Underwater Inspections Across Vancouver Island
An underwater inspection lets you see what's happening below the waterline without the cost and hassle of hauling out. For boats kept in Victoria, Sidney, or anywhere on Vancouver Island year-round, that means checking for hull blistering, through-hull corrosion, and running gear wear — problems that can go unnoticed for years until something fails.
We perform pre-purchase inspections for buyers at every marina from Sidney and Canoe Cove to Cowichan Bay and Nanaimo. If you're buying a used boat on Vancouver Island, an underwater visual inspection complements a marine survey by showing the actual condition of the hull, prop, shaft, rudder, and zinc anodes while the boat stays in the water.
Every inspection is recorded on video and delivered with a written observation report. We service marinas throughout Greater Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula, the Gulf Islands, and up-island communities. You see exactly what we see — no guessing, no surprises.

Underwater Inspections FAQ - Victoria BC
When should I get an underwater inspection in Victoria?
Annual inspections help catch problems early. Also consider inspections before purchasing a used boat, after grounding or collision incidents, if you notice unusual vibrations or performance issues, or to assess any suspected damage below the waterline.
What do you inspect during an underwater inspection?
We visually inspect the hull for damage or blistering, all through-hull fittings, propeller and shaft condition, rudder and steering components, zincs, trim tabs, transducers, and any other underwater components. Everything is recorded on video.
Can I use your inspection reports for insurance or surveys?
We provide detailed visual documentation and observation reports. We are not certified marine surveyors and do not provide insurance-approved surveys. For official survey requirements, contact a certified marine surveyor. Our inspections help you see your boat's underwater condition.
How long does an underwater inspection take?
Most inspections take 1-3 hours depending on vessel size. You'll receive your detailed observation report with video within 24-48 hours.
