Hull Surveys at Stoke Boats

A hull survey may be needed for insurance, a pre-purchase check, or simply peace of mind.

Our hull only surveys are carried out to YDSA standards, giving you a clear understanding of your boat’s condition below the waterline.

Prices start from £350 for boats up to 45ft, then £7.50 per foot.

Pull out and relaunch is £450, including a hot pressure wash to make the hull easier to inspect.
