Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
Unwanted boats in Buckner near the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area boat launch tend to be more complicated to remove than expected. Specialized cranes or barges may be required. Our team takes down the mast, removes the boat’s equipment and electronics, and cuts off the flybridge if needed. Since most landfills can’t take larger boats as they are, they need to be crushed or dismantled first. Don’t worry - our team takes care of that for you, making the whole process simple and stress-free. Relax - we’ve got it handled.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
Rend Lake draws thousands of boaters each season, and vessels left at the Rend Lake Marina or along the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area shoreline often fall into disrepair. Owners abandon aging pontoons and motorboats after mechanical failures or title disputes, leaving hulls partially submerged or blocking active slips and requiring professional extraction by certified marine removal crews.
Along the Big Muddy River and in low lying inlets like Gun Creek, flood events regularly strand or sink vessels that owners cannot recover on their own. Salvage teams must navigate tight access via Rend City Road and coordinate with local authorities to pull waterlogged hulls safely, preventing environmental hazards from fuel and fiberglass debris spreading into surrounding wetlands and farmland.
