Boat Disposal & Junk Boat Removal in Florida

24/7 boat removal & marine recovery availability. Call 888-702-5785. Services are paid; crew deployment and arrival depend on conditions, site access and current resources.

We serve the entire state of Florida.

Clear an unwanted boat from your yard, storage space or marina. AAA Boat Salvage provides paid junk boat removal and disposal, with recovery assessed when the vessel is already in the water.

Send the location, approximate length and recent photos. We will review the boat, site access and intended disposal scope so you know what the estimate covers.

Removal and disposal are paid services. Include the trailer in your request if you want it considered in the same estimate.

An unwanted boat on land or in the water?

Yard, driveway or private property

Describe where the boat rests and how equipment can reach it. Gates, overhead obstructions, soft ground and nearby buildings affect the removal plan.

Storage facility or boatyard

Provide the facility contact, access hours and the boat’s position. Tell us about any supports, trailer problems or restrictions on working space.

Dock, slip or marina

Tell us whether the vessel is afloat, taking on water or supported on a lift. Include dock access, nearby boats and facility requirements.

Damaged or submerged vessel

A boat that has sunk or broken apart needs a different assessment from an accessible hull on land. Request recovery and disposal together if disposal is the intended outcome.

How much does junk boat removal and disposal cost?

Your estimate depends on the boat and the work needed to remove it. A standard price per boat would miss important differences in condition, access and disposal scope.

Size and condition

Approximate length, boat type, hull deterioration and loose vessel material help define the work. Describe any known damage that affects handling.

Access and equipment

A boat at the end of a narrow driveway, on damaged supports or below the water may need additional assessment and equipment.

What is being removed

Confirm whether the estimate includes the hull, associated vessel items, a trailer, recovery from the water and disposal charges.

Ask for the included work, exclusions and circumstances that would require a revised estimate. Photographs can start the discussion; additional site information may be needed before pricing is confirmed.

Read the boat removal and disposal cost guide

Agree on what stays and what goes

Make the intended outcome clear before scheduling. Identify personal belongings you intend to keep and any items you want assessed as part of the disposal request.

Boat and trailer

If you want both removed, include photos and the trailer’s condition. Do not assume the trailer is included simply because the boat is sitting on it.

Items aboard the vessel

Describe loose material and any known fuel, batteries or other contents. The assessment determines what can be included and whether separate arrangements are needed.

Property and facility access

Identify the person who can open gates or coordinate entry. Confirm facility restrictions and the work area so the estimate reflects the actual site.

From an unwanted boat to an agreed disposal plan

1. Send the boat details

Provide the location, approximate size and recent photos of the vessel and surrounding access. State that paid disposal is the intended outcome.

2. Review access and authorization

Tell us whether you own the boat or represent the owner, and what documents you have. We review the physical work and required permissions before scheduling.

3. Confirm the estimate

Agree on removal, any recovery work, disposal, trailer inclusion and site arrangements. Ask about any completion records you need.

4. Arrange the work

Once the scope and authorization are confirmed, coordinate the site contact and timing. Availability depends on the actual job and conditions.

Need recovery before disposal?

If the boat is already submerged or damaged at a berth, explain that in the first request. Recovery and disposal are different stages and should be identified in the estimate.

Sunken boat recovery · Storm-damaged boat recovery and removal

Call about a vessel that is sinking or shifting so the current situation can be discussed. An online estimate request does not confirm dispatch.

Emergency marine salvage and boat removal

Own the boat, or arranging disposal for someone else?

Tell us who can approve removal and disposal, and what ownership or representative documents are available. If paperwork is missing, explain that before scheduling so the requirements can be reviewed.

A boat left by someone else is a different situation from disposing of your own unwanted vessel. An estimate does not establish the authority to remove it.

Abandoned boat removal and authorization guidance

Several unwanted boats at one facility?

Marinas, storage operators and property managers can send an inventory with each vessel’s size, condition, position and authorized contact. Identify which boats need recovery, which trailers are included and the facility’s access restrictions.

Boat disposal & junk boat removal FAQs

Who provides paid junk boat disposal in Florida?

AAA Boat Salvage provides paid boat disposal and junk boat removal throughout Florida. Send the boat’s location, approximate length, condition and photos to request a site-specific estimate.

Can you remove a boat from my backyard or driveway?

Yes, you can request an assessment for a boat on private property. Include gate widths, working space, ground conditions and nearby obstructions so access can be reviewed.

Can you remove a junk boat without a trailer?

Tell us whether the boat is on the ground, on supports or on a damaged trailer. A working trailer is not assumed; the removal approach depends on vessel condition and site access.

Can the boat and trailer be included together?

Ask for both to be included in the assessment. Provide the trailer’s condition and photographs, then confirm whether its removal and disposal are part of the agreed estimate.

Can you dispose of a boat that has sunk?

You can request recovery followed by paid disposal. The estimate needs to account for the submerged vessel, access and recovery work as well as removal and disposal.

What paperwork do I need for boat disposal?

Tell us whether you are the owner or an authorized representative and what ownership documents are available. The required documentation and permissions must be reviewed before scheduling.

What if I no longer have the title?

Explain the situation when requesting an estimate. Missing documentation must be addressed for the particular vessel; removal or disposal is not promised without the required authority.

What should I do with items still aboard?

Identify belongings you intend to retain and describe the remaining contents in your request. Confirm what is included in disposal before work begins. Only access the boat if it is safe to do so.

Is everything included in the quoted price?

Review the written scope. Ask specifically about recovery, removal, disposal charges, associated vessel material, the trailer and any site or facility costs. Confirm exclusions and when a revised estimate might be needed.

Can I arrange disposal while I am out of state?

Provide your contact details and an on-site contact who can coordinate access. Clarify who can authorize the work, what documents are available and how the boat can be reached.

How soon can a junk boat be removed?

Call with the location and condition for current availability. Scheduling depends on access, equipment, weather, assessment needs and authorization. A submitted estimate request does not reserve a removal date.

Can I ask for records for an insurance claim?

Discuss the records you need before the work is agreed. Confirm coverage, approvals and payment arrangements with your insurer; a disposal estimate does not establish claim coverage.

We do not offer boat transport or towing, buy or sell boats, or buy or sell boat parts. Contact us for paid boat removal, marine salvage, boat recovery and disposal.
