Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Boat removal services in Delmar must be carried out by professionals to be done right. Boats with seized engines are heavy and difficult to transport. Professionals use winches, cranes, and tow rigs to remove them safely. Strict local ordinances, difficult towing arrangements, and disposal laws can slow removal efforts.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Delmar boat owners are discovering that boat removal and disposal takes more time and effort than they realized. Shallow waters or sandbars near Lake Hendricks in Delmar can make boat transport very difficult. AAA Rousse’s crew handles all the dismantling: removing masts, stripping electronics and gear, and cutting the flybridge if required. Because landfills generally do not take large vessels as-is, extra steps like crushing or dismantling are required. We manage this process from start to finish, ensuring your boat is prepared and accepted without hassle. Stress-free boat removal? Leave it to us.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Owners along the Maquoketa River and Lake Hendricks frequently call for removal of waterlogged hulls that have sat through hard Iowa winters. Pontoons and fishing boats left in the water too long along the Wapsipinicon River become hazards, and their owners often need full haul out, transport, and disposal handled in a single visit without the burden of arranging separate towing.

Vessels trailered to the Green Island Wildlife Area boat launch and abandoned on adjacent gravel are among the most common removal requests crews encounter in this area. Boats stored at facilities similar to the Clinton County fairgrounds storage yard also turn up derelict after owners relocate or pass on, requiring dismantling, title clearance assistance, and eco conscious recycling of remaining materials.

The best company I've ever used when dealing with our building clean up. We are in the process of selling and the buyers are extremely unreasonable but after hearing about AAA and dealing with Jennine and her assurance that our property would be professionally cleaned and all cleared (equipment, debris, trash etc..) not only did she deliver on that promise but knocked it out of the ballpark!! Thank you so much AAA and Jennine, we could have NEVER done it without you.

I can’t say enough about how helpful Janine and her crew from AAARousse were in disposing of a catamaran on our property. When they realized it wasn’t on a trailer, they cut it up manually. And it was all done in one day. I called the office this morning and by afternoon it was gone. Thanks so much!

I would definitely recommend AAA Rousse Junk Removal. Stephanie was so helpful in finding the right crew who would come out to our remote location to remove furniture and appliances from our camp. She kept in contact and organized everything from beginning to end. Thanks to Colby and crew for driving the almost 2 hrs and the great job in clearing out all the stuff!
