Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Proper boat removal in Humboldt can only be done safely with the right marine team and equipment, especially for vessels accessed through the Gillette Grove area. Inherited boats often come without titles or paperwork. Our boat removers understand how to legally and properly dispose of vessels in these situations. The combination of towing, disposal, and local regulatory issues can cause delays.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Disposing of an aging boat in Humboldt often becomes challenging, particularly for vessels pulled from Twin Lakes. Lead paint and other toxic materials require special handling. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Landfills generally can’t take larger vessels unless they’re first crushed or demolished. Sit back and let the AAA Rousse team handle it all.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal along the Des Moines River corridor is one of the most common calls we handle in this area. Owners who stored vessels near Frank Gotch Park often find that seasonal flooding or years of neglect have left hulls sunken or stuck in soft riverbank mud. Deteriorating pontoons and aged fishing boats on private lots near Cottonwood Lake round out many of our routine removal jobs.

Inherited boats with no titles left sitting on trailers behind homes in the Gilman neighborhood are another frequent scenario, as families simply do not know how to legally dispose of them. Twin Lakes area docks sometimes hold waterlogged vessels that require water extraction before haul out. Humboldt residents also call us when county storage yards flag abandoned boats that have overstayed their welcome.

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).
