We DO NOT operate a boat salvage yard, sell used boat parts, or engage in retail boat sales
We serve the entire state of Florida.
A boat taking on water, damaged at its berth or displaced after a storm needs a clear next step. Call AAA Boat Salvage to discuss emergency boat recovery, marine salvage or urgent removal.
Tell us where the vessel is and what is changing. We will discuss assessment needs, available resources and the recovery or removal scope.
For urgent vessel requests, call rather than wait for an online estimate reply. Arrival timing must be confirmed.
If anyone is in immediate danger: call 911 or contact the Coast Guard on VHF Channel 16. Coast Guard emergency contact guidance.
Describe the current problem, even if you are unsure which service to request. A floating boat with new damage, a grounded vessel and a boat underwater need different assessments.
Call about a boat that is sitting lower, leaning or changing position at a dock or mooring. Tell us when the change was noticed and what you can observe from a safe location.
Report the last confirmed position and how much of the vessel is visible. Explain whether it is beside other boats, a dock or a shoreline structure.
Share the current location, not just the former berth. Describe the surrounding ground or shoreline and any restrictions on reaching the boat.
A marina or property representative can call about a vessel affecting a slip or access. Provide the site contact and identify who can authorize the vessel work.
You do not need a complete file to make the first call. Share the details you know; say when something is uncertain.
If you already have recent photographs, tell us. Do not board an unstable boat or enter the water to collect information.
We review the location, vessel condition and the change that makes the request urgent. Explain any immediate site concerns and who is present.
The boat’s position, access and conditions determine what needs to be assessed. Crew and equipment availability must be confirmed before an arrival time is agreed.
Clarify the recovery or removal objective, estimate, access arrangements and who can approve the work. Identify any disposal request separately.
Keep the site contact and vessel representative informed of agreed arrangements. If the boat’s location or condition changes, call with the update.
Tell us that the vessel is being retained. Agree on the recovery end point; recovery alone does not establish that a boat is safe to operate or repairable.
Explain the access problem and where the boat is currently resting. Confirm what must be removed and which associated vessel items are included.
If you no longer want the vessel, request recovery and disposal in the same estimate. Disposal requires an agreed scope and appropriate authorization.
Emergency marine salvage, boat removal and disposal are paid services. The estimate depends on the vessel, its location and the work required; a boat’s length alone is not enough to price the job.
Submersion, grounding, hull damage and surrounding structures can change the assessment and recovery requirements.
Water depth if known, shore access, working space and conditions at the site affect how the work can be arranged.
Confirm recovery, removal, any paid disposal, facility arrangements and requested completion records. Ask which changes could require a revised estimate.
Tell us if an insurer or another representative is involved so the approval contacts are clear. Confirm coverage and payment arrangements directly with the insurer; requesting recovery does not establish insurance coverage.
Call AAA Boat Salvage at 888-702-5785 to discuss urgent vessel recovery or boat removal anywhere in Florida. Provide the exact location and current condition so assessment needs and availability can be discussed.
This page is for vessel salvage, recovery and removal requests. If a person is in immediate danger, call 911 or contact the Coast Guard on VHF Channel 16.
Call to confirm availability for the actual location and situation. Arrival timing depends on assessment needs, conditions, access and available crew and equipment. An online request does not confirm dispatch.
Yes. Call about a listing, partially submerged or damaged vessel and describe what is changing. We can discuss the assessment before the boat is fully underwater.
For an urgent vessel situation, call 888-702-5785. Use Request Estimate for a planned assessment or when the situation is stable enough for an online inquiry.
A marina manager can start the request and share site information. Identify the vessel owner or authorized representative, who can approve the work and who controls access to the site.
Yes. Provide the latest confirmed position, current condition and available site-access information. Conditions and availability must be assessed before work is scheduled.
You can request recovery with the intention of retaining the vessel. Make that clear when discussing the scope. Any later disposal is a separate decision, and recovery does not establish that the boat is usable.
Yes. If disposal is the intended outcome, request it with the recovery or removal estimate. Confirm the included vessel items and who can authorize disposal.
Call with the updated location, time observed and any new site information. A change in position or condition can change the assessment and agreed work.
We serve the entire state of Florida. Call with the actual vessel location, whether it is at a coastal marina, private dock, inland lake, river or canal. Statewide coverage does not establish an arrival time; availability is confirmed for each request.
Tell us where the boat is, what has happened and how to reach the person on site. For a planned recovery or removal, send your details to request an estimate.
