Stabilization, dewatering, and controlled lifting for partially submerged, grounded, or taking-on-water vessels.
ATS Boat Recovery can assist boats that are partially submerged, taking on water, grounded, resting in shallow water, or unstable after an accident or weather event. We assess the situation and apply the appropriate refloating method.
ATS Boat Recovery may provide photographs, estimates, invoices, vessel information, and available project documentation to help customers communicate with their insurance companies.
Many partially submerged, grounded, or taking-on-water vessels can be refloated, but feasibility depends on the vessel size, condition, water depth, and how the boat is positioned. An assessment helps determine the right refloating method.
ATS Boat Recovery uses controlled lifting and dewatering methods designed to minimize additional damage, but vessels that are already compromised may sustain further stress during recovery. We assess the condition before selecting an approach.
As soon as possible. The sooner a recovery team can assess and stabilize the vessel, the better the chances of a successful refloat and the lower the risk of further damage or sinking.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the situation, dewatering, lifting airbags, and controlled flotation methods can refloat a grounded vessel without heavy lifting equipment. An assessment determines the right approach.
Ensure everyone’s safety first, avoid putting yourself at risk near the vessel, and if possible, take photographs of the situation from a safe distance. Do not attempt to board or stabilize an unsafe vessel yourself.
Tell us where the vessel is located and what happened. We will review the information and contact you to discuss the available recovery options.
