“How do I ‘get rid’ of an old boat?”
Call (02392 984666), Email, Text, or Tweet @Boatbreakers.
We are based in the UK and can have your unwanted vessel removed once and for all.
One call to us and we do the rest. We even have a Scrap Calculator to give you some idea of what the cost of disposal might be.
Our “scrap a boat” services include:
- Removal of damaged, sunken, unwanted and abandoned yachts, boats & ships
- Overseas vessel recovery.
- Boat removal from gardens, fields, car parks and shorelines.
- Hull breaking, recycling and clearance of waste.
- Ensuring safe disposal of oils, diesel, petrol and general hazardous marine waste.
- Finding legal owners of the boat.
- Insurance company approved.
Many people might think they can just donate their old end of life boats. However eventually they all have to go somewhere and with more and more boats flooding into the market the responsible thing to do is have the boat properly dismantled.
If you have a boat that you need to get rid of, just fill in our Scrap Calculator and we will send you a Free no-obligation quote of the costs involved.

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

Published On: June 3rd, 2016It's been a busy few months for Boatbreakers. Apart from getting boats back to our yard from all over the country we've also recently set up our new office in Portsmouth. Our team recently had the chance of a meeting with our local MP Caroline Dineage in Gosport. We met to discuss what we see is the growing problem of end of life boats and how we aim to try and help.
Published On: January 24th, 2017A common question we get asked it why we have to charge you the customer to scrap your boat. First of all, there are times where we can take boats on free of charge if they have recoverable items we can recover our costs from. But back to the question, the answer is simply that there are costs that we can't avoid, and neither could you if you followed the same process we do.
