Claim-ready communication

Give the claims team facts from the scene.

Insurance companies need to know what happened, where the vessel is, whether further damage is being mitigated, and what work is required to recover or move the boat. We help create a cleaner record for the owner, adjuster, agent, surveyor, marina, or carrier contact.

  • Emergency dewatering and pump-out documentation
  • Photos and video of vessel condition, water level, access, and recovery equipment
  • Site notes for dock, lift, canal, marina, storm, grounding, or sinking conditions
  • Tow, haul-out, repair, storage, disposal, or survey coordination notes
  • Clear invoices and recovery scope descriptions when work is performed

FAQ

Questions owners ask before a recovery call

Do you work directly with insurance adjusters and carriers?

Yes. We can speak with adjusters, marine claims teams, agents, surveyors, and owners to document the recovery scope, vessel condition, location constraints, photos, video, and next-step needs.

What claim documentation can you provide?

Typical documentation can include recovery photos, video clips, vessel location, visible registration information, water level, pump-out activity, access constraints, service notes, timestamps, and invoice details.

Can you provide emergency mitigation for a sinking or flooded vessel?

When conditions allow, we can assist with emergency dewatering, stabilization, recovery planning, tow or haul-out coordination, and documentation intended to reduce further loss.

Can an adjuster call before authorizing work?

Yes. Adjusters, claims representatives, surveyors, and agents can call to discuss vessel condition, access, safety concerns, recovery options, and what documentation is needed before or after dispatch.

Do you decide coverage or claim value?

No. Coverage, liability, and claim valuation are handled by the insurer, surveyor, and policy terms. Our role is recovery work, field documentation, and clear communication about what occurred on site.

Need recovery now?

Send the boat location, photos, and what happened.

Texting photos of the hull, water level, dock, registration number, and surrounding access helps triage the right response faster.
