I’m Kenneth Farmer, the driving force behind our esteemed marine salvage and boat services. As a Florida native with a deep-rooted history in commercial fishing and boat salvage dating back to 1847, this business is more than just a livelihood—it’s a passion. My life on the water allows me to help others and experience unique moments that few ever will.
My journey began as a child on the shrimp boat “Miss Jackie”, with my grandfather, where I started heading shrimp. As I grew older, I expanded into mullet fishing, stone crabbing, and blue crabbing, all while learning the intricacies of boat maintenance, initially with wooden vessels and later with fiberglass.
In my 30s, I honed my boat-building skills, working alongside Andy Grant at the Crusader shop. This hands-on experience, combined with my Florida upbringing, has given me an intimate knowledge of these waters, allowing me to provide expert services confidently throughout the state.
Beyond boats and salvage, my focus is on building trust and strong relationships within our community. I value the personal touch—a handshake, a direct approach—treating every client as a valued neighbor and every job as a commitment to the enduring values of our family legacy.

He was on time and efficient in his performance. Daniel Plastino2025-01-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kenneth helped us tow and dispose of a derelict boat that had been abandoned on our property. From start to finish, he was communicative, friendly, honest, flexible, and professional. He was able to get the job done quickly and efficiently, helping us solve a major headache that had been going on for months. I highly recommend Kenneth!

AAA was the best price while other companies were price gauging!! So professional and did a great job!! Thank AAA !!!!! Five Stars..10 if i could. Phillip Bates2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for a Salvage company this is the one. The entire process was painless and the Owner himself was in consistent contact with me. He was apart of the crew that raised my boat and delivered it to shore on the trailer for me. This was the most pleasant experience with a company I have had in 25 years. I have been trying for years to get a company to raise the boat from the bottom of a lake and got no where with the big brand, sponsored by Google companies. Yet in two weeks they were able to raise the boat. This has been pleasant. Lost the boat to the lake during a hurricane and it’s been there for an extended period of time. Seeing it on land for the first time after it sank is heartwarming and genuinely brought me happiness. I hope it never happens again but if it does I’m instantly calling back. The professionalism, generosity, and standard set by Mr. K and his team is what I want to see more in the world. Thank you so much. Mark H2024-10-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service at a reasonable price. I recommend highly Val Burke2024-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After losing our house with Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton sunk our boat 2 weeks later. Kenneth Farmer of AAA Boat Salvage came to our rescue! He was professional, courteous, and above all, kind. He had our boat floated, towed, and in salvage within 24 hours. I would highly recommend Kenneth for any boat salvage needs you might have. And a big shout out to Tina, his secretary, who took all my frantic calls and answered all my questions! Bj Ryan Music2024-10-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So our boat like a lot of peoples were affected during the hurricane Friday morning we found it half submerged and of course moved quickly to find a company to help us. We reached out to Kenneth and sent pictures and he immediately said he could save it. The way he operates is you pay the fee before you meet him so I was nervous about that but I researched him and his company and of course found all the review that were stellar. So we paid our fee and he was at our dock the same day and almost 4 hours later our boat was floating. He definitely knows what he’s doing, he had pullys and balloons and was very strategic about each move he made. We would absolutely recommend him and he did save the boat as he said he would.Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
