Welcome to the Breaking Boats Blog

Every scrap boat has a story, even when it reaches the end of the line. Welcome to the official blog of Boatbreakers, where we document the final voyages of the vessels (and their backstories) when they come through our Boat Scrapyard.

This blog offers a behind-the-scenes look at the reality of boat disposal and marine recycling in the UK. From recovering abandoned projects rotting in garden driveways to dealing with insurance write-offs and storm-damaged yachts, we tackle the jobs that keep our waterways and properties clear.

We also highlight the logistics of complex recoveries and the importance of environmental responsibility. We also showcase the “diamonds in the rough” the salvaged engines, masts, and vintage hardware that we rescue and recirculate to keep other boats afloat. Dive in to see our latest projects, unique finds, and the honest side of the marine industry.
