Boat Owner Guide

What’s included in a professional underwater inspection?

Short answer: A complete underwater inspection documents the hull, running gear, anodes, and through-hulls on video, delivered with a written condition report. Owners use it for pre-purchase surveys, insurance, or simple peace of mind about what’s happening below the waterline.

Most of your boat lives where you can’t see it. An underwater inspection brings that hidden half into clear view — on camera, with an honest assessment — so you can make decisions based on facts instead of guesses.

What the inspection covers

  • The hull, documented for growth, paint condition, and anything that warrants a closer look.
  • The running gear — props, shafts, struts, and rudders — checked for fouling and condition.
  • The anodes, assessed for how much protection is left.
  • Through-hulls and intakes, confirmed clear and sound.

What you receive

You don’t just get a verbal ‘looks fine.’ You get recorded video of the inspection and a written condition report describing what was found, in plain language. That documentation is yours to keep, share with a surveyor or insurer, or file as a baseline for the future.

When owners request one

An inspection earns its keep at decision points: before buying a boat, when an insurer wants current condition documented, after a grounding or hard contact, or simply when you want confidence that everything below is as it should be. Because it’s done in the water, you get answers without the cost and downtime of a haul-out.
