And from your comment, it seems like you could end up hurting yourself trying to do something not in your wheelhouse. Its not worth it.
I have a very healthy respect for chainsaws...not afraid of them but I know what they can do. Only about 6 foot of the tree (and root ball) are actually on land while the top is hanging over/on a neighbors tree that fell from the other side of the canal (it fell first).
I should have posted these first but some pics:
Both trees missed the boat lift by 1-2 feet.

When you get ready to hire someone, I'd give whoever builds bulkheads in your area a call.
They'll have a barge to work from, an excavator to lift the trees, and more than likely be used to cutting trees.
Hopefully, you have neighbors that are willing to reach for their wallets too.
Good luck.

Just cut enough to get your boat in and out. If someone wants to cut more let them do it.

Yours should be easy. Cut the top off in ten foot sections working your way towards the trunk and use a truck or tractor to pull the logs out. Stack and burn them for next Fourth of July.
Keep the chainsaw tied off to the boat or attach a crab trap float to it.
