Welcome to the Breaking Boats Blog

Collecting end-of-life boats from remote locations often demands ingenuity and resilience, as shown by our recent retrieval from Bideford.

Our team doesn't just collect boats from boatyards and marinas. Frequently, we find ourselves removing vessels from private driveways and gardens.

For almost 20 years Boatbreakers have been at the forefront of dealing with the problem of old boats.

It's always a real shame to be scrapping an old wooden boat as it feels like losing a piece of boating history.

Not every boat that the team are tasked to remove are in a boat yard or marina.

Our Boat Recycling team were tasked with removing an old Dockrell 22 Yacht from Calshot Activity Centre.

Nothing runs smoother than a local collection for us from a Gosport mooring. We will usually have the boat towed in by our local yard, mast down and lifted out onto our transport.

Boatbreakers were asked to collect a dispose of a Dawncraft 25 that had sunk in Northampton.

The Boat disposal team were asked to collect a scrap a Hurley 24/70 which was moored in Southsea Marina.

Not every boat that we scrap is in a boat yard. More often they are in people's gardens, garages or driveways.

The Boat disposal team had a local yacht to sort and this time it was a Tomahawk 25. The boat itself wasn't too bad as scrap boats go but it was more her location and circumstances that meant she ended up being scrapped.

We often get asked what is the most environmentally sustainable boat you can buy. In terms of which material the hull needs to be we would always say an aluminium boat.
