Boat Graveyard in Bermuda
Our team found this video of abandoned boats in a Bermudan Boat Graveyard on Youtube. Whilst the video is a fairly short one it shows a worrying image of how many boat yards will end up looking if boats are left abandoned by their owners.
These abandoned boats were left this way after the hurricanes in the area. It seems that it was a regular occurrence for the boat owners to drop off of the radar once the boat was a write off to avoid the costly disposal fees.

Luke completed a journalism degree in Brighton University and fortunately for us uses this in his communications, Facebook posts, Tweets and emails to tell all our enquirers and followers what we are up to. Without Luke we would be lost, he runs the office, keeps us organised and is like a terrier and never lets a tricky boat disposal job go un-photographed or Tweeted about.
He also manages all of our enquiries passing them to whoever in the team is the best suited to deal with it. We are teaching Luke how to drive a motorboat or sail a yacht so while he’s learning we suggest you keep out of the Solent!
When he’s not at work he’s a massive football fan (his Dad used to play for Portsmouth FC years ago) and seems to know everything there is to know about any player, anywhere. Next time you ring and he answers, think of a tricky football trivia question and ask him
