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.
Need a boat removed from a Clay County waterfront property, storage space, or yard? AAA Boat Salvage provides boat removal, paid junk boat disposal, sunken boat recovery, and marine salvage. Tell us whether the vessel is afloat, submerged, grounded, or on land so we can discuss the work 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.
A boat beside the St. Johns River presents different access questions from a deteriorated vessel behind a home in Middleburg or near Keystone Heights. Your estimate begins with the actual site, the condition of the boat, and a practical route for the crew and equipment.
Use the cities and communities below to describe the location, then provide an address or map pin. A mailing address alone may not identify the shoreline, storage lot, or driveway entrance where the boat can be reached.
For locations along the St. Johns River or around Doctors Lake, describe the distance from the vessel to shore, its position beside any dock, and the available working space. Include a wide view of the shoreline with your boat photos.
For a creekside property, identify the nearest usable entrance and describe vegetation, narrow approaches, and nearby structures. A public ramp appearing on a map does not establish that it can be used for recovery equipment.
For unwanted boats in Middleburg, Keystone Heights, Penney Farms, or other inland areas, tell us whether the hull rests on a trailer, blocks, or the ground. Include the entrance width and surface condition.
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.
Our Clay County coverage includes waterfront sites and inland properties. Tell us the actual boat location so we can review the access and removal requirements.
Fleming Island and the additional communities listed above are covered as service areas; they are not presented as incorporated cities. We serve the entire state of Florida.
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 Clay 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 RemovalCountywide coverage includes both waterfront recovery and removal from land. For an estate, rental property, or managed storage site, identify the person who can authorize work and arrange entry. If more than one boat is involved, photograph and describe each vessel separately so the estimate has a clear scope.
A submerged vessel may require recovery before disposal can be assessed. An inland hull may instead require a plan for deteriorated supports or limited access. Boat size, condition, site access, and the agreed recovery and disposal tasks all shape the Clay County estimate.
Ask what is included, what is excluded, and which changes would require a revised estimate before work begins.
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.
Request an estimate online or call to describe the vessel and the work needed. Have these details ready:
If you have photographs, mention them and we will confirm how to send them. For urgent requests, call to discuss availability.
The saved FWC record identifies Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp on St. Johns River - Doctors Lake in Clay 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 Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp on St. Johns River - Doctors Lake and Governor's Creek Public Boat Ramp on St. Johns River. 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 Lakeshore Park Boat Ramp is Lake Shore Drive, FLEMING ISLAND, 32003; 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 Clay County request, tell us the boat’s condition and access constraints so we can discuss the relevant removal or recovery approach.
View our boat removal portfolioLocal waterfront context includes St. Johns River and Doctors Lake. 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 Clay County, use the guide for its actual location.

Provide the marina name, slip number, vessel position and marina contact. Confirm who can authorize the vessel work and who controls site access. Ask the facility about gate restrictions, working hours and equipment staging before arrangements are finalized.
A directory listing does not confirm current access, recovery suitability or permission to work. These selected references are not a complete list or a claim about the nearest marina to your boat.
