From Garden Ornament to Engine Parts: Boatbreakers’ Pagham Jet Ski Clearance

Jet Ski Clearance

The Boatbreakers team headed down to the coastal village of Pagham, West Sussex. For a mission that was less about the sea and more about reclaiming garden space. The target: an old, forgotten jet ski that had sat dormant for years, now a permanent fixture in the owner’s backyard.

The owner was simply looking to clear out the ski and recover his garden for better use. Despite the years of disuse and weathering, the main challenge was the transport. The jet ski sat on a tired old trailer that looked like it had seen better centuries.

With careful manoeuvring and a prayer or two, the team managed to coax the jet ski onto the trailer. It truly had “just enough life” left in its wheels and chassis to be deemed safe for the short journey back to Boatbreakers’ facility in Portsmouth.

Useful Spare Parts

While the hull and mechanics were well beyond any practical restoration. The engine itself was a surprising silver lining. It was carefully removed and salvaged, destined to be broken down for useful spare parts. This successful recovery not only gave the Pagham homeowner his garden back but also secured valuable components for future projects, proving that even the most derelict watercraft can still offer a final, useful contribution.
