When a boat goes to the bottom, the first questions are where it is and how to bring it back without making things worse. Top To Bottom Inc handles Bellingham sunken vessel recovery with our own on-staff divers, who find the vessel, assess it underwater, and retrieve it safely. A boat resting on the bottom is more than a loss to its owner. It can settle in a channel, near a fairway, or close to other moorage, where it becomes a safety hazard until it is removed. We help boat owners and the wider boating community get sunken boats out of the water and out of the way.

Every recovery is different, and the right approach depends on the depth, the location, and the condition of the vessel. Our sunken vessel recovery work includes:

• Locating vessels that have gone under in the bay or at moorage
• Retrieving sunken pleasure boats, fishing vessel, and other craft from the bottom
• Clearing boats that have become navigation hazards for other vessels
• Recovering boats from shallow waters near docks and shorelines
• Towing recovered vessels to Colony Wharf or to a boat ramp

Working out of Bellingham Bay for more than forty years, we know these harbors, tides, and the shallow waters where boats often end up. That local knowledge helps us reach a sunken vessel, plan the retrieval, and bring it up with care.
