In the marine world, a vessel is often declared a CTL when the cost of recovery and repair exceeds its insured value (or a specific percentage of it).

When repair is no longer an option, the vessel becomes a liability. Boatbreakers® turns that liability into a managed exit, ensuring the hull is stripped of reusable parts and the remaining materials are processed correctly. Removing a potentially dangerous boat from the waterways that could cause harm to other owners.

Request a Professional Quote

We make the process straightforward. To provide an accurate quote for your insurer or your client, we typically need:

  • Photos of the vessel in its current state.

  • Location
    Marina, Hardstanding, Garden, or even underwater.

  • Vessel Dimensions
    Length, beam, and weight.
