Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal
The reality is that boat removal from DuSable Harbor is often much tougher than it seems for Chicago area residents. Some older vessels often contain asbestos insulation. Our Teams take off the masts, clear out the boat’s gear and electronics and cut off the flybridge if needed. Larger boats usually need to be crushed or demolished before a landfill will take them - and our team takes care of that process. You just sit back - AAA Rousse takes care of the rest.
Common Boat Removal Scenarios
In Chicago, many boat removals begin along the Chicago River, where vessels moored near the Kinzie Street Bridge develop mechanical issues or fall into disrepair after the boating season ends. Owners in the River North district frequently call for emergency haul outs after winter ice damage, and our crews navigate tight urban waterways to safely extract and transport boats of all sizes from these locations.
Boats stored at Montrose Harbor account for a large share of seasonal removals, particularly after storm surges push vessels against docks. Owners near the Belmont Harbor area also request mid season pulls when engines fail or hulls are compromised. Our team coordinates with harbor staff to handle everything from routine end of season haul outs to urgent recoveries throughout Cook County.
