Misleading satnav? Didn't read: "Now take the ferry..."?4X4s are all terrain vehicles - until you find they aren't then they're self anchoring.
I'd like to know how it got there. Did the owner drive into the harbour? If so we need the equivalent of the Darwin Awards for spectacular stupidity leading to the removal of the vehicle from our roads

Maybe time to swap to a hovercraft? But perhaps they're not so good at towing...Having said that, drive into soft mud and almost anything will get stuck.
More to the point, how much scope?I wonder what anchor they use?
Looking for salvage?Why were the coasties involved? No life at risk and no danger to navigation = not their concern. The risk of pollution makes it the harbourmaster's business perhaps.
Using it as a training exercise on an otherwise slow day, would be my guessWhy were the coasties involved? No life at risk and no danger to navigation = not their concern. The risk of pollution makes it the harbourmaster's business perhaps.
that little house caught my eye...I have being toying with the idea of one of them moored up a river in West Cork...I wonder who lives in that floating house at the top of the picture.
May have parked in the driveway .

I think it's a Lithuanian (or Estonian, or Latvian) floating summer house. They were on sale through eBay for a while.I wonder who lives in that floating house at the top of the picture.

Doesn't seem to have a trailer attached, unless removed before pictures taken, so I have to wonder what it was doing there.
Most 4x4 vehicles are seriously limited by their tyre choice. Low profile road tyres on a 4x4 makes it little better than a 2wd saloon in these situations. 4wd is part of the equation, but proper off road tyres provide the majority of the vehicles off road capabilities.
