Before maintenance
First check the underwater condition before planning cleaning, repair or a yard visit.
With underwater drone inspection, NautIQX clearly shows the condition of your hull, propeller, rudder and underwater vessel parts — without a crane, without guesswork and without unnecessary downtime.
Growth, damage, wear, dirt build-up or irregularities near the propeller and rudder are often only discovered once the vessel is already out of the water. With drone inspection, you gain earlier insight, without immediately planning a yard visit.
This makes the service ideal for owners who take vessel maintenance seriously, but also for purchase, sale, periodic checks or a quick inspection after doubt or possible damage.
NautIQX makes underwater maintenance visual. You see what happens below the waterline and can then decide more clearly which next step is needed.
Click through the inspection points and see which parts receive extra attention during an underwater drone inspection.
We look at visible growth, dirt build-up, coating issues, scratches and possible irregularities on the hull below the waterline.
The propeller and rudder are important for performance and safety. Drone footage helps to visually identify dirt, damage or irregularities.
Anodes, through-hull fittings and other underwater parts can be visually checked for clear wear, dirt build-up or noticeable irregularities.
The inspection gives an overall view of the visible condition below the waterline, so you know more clearly whether cleaning, repair or a next step is needed.
First check the underwater condition before planning cleaning, repair or a yard visit.
Check visible irregularities on the hull, propeller or rudder after an incident or unknown sound.
Underwater footage can help give better insight into the visible condition of the vessel.
Ideal as part of a maintenance subscription or fixed yacht care routine.
You share the vessel type, location and reason for inspection.
We assess the situation and plan a suitable moment.
The underwater drone visually records the important parts.
You receive clear information about visible attention points.
First see what is happening underwater, then clean with focus. This gives you not only insight, but also a cleaner hull and better sailing efficiency.
An underwater drone inspection gives boat owners fast and clear insight into the condition of the vessel below the waterline. This is exactly where problems often develop that cannot be seen from the dock. Think of growth on the hull, dirt around the propeller, damage to the coating, wear on anodes or irregularities near the rudder. By visually checking the underwater vessel while the boat stays in the water, you prevent unnecessary guesswork and get a better view of what is truly needed.
For many owners, a boat hull inspection is especially useful before maintenance, purchase, sale or after doubts about damage. When a vessel sails less smoothly, seems to use more fuel or responds differently than normal, underwater dirt or damage may be a possible cause. With clear underwater footage, it becomes visible whether there is growth, dirt build-up or attention points around important components.
The inspection is also valuable as preparation for hull cleaning. First check what is happening below the waterline, then clean or plan maintenance with focus. This helps prevent unnecessary work, while clear issues are noticed earlier. Especially for yachts, sloops and boats that stay in the water for longer periods, a regular visual boat inspection can help monitor the condition of the underwater vessel more effectively.
NautIQX focuses on modern and careful checking of the underwater vessel. With a boat inspection without crane approach, the vessel can often simply stay in the water while the most important zones are visually checked. This makes the service accessible, efficient and suitable for owners who take maintenance seriously. Whether it is a periodic check, a quick damage inspection, an inspection before sale or a combination with cleaning: an underwater drone inspection gives clarity when you need it.
Below you will find short answers about the underwater drone inspection by NautIQX.
In many cases, no. The inspection is specifically intended to view important underwater parts while the vessel stays in the water.
Yes, the inspection focuses on visual checks with drone footage. These images help to better understand the condition below the waterline.
No. It is a visual underwater inspection. For official technical or structural surveys, additional specialist research may be needed.
Yes. Inspection and hull cleaning can be combined very well for insight and direct results.
