Boat Removal & Marine Salvage in Fleming Island

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.

A damaged or sunken boat at a residential dock requires more than a street address. AAA Boat Salvage provides marine salvage, sunken boat recovery, and boat removal in Fleming Island, along with paid junk boat disposal for vessels on land. Share the boat’s position and the access available at the property.

01 / Local coverage

Fleming Island recovery around residential docks and waterfront properties

Doctors Lake and the St. Johns River help define Fleming Island’s waterfront. For a boat beside a home or shared dock, describe whether the crew can reach it from land, water, or both. The length and layout of the dock may matter as much as the distance to the street.

A nearby park or launch is a geographic reference, not an assumed work site. Send the actual property entrance and vessel position, along with the contact who can discuss use of shared or managed access.

Doctors Lake properties

For a boat along Doctors Lake, identify the shoreline location and its position relative to the dock. Tell us if the hull is submerged, leaning, or resting against another structure.

Shared docks and managed access

Provide the site contact and any arrangements needed for entry. Photos showing neighboring vessels, pilings, and walkway space help define the working area without assuming every part of the dock is available.

Boats stored at home

If an unwanted boat is on land, send a view from the entrance through to the vessel. Describe its trailer or supports and any gate or landscaping that limits the route.

Removal and recovery in Fleming Island

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.

Urgent vessel requests

Emergency Boat Removal & Marine Salvage

For emergency marine salvage in Fleming Island, 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.

03 / Scope & access

Separate the vessel problem from the access problem

A close photograph can show damage, but it cannot show how a crew will reach the boat. Include both close views and wide views of the approach. If the vessel has shifted after a storm, describe its current position and any contact with a dock or shoreline structure.

Your request checklist

  • Send the Fleming Island address or map pin and current boat position.
  • Describe whether the boat is afloat, partially submerged, grounded, or on land.
  • Include wide photos of the dock or yard approach and nearby structures.
  • Identify the person coordinating access to private or shared property.

What shapes your Fleming Island estimate?

The recovery scope depends on the vessel’s condition and the usable working area. A boat resting under a dock can require a different plan from one afloat alongside it. For a vessel on land, the condition of its supports and access route shape the removal and disposal estimate.

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.

05 / Tell us about the boat

Request an estimate in Fleming Island

Use the estimate page to describe the vessel and the work needed. Have these details ready:

  • Send the Fleming Island address or map pin and current boat position.
  • Describe whether the boat is afloat, partially submerged, grounded, or on land.
  • Include wide photos of the dock or yard approach and nearby structures.
  • Identify the person coordinating access to private or shared property.

If you have photographs, mention them and we will confirm how to send them. For urgent requests, call to discuss availability.

Fleming Island access and removal questions

Does Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp establish access to my boat in Fleming Island?

The saved FWC record identifies Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp on St. Johns River - Doctors Lake 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.

How should I compare Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp and Knight's Boat Ramp and Marina on Black Creek?

Use the vessel’s actual position, the allowed approach and equipment needs. The directory records Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp on St. Johns River - Doctors Lake and Knight's Boat Ramp and Marina on Black Creek on St. Johns River - Black Creek. Straight-line proximity to a place reference point does not establish the suitable recovery route.

What should I send for a Fleming Island recovery assessment?

Provide the vessel pin and authorized entrance, then describe whether it is afloat, submerged or ashore. The listed location for Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp is Lake Shore Drive, FLEMING ISLAND, 32003; 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!
