South Florida is one of the world's densest concentrations of high-value yachts, sportfishers, and commercial vessels — all exposed to the harshest UV and salt environment on the East Coast. Get a complete topside condition report without leaving the slip.
Buyers routinely pay for full marine surveys on vessels above 30'. A topside drone pre-check can reveal visible issues before the haul-out — potentially saving thousands in survey fees on a non-starter.
Marine insurers increasingly require condition surveys at renewal. A drone survey provides GPS-timestamped visual evidence of topside condition — faster and cheaper than a yard haul.
