Boat Removal, Dismantling and Disposal in Petoskey, Michigan

If a boat is sunk, stranded, or abandoned in Petoskey, you need it recovered, dismantled, and disposed of by a crew that knows the water. Most local boats live on Little Traverse Bay, and a hull left sitting there can leak fuel, break loose in a storm, or become a hazard for everyone else.

Waiting rarely makes it cheaper. A boat sitting at a slip at Petoskey Municipal Marina or beside the Bear River can shift, take on more water, and get harder to lift with each storm. Inland, owners on Walloon Lake deal with the same problem from a dock, a lift, or a shoreline.

We remove sailboats, motorboats, pontoon boats, yachts, jet skis, houseboats, cabin cruisers, and fishing boats up to 60 feet, on land or in the water, whole or partly submerged. We handle recovery, dismantling, and disposal, and you get proof of disposal when it's done.

Common Boat Removal Situations in Petoskey, MI

A boat goes down at its slip or mooring after heavy rain, a failed bilge pump, or a hard fall freeze. Around Little Traverse Bay the crew has to work around neighboring boats and docks, so the lift and tow get planned before anything moves.

Boats also get left behind. An owner stops paying for a slip, or a hull sits in a driveway or yard near Bayfront Park Boat Launch until it rots and leaks. We remove it from land or water and dismantle it on site when the access calls for it.

Inland waters bring their own problems. A pontoon or cabin cruiser can sink or ground along the Crooked River or the Inland Waterway, where channels are narrow and shore access is limited. We figure out the safest way in by land or water.

How Our Process Works

1 Request an Estimate

Send photos or details about your boat and where it sits. We respond the same day and give you a free online estimate with no obligation.

Sunken Boat Removal
2 Site Evaluation

We check how the boat can be reached by land or water. A marina slip on the bay needs a different plan than a shoreline on Walloon Lake.

Abandoned Boat Removal
3 Safe Removal

The crew uses marine equipment to lift and tow the boat, whether it's afloat, partly submerged, or sunk. Working around Little Traverse Bay docks means planning the route first.

Stranded Boat Removal
4 Disposal

We dismantle the boat and dispose of every part within regulations, recycling where possible. You receive proof of disposal with a release of liability.
