Fernandina Beach & Amelia Island
For a marina or waterfront property, provide the dock or slip location and an on-site contact. Separate the vessel position from the entrance equipment would use.
We DO NOT operate a boat salvage yard, sell used boat parts, or engage in retail boat sales
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.
From an Amelia Island dock to a boat stored inland near Callahan, Nassau County removal jobs need different access plans. AAA Boat Salvage assesses the vessel, the working area, and the recovery or disposal required before defining the job.

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.
A countywide request starts with the exact address or vessel map pin. Tell us whether the boat is on land, at a dock, grounded, or submerged. A waterfront mailing address alone may not show where equipment can reach the hull.
We cover Fernandina Beach, Yulee, Amelia Island, Nassauville, O’Neil, Chester, Blackrock, Callahan, Hilliard, Bryceville, Kings Ferry, Boulogne, and Nassau Oaks. Send the actual vessel location so the work can be matched to the right access conditions.
For a marina or waterfront property, provide the dock or slip location and an on-site contact. Separate the vessel position from the entrance equipment would use.
For a residential, storage, or waterfront site, show the route from the entrance to the boat. Gates, soft ground, and dock layouts need to be included in the assessment.
For inland removal, photograph the hull supports and available loading space. Describe long access lanes, ground conditions, and any unusable trailer.
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.


We serve Nassau County’s coastal and inland locations. Select a local service page below or provide your exact address in the estimate form.
For a vessel on Amelia Island, including locations outside Fernandina Beach’s city limits, send the property address, marina or dock location, and an on-site contact. We assess the actual access available to the vessel.
Use a map pin with photographs of the vessel and the route equipment would use. Waterfront recovery and inland boat disposal require different access information.
Request EstimatePaid 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 Nassau County, 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 RemovalFor a property with more than one boat, identify each vessel separately. A sunken boat and a deteriorated boat on land should not be treated as the same removal task. Include the condition and approximate length of each, then identify which require recovery, disposal, or both.
Countywide estimates depend on each vessel’s condition and access rather than a single county rate. Confirm whether recovery, lifting, removal, disposal, and agreed cleanup are included. If several vessels are involved, ask how each is covered by the 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.
Request an estimate online or call 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 Four Creeks State Forest - Hobbs Landing (Small Boats Only) on Mills Creek in Nassau 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 Four Creeks State Forest - Hobbs Landing (Small Boats Only) on Mills Creek and Dee Dee Bartels Public Boat Ramp on Amelia River - St. Marys 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 Four Creeks State Forest - Hobbs Landing (Small Boats Only) is from SR 115 take Bismark Rd to Pacetti Rd to Five Mile Rd to Hobbs Ldg, CALLAHAN, 32011; 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 Nassau County request, tell us the boat’s condition and access constraints so we can discuss the relevant removal or recovery approach.

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![]()

Local waterfront context includes Amelia River and Nassau River. Identify the specific dock, marina berth or property where the boat rests. A waterway name does not establish access or permission to carry out recovery.
For a boat ashore, send current images of the supports and approach. For a submerged vessel, describe its position and depth if known. Explain who can approve the work and whether you want to retain the boat or include paid disposal.
For a vessel outside Nassau County, use the guide for its actual location.
These are selected public ramp references in Nassau County. They span county locations rather than identify a nearest ramp for the whole county.
