Boat salvage in Miami's toughest waters
We know Miami waters. Between the packed marina slips, the constant traffic through Government Cut, and the tropical storms that roll in fast, having a vessel in peril here is a serious situation that needs a serious response. Our team handles emergency response for all types of boat salvage and recovery across Miami, FL and the surrounding waters of Miami-Dade County — from Biscayne Bay to the Intracoastal. Our marine salvage service is built to safely and efficiently recover vessels of any size, whether you're a private boat owner or running a commercial fleet.
We're a local company that takes environmental protection seriously during every vessel recovery. Grounded on a sandbar, wrecked at a dock, or listing hard after a storm — we've got you covered in Miami.
Types of salvage situations we handle
We offer a full range of recovery services designed for the unique challenges of Biscayne Bay and the Miami River.
- Damaged vessel recovery — We deploy lift bags, pumps, and rigging fast to stabilize your boat and get it back under control. Our salvage process moves quickly because waiting turns a manageable situation into a total loss. From powerboats to charter vessels, we've handled it all across Miami waters.
- Grounded vessel assistance — When a boat runs aground, the wrong move can split a hull wide open. We run a full assessment first, then work carefully to refloat the grounded vessel, or a wrecked vessel if it's come to that, and make sure it gets to safe harbor without adding to the hull damage.
- Underwater operations — Our certified divers handle the jobs you can't see from the surface. Hull inspections, patching, cutting fouled lines, rigging for recovery. Low visibility in the Miami River or murky bay water doesn't slow us down. These are the types of salvage situations we handle that most crews won't touch.
- Environmental containment and mitigation — The moment we arrive, environmental containment is already in motion. We deploy booms, manage fuel and hazardous materials responsibly, and document everything. Protecting Miami's waterways is part of the job, and it's also something your insurance coverage for salvage claims will want to see handled right.
Our salvage process, start to finish
When you've got a vessel in peril, you need more than someone who'll show up eventually. You need a crew that's done the tough jobs before and knows exactly what to do next.
- We handle the tough jobs — Our certified divers and experienced crew push through submerged obstacles and accessibility issues that send other companies packing. Whether it's a night recovery in Biscayne Bay or a wreck wedged under a dock, our salvage process is built for the situations 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 for us. The types of salvage situations we handle don't wait for business hours, and neither do we.
- Asset protection and environmental responsibility — Our mission runs two ways. We work fast to prevent further damage and protect the vessel's value, and we contain any environmental threat to Miami's waterways from the moment we arrive. Boat salvage done right means leaving the water cleaner than we found it.
- Direct insurance support — We know insurance coverage for salvage can feel like a second disaster. That's why we provide clear, thorough documentation of every step so we can streamline your insurance claim, cut down the paperwork, and get you through the process with a lot less stress.
