Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The process of getting rid of a junk boat in Chain-O-Lakes is often more challenging than it first appears, especially when the vessel sits at a Fishers Lake waterfront property. Boats partially sunk are extremely difficult to lift, float, and tow. Our work also includes removing masts, stripping out electronics, and, if necessary, reducing the flybridge. Larger vessels often require demolition or crushing before they can be disposed of at a landfill. We take care of this step for you, making the entire removal and disposal process smooth and stress-free. AAA Rousse - we do it all, so you don’t have to.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boats on Pine Lake and Long Lake are frequently abandoned at the shoreline or left half submerged after a season of neglect, making removal a technical challenge that requires rigging, pumping, and careful hauling. Owners on Lemon Lake also call us after storing a vessel on a lift over winter only to find the hull has cracked beyond repair and the boat must be removed before the dock can be used again.

At the Potato Creek State Park boat launch and along the shores of Hudson Lake, we regularly recover vessels that were trailered in but could not be retrieved because of engine failure or storm damage. Bass Lake sees a similar pattern each spring, when seasonal residents discover a sunken or waterlogged boat and need a licensed crew to extract it, haul it out, and handle all disposal paperwork in St. Joseph County.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
