Search & Recovery
Losing valuable items over the side of a boat or off the edge of a dock can be incredibly frustrating. Whether it’s a smartphone packed with irreplaceable data, a set of keys, expensive jewelry, an anchor, or specialized marine tools, our Search & Recovery service offers a high-tech, highly efficient way to find them. Designed for boaters, property owners, fishermen, and commercial operators, our underwater ROVs act as our eyes on the water floor, allowing us to scan deep or hazardous areas where human diving would be too dangerous or prohibitively expensive.
Our process begins with careful site assessment and search grid planning based on where the item went missing. Once deployed, the ROV streams live high-definition video back to the surface, allowing us to search the bottom systematically. The drone’s precise positioning allows us to mark exact GPS coordinates when targets are located. If the item is accessible and conditions allow, we utilize the ROV’s capabilities to assist directly in the recovery attempt.
At the conclusion of the operation, you receive a search summary report along with the recorded HD video and photo logs of the underwater grid. While a recovery can never be 100% guaranteed due to factors like deep silt or heavy currents, acting quickly and utilizing advanced drone tracking drastically increases the likelihood of successfully finding your lost property.
Pricing:
- Our Mobilization Fee starts at $150 (covering travel and equipment setup),
- Search Operations billed at $150 per hour (with a 2-hour minimum). Emergency
- After-hours response ranges from $200–$250 per hour.
When to Call:
Contact us as soon as an item is lost. Many items are highly recoverable if the search grid is deployed before shifting currents, tides, or sediment have a chance to bury or move the object.
Fees cover the search operation and documentation processing; recovery success depends heavily on bottom composition, depth, and the accuracy of the reported loss location.
