Boat Hull Inspections

When it comes to maintaining a vessel, what goes on below the waterline is often a case of “out of sight, out of mind” until it becomes an expensive or dangerous problem. Our Boat Hull Inspection service is specifically built for boat owners, marina operators, vessel buyers, and marine professionals who need a crystal-clear understanding of a vessel’s underwater condition without the massive expense, hassle, and downtime of hauling the boat out of the water. Whether you suspect you hit something, notice a drop in fuel efficiency, or are evaluating a used boat before purchase, we bring the answers to you while your vessel stays securely in its slip.

Using our advanced Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) technology, we conduct a comprehensive, non-destructive visual sweep of your hull and running gear. As our drone navigates beneath the vessel, its high-definition cameras capture real-time, high-resolution footage of critical areas that are normally impossible to see. We systematically look for hull damage caused by impacts or groundings, check for blisters, cracks, and gouges, and closely evaluate your propellers, shafts, rudders, and trim tabs for signs of wear, misalignment, or deterioration. We also check for metal corrosion, missing sacrificial anodes, and the buildup of excessive marine growth or barnacles that can severely drag down your performance. If there is fishing line or rope entangled in your running gear, our cameras will spot it immediately.

Once the inspection is complete, you won’t be left guessing. We provide you with a professional documentation package that includes the full high-definition underwater video footage, clear digital photographs of key areas, and a written summary report detailing our observations and maintenance recommendations. This package gives you the objective visual evidence you need to coordinate with repair yards, file insurance claims, or negotiate a vessel purchase with complete confidence.

Custom quotes are available for commercial vessels and marina fleets.

When to Call:

Schedule this service after an impact or grounding, if you notice unusual hull vibrations or steering issues, before buying or selling a boat, following a major storm, or simply as part of your routine preventative maintenance.

Please Note: This is a visual inspection and does not replace a certified marine survey when required for vessel valuation, financing, or regulatory purposes. Results may vary based on water clarity and environmental conditions.
