Raising A Sunken Yacht is No Easy Task!

Without a doubt, if your yacht goes down in its slip, you’re having a bad day. There’s no telling what kind of money stands to be lost in a situation like this and you can’t help but feel for the owners of the boat as tons of hard work has literally gone in the drink. However, in a situation like this, all that’s left to do is to get to moving and trying to get the boat back out of the water again, which, as you might just be able to imagine, can be quite the daunting task. With all of the pressure from the water pushing down on the top of the boat, it makes getting the heavy vessel even more of a trick to get back out again.

No matter how tough the road ahead might have been, it didn’t phase this boat recovery expert as he slapped on his diving suit, recruited a little bit of help, and got down to business in order to save the boat from the depths of the slip. With the help of 17,600 lbs of lift, we watch as several air bags are attached to the boat in order to bring it up to the surface and then, when it looks to be high enough, the guys then begin to pump, attempting to get the boat afloat again and make sure that no toxic chemicals are spilled into the water in the process.

Check out the video down below that shows you how the rescue mission goes when you’re trying to lift such a massive hunk of fiberglass to the surface of the water once again. Just when you thought that this one might prove to be about impossible, a confident team made their best effort and hauled it back to the surface once again.
