The Most Common Reasons That Boats Sink In The Gold Coast

• Hull Failures and Leaks: Corrosion, age or damage can lead to slow leaks in the hull that worsen over time.

• Weather and Storm Damage: Sudden storms and rough waters can capsize boats and vessels.

• Bilge Pump Failure: Overworked or failing bilge pumps can quickly lead to flooding, especially if the leak goes undetected.

• Running Aground: Sandbanks and shallow waters, especially around the Gold Coast canals, can easily catch skippers off guard.

• Fires and Explosions: Fuel leaks and electrical faults can cause devastating fires, putting you and your crew at risk

Whatever the cause, our Gold Coast marine and boat salvage team can assess your situation, stabilise your vessel and recover it safely.

Refloating Grounded Boats and Vessels

Has your boat run aground? While embarrassing, running around is quite common for avid boaters and commercial vessels. A grounded boat is under extreme stress and risks of hull damage, leading to a range of expensive repairs.
