Start by reaching out — you can fill out our online form or give us a call. We’ll ask for basic details like the boat’s size, location, condition, and whether it’s on land, in water, or sunk. If you have photos, even better! This helps us give you a more accurate estimate.
Once we review the details and photos, our team will provide you with a no-obligation quote. We base our estimate on the size of the vessel, the complexity of the job (like access to the site), and any extra services needed (such as disposal, cleanup, or transport).
When you're ready to move forward, we’ll send over a simple service agreement and any required documents. Everything is clear and straightforward. Once signed and the payment is made, we’ll schedule the job at a time that works best for you.
Our team arrives to inspect the site, confirm logistics, and ensure all equipment and access are properly set up.
From removal and transport to cleanup, we complete the job with safety, speed, and care.

We operate with full insurance and all necessary permits, ensuring legal and professional service every time.
Our crew has years of hands-on experience in boat removal, transport, and salvage operations.
Our processes prioritize sustainability – we recycle boats and components.
We understand that dealing with an unwanted boat can be costly, but we believe responsible disposal shouldn’t break the bank

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 Cole KoenigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had to get a boat removed from a vacant lot and they exceeded our expectations for a fair price. Would highly recommend using their services!Posted on Samantha BowenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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 Sharon MilliganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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 Carmen SantanaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice guy straight forward. Job well done. On time no issuesPosted on 1 Corinthians 13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm grateful for their services; AAA Boat Salvage is the one to call. Thanks a millionPosted on reanna bourqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Not only did they pick up my phone call at all, but they were kind and professional, annnnnnnd they sent us a quote within the hour. The receptionist was fabulous too!
