Before you hire a salvor to salvage your boat you want to check two things. First, see if your "salvage" is already paid under your agreement with them. If it isn't, ask to see their salvage rates.

Here are the rates shown on a recent salvage bill:

Senior Salvage Master $650 per hour
Supervising Salvage Master $600 per hour
25 foot Zodiac $3,600 for 8 hours

This salvor even charge $10 per hour to carry their cell phones with them.
