Boat Disposal
The same vessel that brought so many good times is now a burden. Whether dry docked, in a slip, or on the ground, we sill dispose of your vessel.
If you are an insurance company looking to dispose of a boat that has been totaled, S&J Marine Services is equipped with hydraulic trailers to get the job done.
