A system for collecting an oil slick from the surface of a body of water, pumping the confined and concentrated oil to an oil/water seperator balloon partially submerged in the body of water, and subsequently transporting the seperated oil into a third storage barge for reuse or transport. The collection portion further includes at least a pair of floatable arm members for directing oil to an oil collection means. The oil collection means further includes a pump means for pumping the oil/water layer through a line to the partially submerged oil/water seperator means. The oil/water seperator poriton further includes a substantially inflated balloon having an upper oil/water space containing portion, and a lower oil receiving portion from the collector apparatus.
