South East Boat Breaking in Kent
South East Boat Breaking in Kent
The Boatbreakers team were in the South East to collect an old motor boat from a farm in Faversham. In the south east boat breaking seems to be an important practice as there are so many boats that are at the end of life. This boat we believe had been stored on the farm but the owner had died. The boat had then sat there for a number of years until the land owners decided to have her removed.
The boat was on an old trailer surrounded by trees and bushes. But thankfully the owner of the land had use of a tractor to get her into a more accessible location. From the first pictures we had been sent it looked a tricky collection. As the trailer definitely wasn’t road worthy. Plus any time you have to dig a boat out of a bush or tree it’s time consuming. Our team did have the cutting gear ready just incase we needed to bring out the big guns.
Boat Disposal Yard
Our plan was to turn up and hopefully pull the boat off of her trailer onto our own. Thankfully this was exactly how the plan came together. It took some elbow grease and tactical winching. But we had her safely loaded on our road safe trailer. We then returned the boat to one of our south east boat breaking yards for disposal. As was expected with such an old boat there wasn’t anything of any real value to have removed from the boat.
If you have an old boat that has been sat feeling sorry for itself then get in contact. Just fill in the Scrap Calculator and our team will work out the best price to have the boat removed.

Without Luke we would be lost, he runs the office, keeps us organised and is like a terrier and never lets a tricky boat disposal job go un-photographed or Tweeted about.
He also manages all of our enquiries passing them to whoever in the team is the best suited to deal with it. We are teaching Luke how to drive a motorboat or sail a yacht so while he’s learning we suggest you keep out of the Solent!
