Road Trip! Come with us to Scrap a Shetland in Suffolk! Boat Disposal Diary #1

Follow a day in the life for the Boatbreakers team. We set off from the south coast and headed North east to Ipswich. The boat was a small Shetland that was in a sorry state. After a number of botched repairs she almost sank and the owner decided it was time to go. What do you think about the repairs that were done?!
We made an effort to film exactly what goes on in a little boat collection as we winch it all up onto our flatbed trailer. Once the boat was empty of water and loaded we set off back home. We dropped the boat into one of our recycling centres on route and gave ourselves a clear trailer for returning to Portsmouth.

Breaking a Cornish Crabber? Heartbreaking. Well done on uncovering bungs in the boat industry💪

Not breaking a Cornish Crabber don't worry! We were asked to look at it as it had some early signs of osmosis. But it was far too nice to even consider breaking so we told the owner to sell her!

Are you going to do a video of smashing up this crap boat. That would be great fun!

Why would someone pay you to drive hundreds of miles just to dispose of a shit house ? No one in Ipswich ? Too much waste of time, fuel, and money.
