Boats beside lifts
Explain whether the vessel is supported, afloat or partly submerged. Describe visible damage without assuming the lift can be used.
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.
For a boat beside a lift, at a private dock or damaged after a storm, AAA Boat Salvage assesses Cocoa Beach marine salvage, sunken boat recovery and removal. Paid disposal can be included when permanent removal is the intended outcome.

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.
Describe the actual site rather than only the nearest beach or street. A vessel beside a lift, at a dock or grounded away from its usual position presents different support and access questions.
Send photos showing the boat and surrounding structures. Include the property entrance and explain whether access crosses a shared area. Water-side position and shore-side access need to be considered together.
Explain whether the vessel is supported, afloat or partly submerged. Describe visible damage without assuming the lift can be used.
Use the latest confirmed location. Tell us when photographs were taken and whether the vessel has shifted since then.
Provide the person coordinating entry and known restrictions. Neighboring docks should not be treated as available without confirmation.
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.


Paid 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 Cocoa Beach, 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 RemovalIf dock or lift equipment is damaged, describe that separately from the hull. Ask which vessel-recovery tasks are included and which surrounding items are outside the estimate.
Dock layout, hull supports and the current vessel position influence a Cocoa Beach recovery estimate. Confirm disposal requirements and how changes in access or condition will be addressed.
Removal, recovery and disposal are paid services. Ask what is included, what is excluded, and which changes would require a revised estimate before work begins.
The saved FWC record identifies Cocoa Beach Constitution Bicentennial Park on Banana River in Brevard 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 Cocoa Beach Constitution Bicentennial Park on Banana River and Wall Street Undeveloped Access (Small Boats - Use at Own Risk) on Newfound Harbor - Sykes Creek. 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 Cocoa Beach Constitution Bicentennial Park is 801 West Cocoa Beach Causeway (SR 520), COCOA BEACH, 32931; 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.

Kenneth was prompt, fast, efficient and personable throughout the whole process of deciding on a salvager to getting our boat safely hauled away. Hi It was obvious he's been doing this a while. Helper Don was friendly and funny throughout. Thanks guys for making a difficult task seem easy. DavidPosted on Google![]()

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![]()
