Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Unwanted boats in Menlo, including those pulled from the Panorama Ramp boat launch, tend to be more complicated to remove than expected. Specialized cranes or barges may be required. Our team takes down the mast, removes the boat’s equipment and electronics, and cuts off the flybridge if needed. Since most landfills can’t take larger boats as they are, they need to be crushed or dismantled first. Don’t worry - our team takes care of that for you, making the whole process simple and stress-free. Relax - we’ve got it handled.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around Menlo most often starts at Lake Panorama, where aging pontoons and motorboats are left docked or partially submerged after seasons of neglect. The Lake Panorama National marina also sees requests from owners who can no longer maintain slips or trailers. Waterlogged hulls and storm damaged vessels at the public ramp on Lakeview Drive round out the most common calls our crews receive.

Further out, the Raccoon River corridor generates removal work as flooded or abandoned fishing boats lodge against banks or under low bridges in Guthrie County. Overland jobs along the gravel stretches of Highway 4 bring in sunken trailers and deteriorating hulls stored in farm lots for years. These rural retrievals often require specialized rigging and load planning before any haul can begin.

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!
