Independent inspections to help you buy, insure and own your vessel with confidence.

Purchasing or owning a recreational vessel is a significant investment. Whether you're buying your first boat, renewing your insurance or simply wanting peace of mind, a professional marine survey provides an independent assessment of the vessel's condition, helping you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected repair costs.

Midwest Marine Group provides comprehensive recreational vessel surveys for powerboats, sailing yachts, trailer boats, cruisers, aluminium vessels, steel vessels and commercial vessels transitioning to private ownership.

Our surveys assess the structural integrity, machinery, electrical systems, steering, safety equipment and overall condition of the vessel. Where appropriate, we also conduct sea trials to evaluate engine performance, handling characteristics and the operation of onboard systems under normal operating conditions.

Using industry-standard inspection equipment, including ultrasonic thickness gauges and non-destructive testing methods, we can identify corrosion, structural deterioration, cracking and other defects that may not be visible during a routine visual inspection.

Following every inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing the vessel's condition, any identified defects and practical recommendations for repair or maintenance. Our reports are recognised by major marine insurers and provide valuable information for insurance applications, purchase negotiations and ongoing vessel maintenance.
