Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Professional marine crews are essential for proper vessel removal anywhere along Egypt Bay in Franklin. Neglected boats can leak gas, oil, or sewage.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

The reality is that boat removal is often much tougher than it seems for Franklin area residents near Sullivan Harbor. 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

Boat removal calls in this area often start at the public ramps along Donnell Pond, where anglers leave trailered hulls that no longer run. Wrecked aluminum fishing boats are a common pull from the shoreline at Raccoon Cove, and deteriorated wooden vessels tied off at old working wharves on Frenchman Bay are recovered regularly, sometimes requiring crane support to free hulls that have settled into the mud.

Storm damage along the Union River routinely pushes abandoned skiffs and pontoons into coves where they become navigation hazards. Owners upgrading at the Schoodic Peninsula boat launch often leave older fiberglass runabouts behind, and estate situations in the inland reaches of Hancock County produce barn stored hulls on trailers that have not moved in decades, requiring flatbed transport before the haul to our processing facility can begin.

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!
