Our New Work Boat!
The Boatbreakers team have made an exciting addition to the team this week with the arrival of our new work boat “Solent Spray”. She is a Mitchell 22 Sea Angler in perfect condition.
The Mitchell is a tough little work boat that will be used to tow plenty of boats around in Portsmouth Harbour and beyond. There’s also a good chance the guys at the yard will use her as a little fishing boat. We have had similar boats in the past and every time our boss has sold them he regrets it, so it’ll be interesting to see how long it lasts.
We’re sure there’ll be plenty of pictures and videos being taken on the boat when we start to put her to work so stay tuned.

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
