Abandoned Boat Removal

A boat left behind by a previous owner, tenant, or renter can turn into a liability fast, sitting on a seawall, tied up at a dock, or abandoned in a canal. We remove abandoned boats from private property, waterfront lots, and shared docks throughout Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

  • Removal from private property, canals, and residential docks
  • Works for boats left by a prior owner, tenant, or unknown party
  • Evaluation of access, size, and condition before removal
  • Land-based and water-based removal options

Storm-Damaged Boat Removal

Hurricane and tropical storm season leaves boats grounded, capsized, or wrecked against docks and seawalls. We remove storm-damaged boats from yards, marinas, and waterways across Florida and the Southeast, working around the debris and access challenges that usually come with storm cleanup.

  • Removal of hurricane and tropical-storm-damaged vessels
  • Boats grounded, capsized, or pinned against structures
  • Coordination around storm-season access and debris conditions
  • Available for residential, marina, and commercial properties
Sunken boat recovery service in Florida
Sunken Boat Recovery Florida

Sunken Boat Recovery

A fully or partially submerged boat requires a careful, staged approach, not just a tow line. We evaluate the site, the boat's position, and water depth before recovering sunken vessels from canals, marinas, and open water throughout Florida and neighboring states.

  • Recovery of fully and partially submerged vessels
  • Site evaluation before recovery begins
  • Experience with canal, marina, and open-water conditions
  • Coordination for boats that have been underwater for extended periods
Boat towing and transport service in Florida

Boat Towing & Transport

Sometimes a boat doesn't need to be scrapped. It needs to be moved. We provide boat towing and overland transport for vessels that need to be relocated to a new property, storage yard, or destination, within Florida or across state lines to Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

  • Overland transport for trailered and non-trailered boats
  • Towing between properties, marinas, or storage locations
  • Support for boats without a working trailer
  • Statewide Florida coverage, plus GA, AL, NC & SC
Junk boat disposal service in Florida
Junk Boat Removal & Disposal Florida

Boat Disposal & Junk Boat Removal

When a boat is beyond repair, it just becomes something to deal with. We provide junk boat removal and disposal for hulls sitting in yards, on trailers, or at the water's edge, so you don't have to figure out how to get rid of it yourself.

  • Removal of junk and non-repairable boats
  • Works with boats on trailers or sitting directly on the ground
  • Proper disposal handled after removal
  • Available statewide across Florida, plus GA, AL, NC & SC
Insurance boat recovery and claims assistance in Florida

  • Boat recovery and removal for insurance-related situations
  • Documentation of boat condition and location on request

Mr. Farmer is knowledgeable and punctual in salvage operations. What was a disastrous headache for me became a quick and easy fix and grateful. He definitely went above and beyond expectations.

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. David

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.

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!

Service Questions

Choosing the Right Boat Removal Service

How do I know which boat removal service I need?

It depends on your boat's condition and location. Abandoned or unwanted boats typically need standard removal, damaged or sunken boats need recovery or salvage, and boats being relocated need towing or transport. If you're not sure, call us and describe the situation, and we'll point you to the right service.

Can one company handle both salvage and disposal?

Yes. We coordinate removal, salvage, towing, transport, and disposal under one point of contact, so you're not managing multiple vendors for a single boat.

Do you remove boats that are on a trailer?

Yes. We remove boats whether they're on a trailer, sitting directly on the ground, at a dock, or in the water.

What if my boat is partially or fully sunk?

Sunken and partially submerged boats fall under our sunken boat recovery service. We evaluate the site and the boat's position before recovery begins.

How much does boat removal cost?

Cost depends on the boat's size, condition, location, and accessibility. Share the details through our quote form or by phone, and we'll discuss pricing for your specific situation.

Do you service my county?

We provide boat removal and salvage services statewide across Florida, plus select areas of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Call to confirm coverage for your location.
