Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

In Martin, the process of boat removal can turn out to be unexpectedly difficult. Many marinas or property owners want old boats removed quickly, but the process often takes longer than expected due to weather, time sensitivity, towing restrictions along Palestine Road, and more. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Larger vessels can’t go to a landfill unless we crush or demolish them. Let the AAA Rousse do all the work for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Martin most commonly involves vessels that have sat unused on trailers or in storage for years near the Embarras River bottoms. Owners settling estates or clearing rural properties along Route 1 often find deteriorating aluminum fishing boats and flat bottomed jon boats that have sunken into the ground and need specialized extraction before transport.

Situations at the Lincoln Trail State Fish and Wildlife Area boat launch also bring regular calls, with waterlogged hulls and storm damaged vessels left abandoned after flooding seasons on the Embarras River. Properties near Crawford County roads with limited turnaround also present logistical challenges, requiring our crews to plan access carefully before arriving with heavy equipment.

I received same day service. The men who removed the old trailer from my property were on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would recommend AAA Rousse for any junk or trailer removal job.

Stephanie was extremely flexible in scheduling our time slot. She was willing to schedule for the very next morning, if we wanted. We live on the 5th floor in a condominium complex, and Stephanie parked in a discrete place and quickly removed the everything without getting in the way of the other residents in the building. She was very sharp and didn't need to hear directions twice. We would call her again in a heartbeat!.
