Before you commit, get an independent assessment of your next boat—and the evidence to buy at the asking price, negotiate a reduced price, budget for repairs or decide to walk away.

Know its true condition before you commit.

A few practical
questions answered.

Useful details for planning your survey, access and next steps.

What types of vessel do you survey?

We survey recreational craft, including coastal and inland motorboats, coastal and inland barges, and Shannon cruisers, across GRP, steel, aluminium, timber and composite construction. Surveys for commercial sailing yachts are planned for 2027.

Are haul-out and marina fees included?

Surveyor travel time and expenses are included. Haul-out, lift, wash, yard and marina fees are the client’s responsibility. Share the vessel’s access arrangements in your booking so we can agree what can be inspected.

Does the survey include a sea, river or lake trial?

Pre-purchase surveys: Yes—an operational trial at sea, on a river or on a lake is included.

Insurance & condition surveys: An operational trial is included at the owner’s or insurer’s request.

Damage & accident surveys: A trial can be included at the owner’s or insurer’s request where it is needed for the investigation and safe to undertake.

When is my chosen date confirmed?

Select your date and AM or PM attendance, complete your vessel and contact details, and read the booking terms. Then click Book Now — Pay on Completion. As soon as your booking is accepted, you’ll see confirmation on screen and receive your booking details by email.

Selecting a date alone does not reserve it. Wait for a booking reference on screen.

Can you review a boat using photographs?

Yes. Photographs can support an initial advisory review and help us prepare for your survey. We also provide photographic evidence as part of our inspection reports, taking account of any insurer requirements you share in advance. A physical inspection is currently required for a condition survey; a photo review does not replace it.

Will my insurer accept the report?

Shannon Maritime combines an MSc in Maritime Surveying with practical marine engineering experience to produce clear, professionally presented reports for insurers’ review. Share your insurer’s requirements before arranging the inspection so the scope and report can address them. Acceptance and coverage decisions remain with your insurer.
