Why it matters

• Insurers often require a current survey before issuing or renewing a policy.

• A professional risk inspection can reduce delays in cover and strengthen your application.

• Beyond insurance, risk surveys highlight issues that affect safety, compliance, and long-term maintenance.

• Independent reports carry weight with insurers, brokers, and finance providers.

What’s included in our Insurance Inspection & Report

• Structural integrity - hull, decks, fittings, and critical systems

• Mechanical & propulsion - engines, gearboxes, shafts, propellers

• Electrical & electronic systems - navigation, communications, safety wiring

• Safety equipment - liferafts, EPIRBs, flares, extinguishers, compliance checks

• General condition - wear and tear, maintenance needs, damage assessments

• Risk profile & recommendations - clear action points to satisfy insurers and improve safety

Best time to book your inspections

• Aside from purchase, insurers require a new report every 5 years. We recommend arranging your insurance inspection to coincide with a routine antifoul slipping. This saves time, reduces costs, and allows for a more detailed out-of-water inspection. Peak Marine can also recommend trusted local shipyards and contractors to streamline the process.
