How Our Salvage and Recovery Process Works

Here's the thing about boat removal in Michigan — whether you're dealing with a rusted-out hull sitting in your backyard or a full-on foundering or sunken boat removal situation on one of our lakes, the process looks different every time. Our crew starts with a real assessment, figuring out whether we're working on water or land before anything else moves. For submerged vessels, we bring in the marine salvage equipment needed to actually get the job done safely — no guessing, no shortcuts. Once we haul it out, we remove and dispose of materials following state guidelines, so you're not left holding a liability. Our approach to salvage and disposal includes dismantling and disposal of hulls, motors, and yes, crews dismantle masts when they're part of the picture. We're big on eco-conscious disposal — recycling parts wherever possible. Bottom line, we handle disposal in a way that's safe and responsible, and keeps Michigan's waterways clean. That's just how we do boat salvage.
