01 / BUYING

Pre-purchase
surveys

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 Shannon Estuary survey.
Questions answered.

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

Which locations do our Shannon Estuary surveyors cover?

Shannon Maritime covers Kilrush and Foynes on the Shannon Estuary, plus Fenit in Tralee Bay for North Kerry boats. Select your local venue and add the berth to book. For boats elsewhere, book through the main site.

Can I book a motorboat survey at Fenit?

Yes. Choose Fenit · Tralee Bay and select Fenit Marina or Tralee Bay Sailing Club. Fenit’s Tralee Bay setting is included alongside our Kilrush and Foynes coverage.

Which Kilrush venues can I choose?

Kilrush Marina and boatyard and Royal Western Yacht Club are listed. Just pick yours, add the berth or yard position and select your survey date on the calendar.

Can you survey my boat on a Foynes mooring?

Yes. Select Foynes Yacht Club pontoon and moorings, then add where to meet and how you have arranged access to the boat. The calculator shows your survey fee.

How do I include a tidal access window?

Add the arranged meeting window in the access notes when booking. That helps us plan attendance at your estuary berth or mooring on the confirmed survey day.

Is a deposit needed for Kilrush, Foynes or Fenit?

No deposit is required. Payment is due when the survey is completed. Choose your date and complete the short form; your booking reference confirms the visit.

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.
