Sunken Boat Removal
A boat that has sunk at the dock or in a canal does not get better with time. It can leak fuel and oil, damage the dock and seawall, block other boats, and attract attention from the marina or authorities. The sooner it is raised and removed, the simpler the job tends to be.
How sunken boat removal works
Depending on the size of the boat and how deep it sits, a sunken boat is usually stabilized, floated or lifted, and then moved to where it can be pulled out and taken away. Each job is planned around the water depth, the access and the condition of the hull.
Partly submerged boats
Many calls are for boats that are only partly underwater, swamped at a dock or resting on the bottom of a shallow canal. These are often easier to deal with early, before they settle further.
Why it matters to act early
Florida treats derelict and sunken vessels seriously, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission can take action against owners. If your boat is underwater, calling sooner keeps your options open.

Frequently asked questions
What details do you need for a sunken boat?
The boat's length and type, roughly how deep it is, where it is (dock, canal, marina) and how long it has been down.
Is a sunken boat more expensive to remove?
Usually, because it takes more equipment and time. The price depends on the specific situation, so call and describe it.
Can you remove a sunken jet ski or small boat?
Yes. Smaller vessels are often simpler, but the same details help us plan.
