General Questions

  • Where are Boat Scrapyard Located?

    We are located in Gosport. Most items we have listed will be in Gosport. But there may be more in various locations around the UK and Ireland.

  • Do you scrap boats?

    No. However we work closely with Boatbreakers. Boatbreakers will scrap and dispose of boats of all makes and models across the UK, Ireland and most of Europe. If you have an end of life boat that you need to get rid of then get in contact and the Boatbreakers team will be happy to help.

  • Can I visit your warehouse?

    We do not have a central location where people can come and browse our stock. The address shown on the website is a postal address only.

    If you would like to arrange to view a particular item before you buy, please use the “Request Additional Info” form located on the products page to e-mail us and arrange a time to view.

  • Can I request a specific item?

    Yes. We prefer for people to complete our “Request a Part” form if you’re looking for a certain part. That way we will save you a wasted journey. Also this means that if we don’t have the part in we can look out for it on all the future boats that come in. You can also join our Facebook Group and request the part there.

  • Are all the items you sell second-hand?

    Yes. We don’t buy any new stock in to sell, it’s all from the boats we have through our yard. However some of the items we sell are technically brand new as many are still in their original packaging.
