FAQ
Questions owners ask before a recovery call
What should I do first when my boat is sinking?
Call or text immediately, keep people away from unsafe dock edges and electrical sources, and take photos only if it is safe. A faster response can reduce hull, engine, electrical, and interior damage.
Can a partially sunk boat be saved?
Often, yes. The outcome depends on how long it has been submerged, water type, engine exposure, hull damage, and how quickly dewatering and preservation steps begin.
Do you handle insurance documentation?
We can provide recovery photos, service notes, and condition documentation that helps the owner communicate clearly with the insurance company.
Need recovery now?
Send the boat location, photos, and what happened.
Texting photos of the hull, water level, dock, registration number, and surrounding access helps triage the right response faster.
