How Our Salvage and Recovery Process Works

Whether we're dealing with foundering or sunken boat removal, a rotting hull on a trailer, or submerged vessels buried in silt, our process starts with a real assessment — not a guesswork quote over the phone. We send a crew out to look at what's actually there. For marine salvage jobs, that means checking water depth, access points, and structural condition before we ever touch anything. Our crews dismantle masts, rigging, and hardware on site, whether the work happens on water or land. From there, we figure out the cleanest path to salvage and disposal that keeps things safe for the environment and legal under Maine regulations. We remove and dispose of materials responsibly, prioritizing eco-conscious disposal wherever we can — recycling parts that still have life in them. Bottom line, we handle disposal the way it should be done: safe and responsible, start to finish. That's what boat salvage means to us.

Common Questions About Boat Removal Answered

  • What is grounded boat removal?

    Grounded boat removal covers any situation where a boat isn't floating — think an onshore or grounded sailboat stuck on a beach, or a dry-docked vessel that's been sitting in a yard for years. We handle the whole thing, start to finish.

  • What size boats do you take?

    Pretty much anything. Got a beat-up motorboat or an old motor boat taking up dock space? We'll take it. Same goes for a sailboat, a yacht, a pontoon — even old junk you've written off. Whatever size vessel it is, we can work with it.

  • What if my boat has hazardous materials on it?

    That's actually where things can get tricky. If the boat was found with fuel, oil, or other hazardous fluids still on board, the boat needs proper handling before anything else. For those boat service needs — cranes, boat lifts, containment — contact us, boat removal included, and we'll sort it out safely.

  • How do I get started?

    Just call us today for boat removal and we'll walk you through everything. When you reach us today for boat removal services, we'll ask a few quick questions and give you a straight answer on cost and timing. Our boat removal removes the headache of dealing with abandoned vessels on your own.
