Inflatable LifeJacket Service Agents
Inflatable lifejackets offer enhanced comfort and wearability compared to traditional "block foam" or "rigid" life vests. However, they require consistent life-jacket servicing to ensure safe functionality and compliance with legal standards, as per the guidelines set by the manufacturer. At Watermarkboating, we are recognized as an Accredited Lifejacket Service Centre, equipped to service and certify a wide range of major inflatable lifejacket brands. Our professional inflatable lifejacket servicing goes beyond basic cleaning and inspection. We provide an in-depth examination and replace parts as necessary to guarantee the highest standard of safety and performance for your lifejackets.
Self Service Your Inflatable Jacket
Some manufacturers do allow you to ‘self-service’ your lifejacket, provided you do so in accordance with their instructions for a certain period however this is generally limited to 3 years from the original purchase date. If the manufacturer allows self-servicing, you should make sure you have the necessary ability, knowledge, and skill before attempting this, otherwise we recommend you contact us. If you are self-servicing a lifejacket, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and make sure the recharge kit matches your lifejacket. The self-servicing of a lifejacket is only valid if the manufacturer allows it and if you keep all servicing receipts and certificates of servicing as documentary evidence of the service occurring. Failure to do so makes verifying servicing impossible, which means you may be in breach of safety requirements and be placing yourself, your family, or friends at risk.

When do vessels require a pre-purchase inspection?
When contemplating the purchase of a boat, whether through a private sale or via a broker/dealer, my advice is to insist on an independent vessel inspection during any sales process no matter how much you know about boats.
This inspection not only raises potential current and future issues, can work to assist you in further negotiating purchase price or required repairs, but also aids in securing insurance & finance, and decide once you have all the facts if you want to proceed with the purchase
What steps should I take if my boat has been damaged?
Should your boat sustain damage, immediately reach out to your insurance provider to initiate the claims procedure. Usually, they’ll arrange for a surveyor or assessor to review the damage for them. However, if you’re interested in an independent evaluation of your boat’s damage or the repairs that are to be / have been undertaken to rectify this damage, contact Boatcheck.
A condition and valuation report is being requested by my insurance company.
Insurance companies will require you to provide a condition and valuation report every few years for older or specialised vessels or if you are insuring a vessel for the first time, these reports come in 2 forms:
- Insurance company provides you with a standard report form to get a marine surveyor to complete and sign off.
- The surveyor can compile a more thorough or detailed report using his own software.
Check with your insurer regarding their requirements and then contact Boatcheck.
