Boat Insurance Condition Reports & Surveys
Professional Boat Condition Reports for Insurance Purposes
Need a boat condition report or boat insurance survey for your vessel?
SeaWorthy Inspections provides professional boat inspections and insurance condition reports designed to give boat owners and insurers a clear assessment of a vessel’s current condition.
Many insurers require a current condition report before providing or renewing cover for older vessels. As a general guide, trailer boats over 20 years old and marina or moored vessels over 15 years old may require an inspection and condition report to obtain insurance.
Insurance requirements vary between insurers and individual policies, so you should always confirm the specific requirements with your insurance provider.
In some cases, your insurer may also request an updated boat insurance condition report every three years to maintain ongoing cover.
Whether you’re arranging a new insurance policy, renewing your existing cover or your insurer has requested an inspection, our experienced marine inspectors can provide a comprehensive boat insurance condition report covering key areas of your vessel.
Our inspections assess the condition and operation of important boat, engine, electrical and safety systems, helping identify defects or issues that may require attention.
