Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Our Dover boat removal crews know how to handle all types of vessels of every size. State or county orders for removal often have deadlines. Professional boat removal services can provide proof of compliance to avoid fines.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Getting rid of a boat in Dover hauled up from the Strouds Run State Park boat launch that's seen better days can be a real struggle. Unstable boat hulls create safety hazards during transport. Our AAA Rousse Team will take down the masts, remove all gear and electronics, and, when necessary, detach the flybridge. Bigger boats usually need a little extra work, like crushing or demolition, before a landfill will accept them. We handle that step carefully, making sure it’s done the right way for both you and the environment. Let AAA Rousse professionals handle it all.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removals around Dover often start at Dow Lake, where aging vessels left at the Burr Oak State Park marina sit forgotten after seasons of limited use. Owners also call us for pontoons grounded along the Hocking Hills region waterways, or for runabouts that sank at the Athens County Fairgrounds boat landing and were never recovered. These situations require permits, water hauls, and careful rigging before transport can begin.

A second wave of calls comes from inland storage at Wayne National Forest access points, where trailered hulls have sat on expired permits for years. We also field requests from private ponds off State Route 78, where abandoned jon boats or canoes have become eyesores and environmental concerns. In each case our crew coordinates with local authorities, handles all paperwork, and delivers the vessel to a certified disposal or recycling facility.

I was cleaning out a family member’s house that bordered on being a hoarder. I called AAA Rousse and they were able to promptly meet my junk hauling needs on two separate occasions. The men providing the service were friendly and professional. They definitely made the process easy.

The family owned company was wonderful! They came in and undertook a very difficult project without complaining and they did it at the price that they quoted to us originally. They were friendly patient hard-working and did a great job! We would not hesitate to call them again and we would recommend them to anyone we know.

We had a really great experience with the company with our hot tub removal. Everyone that we worked with was super accomodating, friendly & got the job done quickly and professionally. They also communicate really well. Would highly recommend for any junk or hot tub removal.

Rob's son Ron did a wonderful job removing a large sofa, loveseat and reclining chair. He arrived as scheduled, was courteous, funny and engaging. I would recommend AAA Rouse Junk Removal without hesitation.

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!
