What to do if you find a wrecked boat???

At VAP Marine, are highly experienced in the marine environment. We deeply care about the marine environment and are involved with the responsible removal and recycling/disposing of these environmental hazards in professional manner.

Some of these wrecks have been littering the beaches for years.

Commercial grade drones also assist our Advacned Certified crew with precision detection, tracking and reporting these wrecked boats and other navigational hazards to authorities.  We also assess, document and scale the project areas to be worked.

Our small support vessel and support team is ready to get to work and clean the beaches!

In addition to dilapidated wrecks, our team removes other environmental debris including foam and plastics, docks and so on.

After removing the abandoned boats, we also clean up the beach in the surrounding area of any ghost fishing gears, nets, boat line/gear, plastics, foam, rubber and so on.

Our goal is to restore the beach back to its 100% natural state while removing all environmental and navigational hazards.
