Which locations do our Galway surveyors cover?

Shannon Maritime covers Galway city and Oranmore on Galway Bay, Clifden on the Connemara coast, and Oughterard on Lough Corrib. Pick your local area or venue to arrange your visit. For boats elsewhere, book through the main site.

Can I book a boat survey on Lough Corrib?

Yes. Choose Oughterard, then Oughterard pier or Lough Corrib. Add your berth or meeting point and use the calendar to find an available day for the survey.

Can you attend at Port of Galway marina?

Yes. Select Galway city and Port of Galway marina, then add your berth. The calculator gives your survey fee, with travel included, before you choose a date.

How do I book a motorboat on a Clifden mooring?

Choose Clifden Boat Club moorings, add your shore meeting point and describe the arranged access. Select a date that suits you and the person meeting your surveyor.

Do you cover boats at Oranmore?

Yes. Galway Bay Sailing Club is the listed Oranmore venue. Choose it when booking and add your boat’s berth; Other / not listed also lets you enter a local location.

Can I get a price before booking my Galway survey?

Yes. Enter your boat’s length in the calculator to see the fee, then choose your date. No deposit is required; payment is due when the survey is completed.

Does my boat need to be lifted out before the survey?

If your survey needs the hull inspected out of the water, the owner is responsible for booking the haul-out with the marina or boatyard. Please arrange and confirm the lift-out before booking your survey date, so the boat is ready when your surveyor arrives. An unconfirmed haul-out can limit what can be inspected and what your survey report can cover.
