AAA Boat Salvage / Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Boat Removal & Marine Salvage in Ponte Vedra Beach

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 an unwanted or damaged boat at a Ponte Vedra Beach property, access can determine the removal plan. We review the hull, trailer or supports, entrance, and working space before discussing paid junk boat disposal or boat recovery.

01 / Local coverage

Start with the property entrance and the vessel’s supports

Ponte Vedra Beach is a St. Johns County community. Provide the full property address and distinguish a residential storage location from a waterfront vessel. A community name alone does not show the access route to the boat.

If the site has managed entry, tell us who can provide access and what vehicle or equipment restrictions apply. For a waterfront property, include a map pin for the vessel and show the route between the entrance and the dock.

Residential yards and driveways

Photograph the narrowest entrance, the hull supports, and space beside the boat. Include trees, fences, or overhead structures that could affect loading.

Managed or shared properties

Provide the site contact and entry procedure. Discuss any available access windows before arranging removal so the crew can plan around the property requirements.

Waterfront vessels

Show the dock, pilings, lift if present, and the boat’s position. Tell us whether the vessel is afloat or submerged and whether the lift operates.

Removal and recovery in Ponte Vedra Beach

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 Ponte Vedra Beach, 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

Define the disposal scope before changing the site

Identify whether the boat, trailer, and associated cleanup are included in your request. If the hull is behind a fence or on uncertain supports, send photographs first so the assessment can address access without assuming a gate, lift, or trailer can be used.

Your request checklist

  • Full address and the person arranging property entry.
  • Boat length, hull condition, and existing supports.
  • Trailer condition and whether it also needs removal.
  • Photographs of the gate, loading space, and any dock access.

What shapes your Ponte Vedra Beach estimate?

For a residential disposal request, equipment access and support condition can influence the estimate as much as vessel length. For a waterfront boat, recovery requirements may add to the scope. Ask for the boat, trailer, disposal, and agreed cleanup items to be identified clearly.

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 Ponte Vedra Beach

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

  • Full address and the person arranging property entry.
  • Boat length, hull condition, and existing supports.
  • Trailer condition and whether it also needs removal.
  • Photographs of the gate, loading space, and any dock access.

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

Ponte Vedra Beach access and removal questions

Does GTM Guana River Dam Recreation Area - River Access Ramp establish access to my boat in Ponte Vedra Beach?

The saved FWC record identifies GTM Guana River Dam Recreation Area - River Access Ramp on Guana River in St. Johns 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 GTM Guana River Dam Recreation Area - River Access Ramp and Guana River Wildlife Management Area - Six Mile Landing Public Boat Ramp (10 HP Max)?

Use the vessel’s actual position, the allowed approach and equipment needs. The directory records GTM Guana River Dam Recreation Area - River Access Ramp on Guana River and Guana River Wildlife Management Area - Six Mile Landing Public Boat Ramp (10 HP Max) on Guana Lake. Straight-line proximity to a place reference point does not establish the suitable recovery route.

What should I send for a Ponte Vedra Beach recovery assessment?

Provide the vessel pin and authorized entrance, then describe whether it is afloat, submerged or ashore. The listed location for GTM Guana River Dam Recreation Area - River Access Ramp is 505 Guana River Road, PONTE VEDRA BEACH, 32082; 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!

Waterfront and property access

For work in Ponte Vedra Beach, identify whether the boat is at a dock, along a bank, on a trailer or resting on land. Supply the site contact and describe the route available for equipment.

The local ramp references include GTM Guana River Dam Recreation Area - River Access Ramp on Guana River. A listed ramp is a location aid; confirm current access and commercial-use arrangements with its operator.

For wider facility references, see the county marina section. A county reference may be outside your community.

For a boat on private property, describe gate clearance, surface conditions and obstacles. For a boat in water, share its exact position and known depth from a safe location. Identify recovery, removal and paid disposal separately in the requested scope.
