Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

You might think it's easy, but removing a boat in Northern near Wayne Fitzgerald State Park can be tricky. Limited disposal sites are always a problem. Our crew dismantles the mast, removes all equipment and electronics from the vessel, and, if necessary, detaches the fly bridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, some prep work is required. We manage the entire process for you, so your boat is ready for disposal without any hassle. Boat removal made simple.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Rend Lake draws boaters from across the region, and when vessels age out or become unsafe, owners need reliable removal. Slips at Rend Lake Marina fill with abandoned hulls each season, and the boat launch at Gun Creek Recreation Area sees derelict boats left at the ramp. AAA Rousse handles pickups from docks, ramps, and dry storage throughout the area.

Waterlogged and storm damaged boats are also common along the Big Muddy River, where flooding can strand vessels on banks or in shallow backwaters. Owners near Wayne Fitzgerald State Park frequently call after a hull settles into soft ground following high water. The Rend Lake Boat Launch is another spot where forgotten or unregistered vessels accumulate and require professional extraction and proper disposal.

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!.
