Pioneering Transparency Across British Waters
Founded by marine survey veterans and maritime data specialists, Check My Boat delivers comprehensive forensic vessel history audits for buyers, brokers, and mariners across the United Kingdom.
Why We Built the UK's First Specialized Marine Registry
For decades, purchasing a second-hand boat in the UK required blind faith. Unlike road vehicles, marine craft have operated across fragmented harbor authorities, private boatyards, and regional canal trusts without a unified public history check.
Every year, hundreds of unsuspecting British boat buyers purchase vessels with undisclosed structural damage, submerged hull salvage records, or worse: outstanding marine mortgages that legally remain attached to the vessel.
Check My Boat was established with a single, clear mission: to eliminate deceptive boat sales by providing uncompromised transparency through verified physical HIN/CIN transom audits, official MCA registers, and direct lender inquiries.
Forensic Hull & HIN Examination
Multi-source verification cross-referencing physical markings with national registries
Powered by Authoritative UK Maritime Intelligence
We do not rely on self-reported seller claims. Our verified audit reports synthesize deep data from the United Kingdom's foremost maritime authorities:
Four Pillars of Maritime Verification
Every boat audit produced by our specialist team adheres to stringent surveying protocols:
Forensic Hull Integrity
Rigorous verification of the 14-character Hull Identification Number (HIN/CIN) against recorded police theft databases and factory manufacturer build archives.
Financial Clearance
Direct inquiries with British marine lending institutions ensuring the hull is 100% free of outstanding marine mortgages, maritime liens, and shipyard repair debts.
Legal Title Continuity
Verification of the mandatory unbroken chain of 5-year MCA standard Bills of Sale, Builder's Certificates, and registered ownership records.
Guaranteed 6-Hour Delivery
Fast, reliable turnaround delivered straight to your email as a comprehensive, publication-grade PDF report ready for surveyor or legal review.
