Know What's Below the Waterline
Thorough underwater inspections and surveys
Professional underwater inspections provide crucial information about your vessel's condition below the waterline. Whether you are buying a boat, need documentation for insurance, or want to assess maintenance needs, a thorough underwater survey gives you the facts you need to make informed decisions.
Types of Underwater Inspections We Provide
Pre-Purchase Surveys
Before buying a boat, know exactly what condition it is in below the waterline. Our detailed inspection helps you negotiate price and avoid expensive surprises.
Insurance Inspections
Documentation for insurance claims, policy requirements, or damage assessment. We provide detailed reports with photos and findings.
Maintenance Inspections
Regular condition assessments to identify problems early. Monitor zinc wear, detect leaks, and plan maintenance before issues become expensive.
Damage Assessments
After grounding, collision, or suspected damage, we inspect and document the extent of underwater damage for repairs and insurance purposes.
What We Inspect
- Hull condition, gelcoat, and bottom paint
- Blisters, delamination, and structural concerns
- Propellers, shafts, struts, and rudders
- Zincs and anodes
- Thru-hulls, transducers, and underwater fittings
- Trim tabs and control surfaces
- Running gear alignment and condition
- Previous repairs and modifications
Inspection Reports and Documentation
Every inspection includes a detailed written report describing our findings. We photograph all areas of concern and provide clear documentation suitable for insurance companies, surveyors, or personal records.
Photo Documentation
Clear underwater photos of all critical areas and any problems or concerns we identify.
Written Report
Detailed findings with descriptions, measurements, and recommendations for maintenance or repairs.
Pre-Purchase Inspection Benefits
Buying a boat is a major investment. A pre-purchase underwater inspection reveals problems that are not visible from above and may not be found during a standard marine survey. We have helped countless buyers avoid boats with hidden damage or negotiate better prices based on needed repairs.
Common issues we find include bottom blisters, damaged running gear, depleted zincs, poor previous repairs, and structural concerns. Knowing about these issues before purchase can save thousands of dollars.
