A professional, equipment-based marine service provider built around practical removal planning, clear communication, and the right gear for difficult boat removal situations.
Ohio Boat Services is built around practical marine removal planning, clear communication, and the right equipment for difficult boat removal situations. We are not a national franchise, a marketplace, a broker, or a lead-generation service. We are a local marine contractor with trucks, trailers, workboats, and rigging gear — and we handle removals directly.
Every removal starts with understanding the boat, the access, and the condition. From there, we plan the equipment and the approach before we mobilize. That is what keeps jobs safe, predictable, and on schedule.
We have handled the full range — from simple yard removals to complex submerged vessel recovery.
We work directly with dockmasters, yard managers, and property owners to schedule around facility operations.
Every lift, tow, and haul is planned before equipment moves. Rigging is matched to the hull’s condition.
Our own trucks, trailers, workboats, cranes, and rigging gear — not subcontracted or improvised.
You talk to the operator handling your job. Clear answers, honest estimates, no runaround.
We know Ohio’s lakes, ramps, marinas, and storage yards — the access challenges that come with them.
Ohio’s freshwater lakes and marinas are where we work. That means we understand the local conditions — boat ramps, storage yard layouts, marina slip configurations, and the access challenges that come with inland waterways. We are not an ocean salvage operation. We are a local marine contractor built for Ohio’s boating environment.
We will not claim credentials we have not confirmed, invent years in business, or make exaggerated promises. What we will do is show up with the right equipment, plan the job properly, and communicate clearly from your first call to a clean, empty space when we leave.
