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.
AAA Boat Salvage provides Broward County boat removal, marine salvage, sunken boat recovery and paid junk boat disposal. We assess damaged, submerged and unwanted vessels at marinas, private docks, yards and storage properties.

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.
Broward County contains 31 municipalities as well as unincorporated areas. The local pages below cover an initial group of waterfront cities; our service coverage also includes the other communities listed on this page.
A canal-side boat and a hull stored inland need different access information. Give the current vessel position and the road entrance or facility contact. The place where the boat was registered or launched may not be where it needs to be removed.
Describe whether the boat is afloat, listing, grounded or submerged. Include what can be seen around the hull and the latest confirmed position.
Show the supports, trailer condition and the route to the road. An unwanted boat does not have to be near a marina to be assessed for removal.
Identify each boat separately, including its condition and requested outcome. Confirm which trailers or vessel-related items belong in the scope.
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.


Coverage includes all 31 municipalities below and unincorporated areas. The links provide local guidance for the six cities in this first group.

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 Broward 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 RemovalExplain whether the boat is to be recovered for assessment or permanently disposed of. Identify the approving person and the contact controlling access so the estimate reflects the intended work.
Broward estimates consider the vessel, access and final outcome. Ask which recovery, loading and disposal tasks are included and which property or facility arrangements require separate confirmation.
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 Rotenberger WMA L-3 & L-4 Canals East Primitive Access on L-3 and L-4 Canals in Broward 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 Rotenberger WMA L-3 & L-4 Canals East Primitive Access on L-3 and L-4 Canals and Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park - Boat Ramp on Atlantic ICW (Broward County). 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 Rotenberger WMA L-3 & L-4 Canals East Primitive Access is CLEWISTON, 33440; 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![]()

Local waterfront context includes New River and Intracoastal Waterway. 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 Broward County, use the guide for its actual location.
