Boat removal in Rhode Island: what we do

We're a local boat removal company serving Providence, RI and communities across Newport County. Rhode Island's coastline, marinas, and waterfront locations keep us busy year-round pulling everything from an abandoned boat rotting at a dock to a sunken vessel that's been sitting on the bottom since last winter. Our boat removal and disposal service covers residential and commercial clients throughout the state, and we handle any size vessel safely, whether that's a small sailboat, a yacht, or something that needs full dismantling and disposal before it goes anywhere.

We know Rhode Island waters, and we do this work the right way. Safe and responsible removal is the standard here, not an upsell. If you need a boat removed from water or land, we've got it handled.

Vessel types we handle with our boat removal service

We handle every type of boat removal in Rhode Island, from sunken wrecks to abandoned hulls sitting in marinas and along the shoreline.

  • Sunken boat removal — Foundering or sunken boat removal means working with submerged vessels in tight, murky conditions. Our crew gets down to the vessel, assesses structural integrity, and recovers it safely. We then dismantle what can't be towed whole and handle dismantling and disposal in a way that's safe and responsible for Rhode Island waterways.
  • Sailboat removal — Onshore or grounded sailboat boat removal takes more coordination than most people expect. Our crews dismantle masts and strip rigging before the vessel can move. Grounded sailboat boat removal from a dry-docked vessel or beached position calls for careful rigging and eco-conscious disposal of all materials.
  • Boat disposal services — Owners often discover that old boat disposal is anything but simple. Old junk fiberglass hulls can't just go to the curb. We get the vessel crushed or dismantled, recycling parts wherever we can, and handle disposal through licensed facilities so nothing ends up in the water.
  • Boat salvage — Salvage and disposal of a damaged or abandoned vessel often starts with a tow from a difficult marina slip or remote cove. We assess whether the boat is worth recovering intact or needs to come apart on-site, then move it out cleanly so the waterfront is clear.
