Boat salvage in Minneapolis, MN: we pull boats out of trouble

Boat salvage on Minneapolis lakes and rivers

We know Minneapolis waters. Between the busy marina traffic on Lake Minnetonka, unpredictable Minnesota weather, and the tight channels running through Hennepin County, a vessel in peril can become a serious crisis fast. Our team handles emergency response for all types of boat salvage situations, from grounded runabouts to wrecked commercial vessels. We serve residential and commercial clients across Minneapolis, MN and the surrounding region, and our salvage process is built to safely and efficiently recover vessels of any size.

As a local marine salvage service, we protect the environment during every vessel recovery. Whether your boat is grounded, wrecked, or taking on water at a dock, we've got you covered.

Types of salvage situations we handle

We offer a full range of recovery services designed for the unique challenges of Lake Minnetonka and the Minneapolis River system.

• Damaged vessel recovery — We deploy lift bags, pumps, and rigging to stabilize a stricken boat fast and pull it to safety. We move fast to prevent a bad situation from becoming a total loss, and our salvage process is built around minimizing further damage from the first call.
• Grounded vessel assistance — Before we do anything else, we run a full assessment to understand what we're dealing with and avoid making hull damage worse. From there, we carefully refloat the grounded vessel or wrecked vessel and coordinate safe transport off the water. These are among the most common types of salvage situations we handle on local lakes.
• Underwater operations — Our certified divers go where equipment can't, handling hull inspections, patching, and rigging attachment in low-visibility Minnesota waters. Complex jobs underwater require hands-on skill, and that's exactly what we bring. Insurance coverage for salvage often applies to this work, so ask us what documentation we can provide.
• Environmental containment and mitigation — The moment we arrive on scene, we deploy containment booms and get control of any hazardous materials before they spread. Protecting Minneapolis waterways is part of every job we take on, not an afterthought.

Our salvage process, start to finish

When you've got a vessel in peril, you need more than someone who shows up eventually. You need a crew that's done the tough jobs before and knows exactly what to do next. Here's why we're the right call:

• We handle the tough jobs — Our certified divers and experienced crew work through submerged obstacles and accessibility issues that stop other companies cold. Types of salvage situations we handle run the full range, from capsized fishing boats to vessels pinned against docks after a storm. We recover what others walk away from.

• 24/7 emergency readiness — Day or night, storm or calm, our team is on standby. When you call, we're already moving. Our salvage process starts the moment we pick up, because waiting costs you more than time.

• Asset protection and environmental responsibility — Our mission is twofold. We work to preserve your boat's value by stopping further damage fast, and we protect Minneapolis waterways with immediate containment the moment we're on scene. Both matter. Neither gets skipped.

• Direct insurance support — We know insurance coverage for salvage can feel like a second disaster. That's why we provide clear, professional documentation to streamline your insurance claim, cutting down the back-and-forth and getting you to resolution faster.
