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 boat removal, marine salvage, sunken boat recovery, and paid junk boat disposal throughout Volusia County. Describe where the vessel sits, what condition it is in, and whether you need recovery from the water, removal from land, or both recovery and disposal.

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 vessel at a Daytona Beach marina, a boat beside an Ormond Beach riverfront home, and a deteriorated hull stored inland require different access plans. Give us the boat’s actual position and a separate entrance location if the property is large or access is controlled.
Volusia County includes 16 municipalities. The city list below helps you identify the service area, but the estimate is based on your vessel and site. For an unincorporated address or a boat away from its usual slip, a map pin is more useful than the mailing city alone.
Identify the slip, basin, or dock and the person responsible for facility access. Explain whether neighboring boats or shared walkways limit the available working area.
For a submerged or grounded vessel, describe the waterbody and its current position relative to shore. Include what is known about depth and bottom contact, and clearly identify any unknown measurements.
Paid junk boat disposal also applies to boats on land. Photograph the hull, trailer or supports, and the route to the street so the removal requirements can be assessed together.
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.


We cover all 16 municipalities and other county locations. The detailed city pages below explain different access and recovery situations; for any other address, tell us where the boat is and what work is needed.
For a waterfront vessel, identify the waterbody and boat position. For an inland boat, describe the supports and access from the entrance. 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 Volusia 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 recovery request and a disposal request may be part of the same job, but they are different tasks. Tell us the intended outcome at the start. If several vessels are involved, label the photographs and describe each boat separately so the scope does not depend on a single general description.
A boat submerged beside a dock may require recovery work before its removal can be planned. An inland vessel may instead involve restricted ground access or deteriorated supports. Volusia County estimates account for these tasks, vessel size and condition, and the agreed disposal scope.
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.
The saved FWC record identifies Bethune Point Park on Atlantic ICW (Volusia County) Halifax River in Volusia 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 Bethune Point Park on Atlantic ICW (Volusia County) Halifax River and Candace R. Strawn Lake Dias Park and Public Boat Ramp on Lake Dias. 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 Bethune Point Park is 11 Bellevue Avenue, DAYTONA BEACH, 32114; 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 Volusia County 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![]()

Local waterfront context includes Halifax River and Mosquito Lagoon. 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 Volusia County, use the guide for its actual location.
