The latest job for our team at Boatbreakers was an on site yacht mould disposal in Marchwood. We got the call from the owners of the mould and we arranged a site visit to gauge whether we could transport the mould to our yard or if we'd have to chop the mould on site.

Do you have a boat project that needs that elusive part that no one seems to have? Have you been trawling the internet but still having no joy. At Boatbreakers we are always getting different makes and models of boats into the yard.

Boatbreakers may soon have a perfect project boat available for any lovers of the Moody 336 model. We were recently contacted by a family who now need to shift a Moody 336 which is in project condition.

Every day through Boatbreakers and BuyAnyBoat.net we are offered new boats to consider. Some boats are nice enough to buy and sell on whilst others are clearly ready to be chopped up.

It's been a busy few months for Boatbreakers. Apart from getting boats back to our yard from all over the country we've also recently set up our new office in Portsmouth. Our team recently had the chance of a meeting with our local MP Caroline Dineage in Gosport. We met to discuss what we see is the growing problem of end of life boats and how we aim to try and help.

It's been a little while coming but the Boatbreakers team are finally on Instagram. We will try to post lots of pictures of all the interesting things that come through our scrapyard in Portsmouth as well as all the remote places we have to get boats out of.

It's been a busy couple of weeks at our yard in Portsmouth with a number of new arrivals joining our queue of boats waiting to be chopped up and recycled.

Some yachts when it is time to scrap seem to put up quite a fight. These are usually made from fibreglass and it can take our skilled team of Boat breakers all day to safely chop up the boat.

It's always a shame to see boats that are left abandoned and therefore destined for the chop. With most boats that we dispose of at Boatbreakers it's usually a case of they were used extensively once but over the last few years the costs and effort needed to keep these boats going has been too much for the owners.

Harbours across the UK and Europe are inundated with abandoned yachts, according to new research. The European Union Boat Digest Project estimates that at least 6,600 and possibly as many as 23,600 boats are abandoned every year.

There's never a dull day in Boat Breaking. We remove boats from all sorts of locations from driveways to riverbeds, so when we were asked to scrap a boat that is still in the water in Portsmouth Harbour we were happy to help.

Call (02392 984666), Email, Text, or Tweet @Boatbreakers. We are based in the UK and can have your unwanted vessel removed once and for all. One call to us and we do the rest. We even have a Scrap Calculator to give you some idea of what the cost of disposal might be.
