Emergency & Inspection
Boat safety checks, pre-purchase surveys, and emergency repair — the peace-of-mind services that keep you safe on the water and confident before you buy.
// Overview
What we do
Some marine services are about avoiding a bad day rather than fixing one. A thorough safety check finds problems before they strand you, a pre-purchase survey protects you from buying someone else’s headache, and fast emergency repair gets you back when something does go wrong.
We bring the same methodical, honest approach to all three. You get a clear picture of your boat’s real condition and straightforward advice on what matters now versus what can wait.
It is the difference between hoping the boat is ready and knowing it is.

Safety Checks
Catch problems before the water does
A comprehensive safety and systems check finds the small failures — a weak bilge pump, a corroded connection, a fuel or steering issue — that turn into big problems offshore. We inspect the systems that keep you safe and give you a prioritized report.
- Bilge & safety-system check
- Fuel & electrical inspection
- Steering & control review
- Battery & charging test
- Corrosion & wear survey
- Prioritized findings report
Pre-Purchase Survey
Know before you buy
Before you buy a used boat, we give it an independent mechanical and systems evaluation so you understand its true condition and any upcoming costs. It is a small investment that can save you from an expensive mistake.
- Engine & drivetrain evaluation
- Electrical & systems review
- Fuel, cooling & steering checks
- Corrosion & hull-systems survey
- Sea-trial where possible
- Detailed written report
Emergency Repair
Back on the water, fast
When something fails, we prioritize getting you diagnosed and repaired quickly — dockside where possible. We stabilize the immediate problem, get you safe, and complete the repair as fast as parts and conditions allow.
- Priority response
- On-site triage & diagnosis
- Immediate stabilization
- Dockside repair when possible
- Parts sourcing
- Safe-to-run confirmation
