Call for Emergency Boat RemovalDuval County jobs can involve a vessel at a St. Johns River dock, a boat beside an Ortega waterfront property, or a damaged hull on a trailer farther inland. The first step is identifying how the vessel and removal equipment can reach the same working area.
We serve Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Mayport, and Baldwin. Within Jacksonville, tell us the neighborhood and exact address: Ortega, Mandarin, Arlington, and San Marco each include different property layouts and access routes.
For locations along the St. Johns River, Ortega River, Trout River, or Intracoastal Waterway, include a map pin, marina name, and slip number when available. Dock configuration, tides, water depth, and available loading space help shape the assessment.
AAA Boat Salvage serves all five Duval County municipalities, including Jacksonville’s neighborhoods, riverfront properties, Beaches communities, and inland boat-storage locations. Share your exact address, marina slip, or map pin so we can assess access and confirm scheduling.

Request EstimateA boat on a usable trailer and a submerged boat beside a dock can require very different equipment and labor. We quote the job after reviewing these details:
Ask us to confirm what your estimate includes, any exclusions, and what would require a revised quote before work proceeds.
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.
Provide the location, approximate length, condition, and access details. Photos help us understand the job.
We assess the information and discuss whether an on-site review, additional details, or specific equipment will be needed.
Confirm the work, authorization, site contact, and timing before the removal is scheduled.
Our crew carries out the agreed work. Discuss any completion photos or records you need when arranging the job.

The saved FWC record identifies Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park Fish Management Area- Primitive Boat Ramp on Hanna Park Lake in Duval 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 Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park Fish Management Area- Primitive Boat Ramp on Hanna Park Lake and Alimicani Unimproved Ramp (at Huguenot Memorial Park) on Fort George 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 Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park Fish Management Area- Primitive Boat Ramp is 500 Wonderwood Drive, ATLANTIC BEACH, 32233; do not substitute that ramp address for a boat elsewhere.

For a vessel outside Duval County, use the guide for its actual location.
