Boat salvage in Los Angeles, CA: we get your vessel back

Boat salvage in LA: what you're dealing with

We know Los Angeles waters don't forgive mistakes. Between the traffic at Marina del Rey, the busy shipping channels off the coast, and the wind events that roll in fast off the Pacific, a vessel in peril needs a response team that's already familiar with the territory. Our marine salvage service covers emergency response for all types of situations, from a grounded powerboat in the shallows to a wrecked commercial craft off the dock. We serve Los Angeles and surrounding areas across Los Angeles County, recovering vessels of any size safely and efficiently.

We're a local company, and we take environmental protection seriously during every vessel recovery operation. Whether your boat is grounded, damaged, or wrecked at a marina, our team is ready to handle it in Los Angeles, CA.

Types of salvage situations we handle

We offer a full range of recovery services designed for the unique challenges of the Los Angeles Harbor and the Los Angeles River.

• Damaged vessel recovery — We move fast to prevent a bad situation from becoming a total loss. Using lift bags, pumps, and rigging, we stabilize your boat and get it out of harm's way, whether it's taking on water at the dock or listing hard offshore. Speed matters, and our salvage process starts the moment we get your call.
• Grounded vessel assistance — Before we move anything, we do a full assessment to protect against hull damage. From there, we carefully work to refloat the grounded vessel or wrecked vessel and get it to safe water. Types of salvage situations we handle range from shallow sandbar groundings to harder reef strikes along the Southern California coast.
• Underwater operations — Our certified divers handle the work you can't see from the surface. Hull inspections, patching, and rigging in low-visibility conditions are part of the job. If something needs to be done below the waterline first, that's where we start.
• Environmental containment and mitigation — The moment we arrive, we deploy containment booms to protect Los Angeles Harbor and surrounding waterways. Our team manages all hazardous materials responsibly, staying in compliance with Coast Guard and state regulations. Insurance coverage for salvage often depends on how quickly and correctly this step is handled, so we don't cut corners here.

Our salvage process, start to finish

When you've got a vessel in peril, you need more than just a tow. You need a crew that's done this before, knows these waters, and won't flinch at a tough job. Here's why we're the right call:

• We handle the tough jobs — Our certified divers and salvage crew work through submerged obstacles and accessibility issues that stop other companies cold. We've built our salvage process around the situations most crews walk away from, and 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 for us. The types of salvage situations we handle don't keep business hours, and neither do we.
• Asset protection and environmental responsibility — Our twofold mission is saving your vessel's value by stopping further damage fast, and keeping Los Angeles waterways clean with immediate containment. One doesn't come at the expense of the other.
• Direct insurance support — We provide clear, professional documentation to streamline your insurance claim, cutting down on the back-and-forth and the paperwork headaches. Insurance coverage for salvage can get complicated fast, and we help you move through it without the runaround.
