Boat salvage Seattle: we pull vessels back from the edge

Boat salvage in Seattle waters

We know Seattle waters. The busy shipping channels around Elliott Bay, the crowded marina slips from Shilshole to Portage Bay, and the Pacific Northwest weather that can turn fast — all of it creates real risk when you've got a vessel in peril. Our marine salvage service covers emergency response for all types of situations, handling vessel recovery for residential and commercial clients across Seattle, WA and King County. From a grounded runabout to a wrecked commercial craft, our salvage process is built to safely and efficiently recover boats of any size.

We're a local company that knows these waters and takes environmental protection seriously during every recovery. Whether your boat is grounded, damaged, or wrecked at a dock, we handle it.

Types of salvage situations we handle

We offer a full range of recovery services designed for the unique challenges of Puget Sound and the Seattle waterways.

• Damaged vessel recovery — We move fast to prevent a bad situation from becoming a total loss. Using lift bags, pumps, and rigging, our crew stabilizes and recovers damaged boats from wherever they've gone down, whether that's a marina slip, open water, or a rocky shoreline.
• Grounded vessel assistance — Before we move anything, we do a full assessment to avoid making hull damage worse. Then we carefully refloat the grounded vessel or wrecked vessel and coordinate safe transport to a secure location. No guesswork, no shortcuts.
• Underwater operations — Our certified divers handle the jobs you can't do from the surface. Hull inspections, patching, and rigging in low-visibility Puget Sound conditions are all part of our salvage process. They go in, figure out what's happening, and get it done.
• Environmental containment and mitigation — The moment we arrive on scene, we deploy containment booms and start managing hazardous materials before they spread. Protecting local waterways is built into how we work, not an afterthought. We handle the types of salvage situations we handle every day with that same standard, and we can help coordinate with your insurer on insurance coverage for salvage claims.

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 done them anyway. 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. Whether it's a complex recovery in Seattle's busy waterways or a situation most operations walk away from, we finish what we start. 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. Our salvage process is built around speed because every hour of delay means more damage, more risk, and harder recovery work.
• Asset protection and environmental responsibility — Our twofold mission is saving the vessel's value by stopping further damage fast, and protecting Seattle's waterways with immediate environmental containment. The types of salvage situations we handle range from partial flooding to full recovery, and we treat every one like something worth saving.
• Direct insurance support — We know how much paperwork stacks up after an incident. That's why we provide clear, professional documentation to streamline your insurance claim. Insurance coverage for salvage can be complicated, and we cut through it for you, reducing the back-and-forth so you can focus on what's next.
