Boat salvage on Aurora's reservoirs and waterways

We've built our marine salvage service around the realities of boating in Aurora, CO. Reservoirs like Aurora Reservoir and the surrounding waterways in Arapahoe County see their share of rough weather, equipment failures, and vessels in peril — and when something goes wrong out there, you need a crew that knows how to respond fast. Our emergency response covers all types of boat salvage and vessel recovery for residential and commercial clients across Aurora and nearby areas. We safely and efficiently recover vessels of any size, from small recreational boats to larger commercial craft.

We're a local company, grounded in this community and committed to protecting the water during every recovery. Whether your boat is wrecked at a dock, stuck at the marina, or grounded on a shoreline, we handle it.

Types of salvage situations we handle in Aurora

We offer a full range of recovery services designed for the unique challenges of Cherry Creek Reservoir and the Aurora waterways.

  • Damaged vessel recovery — We use lift bags, pumps, and rigging to stabilize your boat fast and get it out of the water before conditions get worse. We move fast to prevent a bad situation from becoming a total loss, and we know our salvage process inside out.
  • Grounded vessel assistance — Before we do anything else, we run a full assessment of how the boat is sitting to avoid making the hull damage worse. Then we carefully refloat the grounded vessel or wrecked vessel and make sure it gets to shore in one piece. If you're working through insurance coverage for salvage, we can document everything along the way.
  • Underwater operations — Our certified divers handle the jobs you can't do from the surface. Hull inspections, patching, rigging prep, you name it. They work confidently in low-visibility water and don't cut corners when conditions get tough. These are the types of salvage situations we handle that most outfits won't touch.
  • Environmental containment and mitigation — The moment we arrive on scene, we deploy containment booms and get control of any fuel or hazardous materials before they spread. Protecting Cherry Creek Reservoir and the surrounding water is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Our salvage process, start to finish

When you've got a vessel in peril, you need more than a crew that shows up and shrugs. You need people who've seen the tough jobs and finished them anyway. Here's why we're the right call.

  • We handle the tough jobs — Our crew and certified divers work through submerged obstacles and accessibility issues that stop other companies cold. The types of salvage situations we handle are the ones most outfits won't touch. We recover what others leave behind.
  • 24/7 emergency readiness — Day or night, storm or calm, our team is on standby. We're moving when you call, not when it's convenient. Every hour matters in a real salvage situation, and we don't waste yours.
  • Asset protection and environmental responsibility — Our salvage process is built around two things: protecting the vessel's value by stopping further damage fast, and keeping Aurora's waterways clean with immediate containment. Both matter. We don't treat one as optional.
  • Direct insurance support — Insurance coverage for salvage can get complicated, and the last thing you need is a stack of confusing paperwork. We provide clear, professional documentation to streamline your insurance claim, so you spend less time on the phone and more time moving forward.
