A Smarter Way to Inspect Your Hull

Traditional hull checks are costly, disruptive and weather dependent. With a tethered ROV, you can launch on demand,
inspect the whole hull in 4K, measure defects on the spot and only haul out when the footage proves you need to.

02
Navigate
Move around the keel, propeller, rudder and anodes.
03
Inspect & Measure
Hold a close view to identify growth, corrosion or damage, and add a Laser Scaler when a visible size reference is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

INSPECTION & PERFORMANCE

Run an underwater hull inspection with a tethered ROV. Launch beside the vessel, scan the hull in a grid and record 4K video with measured stills of any defects.

Yes. A boat hull inspection with an ROV happens in the water, so you only haul out when the footage shows real damage.

Yes, within limits. Strong onboard lighting and slow, close passes keep footage readable in most marina water. No camera sees through zero visibility.

The V6 EXPERT with the Laser Scaler is the surveyor's pick. Boat owners doing their own checks are well served by the V-EVO, while large commercial hulls call for the E-GO.

Yes. The Underwater Laser Scaler projects a reference scale into the frame so you can size up cracks, pitting and growth directly from the footage.

FIFISH records 4K video and stills with on-screen depth and orientation data, which gives surveyors and insurers a repeatable visual record of the hull's condition.

Vessel size is limited by tether length rather than the hull. With tether spools from 100m to 300m, the platform covers everything from trailer boats to commercial hulls.

For repeat inspection and documentation, the ROV. For hands-on cleaning and repair, the diver. Many owners use both, just less often.
