimate. Identify disposal needs at the start so they can be discussed with the removal scope.
Ask what is included, what is excluded, and which changes would require a revised estimate before work begins.
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.
Use the estimate page to describe the vessel and the work needed. Have these details ready:
If you have photographs, mention them and we will confirm how to send them. For urgent requests, call to discuss availability.
The saved FWC record identifies Governor's Creek Public Boat Ramp on St. Johns River in Clay 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 Governor's Creek Public Boat Ramp on St. Johns River and Old Shand's Bridge Public Boat Ramp (shallow water) on St. Johns 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 Governor's Creek Public Boat Ramp is Highway 17, North side of Governor's Creek Bridge, GREEN COVE SPRINGS, 32043; 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 Green Cove Springs 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![]()
