A damaged boat still at its dock
Explain whether the boat can move and what has changed since the damage occurred. We assess whether recovery is required before removal.
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.
When a boat can no longer leave its location under its own power, the next step is a workable route out. We assess Jacksonville Beach vessels at waterfront properties, docks, and on land, then discuss the recovery and removal tasks needed.

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.
For a sinking, grounded, storm-damaged, or obstructing vessel, call with the exact location and current condition. We assess the request and discuss the crew, equipment, and access needed. Availability and arrival time must be confirmed for your situation.
Call for Emergency Boat RemovalAAA 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.
For the Intracoastal side of Jacksonville Beach, send the marina or property name, slip or dock position, and a map pin. For a boat stored at home, show the driveway entrance and its route to the street.
McCue Park and Boat Ramp is a useful local reference point when describing the area. A nearby public ramp does not establish access for a particular job: operating status, working space, and permission must be checked before a removal plan relies on it.
Marine recovery may involve a submerged or damaged vessel that needs recovery before removal. Describe the boat’s position and whether disposal is needed, so the assessment covers the full job.
Explain whether the boat can move and what has changed since the damage occurred. We assess whether recovery is required before removal.
Photograph its supports and the space around the hull. A dry location still needs enough access to load the boat and move equipment.
Removal and disposal for unwanted, deteriorated, or unusable boats. Tell us the hull condition, approximate length, current supports, and site access so we can assess the work and provide an estimate.
Boat disposal services →Recovery assessment for fully or partially submerged vessels. Share the exact location, water depth if known, visible damage, and dock or shoreline access so we can discuss the approach.
Sunken boat recovery services →We also provide marine recovery, emergency boat removal, and emergency marine salvage. Call to discuss urgent requests and current availability.
Request EstimateWater depth, vessel condition, lifting requirements, and equipment access shape the estimate. Confirm whether recovery, loading, removal, and disposal are included.
Ask us to confirm what is included, what is excluded, and which changes to the vessel or access would require a revised estimate. Availability depends on the site, conditions, equipment, and crew schedule.
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.
Exact vessel position and an overview of the surrounding dock or yard. Include your contact details and requested timing.
Confirm recovery, removal and paid disposal separately. Discuss site access, exclusions and any additional assessment needed before accepting the estimate.
Identify who can authorize the work and who can provide entry. We discuss any additional site review needed before scheduling.
Agree on the recovery, removal, or disposal scope and any requested completion photos or records before the work begins.
Use the estimate page to describe the vessel and the work needed. Have these details ready:
For an urgent request, call to discuss current availability. If you have photographs, mention them and we will confirm how to send them.
The saved FWC record identifies Oak Harbor Boat Ramp (Restricted to shallow draft boats) on Atlantic ICW (Duval County) 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 Oak Harbor Boat Ramp (Restricted to shallow draft boats) on Atlantic ICW (Duval County) and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park Fish Management Area- Primitive Boat Ramp on Hanna Park Lake. 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 Oak Harbor Boat Ramp (Restricted to shallow draft boats) is 2428 Seaway Street, ATLANTIC BEACH, 32233; 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 Jacksonville Beach request, tell us the boat’s condition and access constraints so we can discuss the relevant removal or recovery approach.

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![]()
