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.
A boat beside a riverfront dock, a grounded vessel near the coast, and an unwanted hull in an inland yard each call for a different approach. We assess St. Johns County boat removal and marine salvage requests around the vessel’s condition and the access available.
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 St. Johns County request, send the vessel’s actual address or map pin and identify whether it is on land, at a dock, grounded, or submerged. An oceanfront address and a riverfront access point can describe very different jobs.
We cover St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Vilano Beach, and other county communities. The county directory below helps you choose a local page; the exact vessel position determines how the job is assessed.
For boats near the coast, describe whether the hull is in the water or ashore. Show the approach and any barriers between the road and vessel. Do not assume public beach access provides an equipment route.
Include a water-side map pin, the property entrance, dock layout, and depth if known. Identify the site contact who can discuss access and the boat’s position.
Photograph the supports, trailer if present, and the loading area. Include gates, turning space, and ground conditions so removal planning reflects the actual property.
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.
Fruit Cove, Switzerland, Hastings, Tocoi, Orangedale, and other St. Johns County locations.
Send the exact address or a map pin, even if your community is not listed. Include whether the vessel is at a dock, on land, grounded, or submerged.
We assess waterfront recovery and inland paid disposal throughout the county. The vessel’s condition and access determine the approach.
Request EstimatePaid 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 St. Johns 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 RemovalA countywide request may start with an urgent recovery or a planned property cleanup. Describe the outcome you need and whether a vessel must first be lifted, recovered, or removed from supports. If several boats are involved, identify each by length, condition, and position.
The estimate depends on the specific vessel and site. A submerged hull may require a recovery assessment before disposal can be scoped; an inland hull may primarily require loading access. Ask which tasks are included and which site changes could require a revised 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 Deep Creek at County Road 207 Primitive Access on St. Johns River - Deep Creek in St. Johns 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 Deep Creek at County Road 207 Primitive Access on St. Johns River - Deep Creek and GTM Guana River Dam Recreation Area - Lake Access Ramp (10 HP Max) on Guana 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 Deep Creek at County Road 207 Primitive Access is County Road 207, HASTINGS, 32145; 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 St. Johns 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 Matanzas River and St. Johns River. 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 St. Johns County, use the guide for its actual location.

Hand-launch-only sites and listed closures are excluded. Confirm current conditions, hours, fees and any commercial-use permission with the operator. A listed ramp is not a promised recovery route or an AAA facility.
For a recovery estimate, send the boat’s actual location. The nearest public launch may not be the suitable recovery access point.
Selected facility references for St. Johns County. Use the facility name and actual vessel position to describe your request. These are location references, not AAA offices or partner endorsements.

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.
