Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Disposing of a damaged or abandoned vessel in Van Buren along the St. Louis River is a task best left to our experienced professionals. Boats too old or damaged for insurance coverage pose liability risks. Professionals guarantee complete removal and provide liability release documentation. Local compliance, towing logistics, and environmental disposal laws can create roadblocks to removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Van Buren residents near Indian Point Campground often discover that old boat disposal is anything but simple. Fiberglass disposal is challenging and limited in facilities. Our crews dismantle masts, clear the boat of gear and electronics, and remove the flybridge if required. Most large boats need to be crushed or dismantled before a landfill will accept them. We’ve got it covered - let AAA Rousse take care of everything for you.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal around this area frequently involves vessels left on the shorelines of Island Lake and Mud Lake, where seasonal ice and shifting water levels leave hulls stranded far from usable ramps. Owners often abandon watercraft after a hard winter, and recovering them requires specialized equipment and knowledge of the local terrain and water access points along the Whitefish Chain.

Storage lots near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness corridor and public launches at Pfeiffer Lake see a steady flow of neglected canoes, jon boats, and pontoons left past their useful life. Van Buren crews also respond to sunken or partially submerged vessels in the Embarrass River, where currents and shallow depths make standard tow out methods impractical without proper salvage rigging.

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).
