Salvage Boat Removal Specialists

Standard tow companies aren’t equipped to remove damaged or salvage-titled vessels. We are. 

At Your Local Boat Removal, we specialize in removing boats that have been declared salvage — whether from storm damage, accidents, fire, or simply being beyond repair. Our nationwide network handles the extraction and disposal of vessels that others walk away from. We utilize heavy-lift cranes, specialized trailers, and proper equipment to remove salvage boats safely and legally.

Salvage Boat Removal FAQs

What is a salvage boat?

A salvage boat is a vessel that has been declared a total loss by insurance, or has sustained damage (storm, fire, collision) that makes it uneconomical to repair. These boats typically have a “salvage title” indicating their condition.

Pricing depends on the boat’s size, condition, location, and accessibility. Salvage boats often require more equipment due to structural damage. Contact us with photos for a free, accurate quote.

Do I need a salvage title to have my boat removed?

Not necessarily. We remove boats in all conditions — whether they have a salvage title, regular title, or no title at all. We can guide you through the paperwork requirements for your specific situation.

If your boat was totaled by insurance, removal may be covered under your policy. We work directly with insurance companies and can coordinate billing in many cases.
