Tired of wondering what’s REALLY wrong with that boat you’ve been eyeing online?…

We've all been there.


You're scrolling through boat listings late at night, and you find "the one." The photos are stunning. The description says "excellent condition." The price seems almost too good to be true.


And that's usually because it is.


Here's the hard truth about buying boats online in the Florida Keys: what you see is rarely what you get. That "minor gel coat scratch" might be covering structural damage. Those "freshly serviced engines" might have undocumented hours. That "fully functional electronics package" might have one working radio and a fish finder from 2005.



The Three Big Lies of Online Boat Listings:


1. "Well-Maintained" - Often means "the owner did the oil changes but ignored the corrosion eating the transom"

2. "No Known Issues" - Usually means "no issues the seller is willing to disclose"

3. "Turn-Key Ready" - Sometimes means "it'll turn over... eventually"


Why This Matters More in the Florida Keys:


Our unique marine environment is brutal on boats. Saltwater accelerates corrosion. The sun destroys electronics. And the hard running in our waters tests every component. What looks "clean" in photos can have hidden problems that only a trained eye can spot.


The Good News: You Don't Have to Guess


Imagine having a local expert who can:


· Verify the boat's actual condition (not the seller's description)

· Identify potential safety issues before you're miles offshore

· Give you the confidence to negotiate or walk away

· Save you from buying a beautiful-looking money pit



That's exactly what our professional inspection service provides. We're your eyes on the ground, giving you the real story about that "perfect" boat you found online.
