Scrap a Boat

This job for a local sailing club in Havant presented a unique challenge involving a modern casualty: a Whaly boat.

The Boat breaking team were asked by Shamrock Quay Marina (in Southampton) to remove and abandoned boat from the yard.

The sight of the Achilles 24 being collected was a perfect illustration of an owner determined to maximise every last penny from his yacht.

Boatbreakers were in Marchwood to collect and dispose of a Flush Poker 27. The marine and boat recycling journey for this boat went full circle.
