Before you commit, get an independent assessment of your next boat—and the evidence to buy at the asking price, negotiate a reduced price, budget for repairs or decide to walk away.

Know its true condition before you commit.

Booking Questions

Your Lough Derg survey.
Questions answered.

Useful details for planning your survey, access and next steps.

Which locations do our Portumna and Lough Derg surveyors cover?

Shannon Maritime covers Portumna, Ballyshrule, Terryglass, Coolbawn, Dromineer, Garrykennedy, Castlelough, Dromaan, Mountshannon, Scarriff, Killaloe and Ballina. Choose your local berth and book a date that suits you. For boats elsewhere, book through the main site.

Can I book at a Portumna marina or harbour?

Yes. Choose the public harbour, Portumna Marine or Le Boat under Portumna. Ballyshrule also includes Cloondavaun Bay Marina. Add your berth and use the calendar to select your survey day.

Do you cover Dromineer and Coolbawn?

Yes. Dromineer’s public harbour and Lough Derg Yacht Club are listed, along with Coolbawn Quay marina under Coolbawn. Select your venue and add the boat’s berth.

Can you come to Mountshannon, Scarriff or Garrykennedy?

Yes, all three are local area choices. Choose yours, add your boat’s location and enter the Eircode for the access point. Surveyor travel is included in the fee.

How do I book at Killaloe or Ballina?

Choose Killaloe or Ballina in the dropdown. Killaloe includes the public harbour and Lough Derg Marina. Get your price from the calculator and pick an available date for your boat.

Can a Lough Derg survey help me decide on a purchase?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey gives you findings and recommendations to discuss with the seller and consider alongside the asking price. Share any questions from your viewing when you book.

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.
