Abandoned Yacht in Bush Collection Video
The Boatbreakers team had an interesting collection recently. We were tasked with collecting an abandoned boat from a bush in Swanick. Luckily on the day the bushes had been chopped back to give us half a chance. As you can see from the video we sent in our Hiab to lift the boat out of the bushes and load her ready for transport.

Luke completed a journalism degree in Brighton University and fortunately for us uses this in his communications, Facebook posts, Tweets and emails to tell all our enquirers and followers what we are up to. 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!
When he’s not at work he’s a massive football fan (his Dad used to play for Portsmouth FC years ago) and seems to know everything there is to know about any player, anywhere. Next time you ring and he answers, think of a tricky football trivia question and ask him
