What is a derelict vessel?

In Florida, derelict vessels can include boats that are wrecked, junked, substantially dismantled, sunken, sinking or stranded without the ability to be removed without assistance. These vessels can become more than an eyesore. They may obstruct navigation, threaten marine habitats, create environmental concerns and pose risks to public safety and surrounding property.

Removing abandoned and deteriorating vessels helps keep Florida waterways safe and protects the marine environment. Maverick Marine Services has the equipment and experience to recover and remove vessels in a wide range of conditions, including difficult locations and projects requiring demolition or specialized equipment.
