Sailboat Rigging Inspection & Service

We recommend annual rigging inspections for actively sailed boats and every 2-3 years for cruising sailboats. Standing rigging should be replaced every 10-15 years depending on usage, UV exposure, and material. In Southwest Florida's harsh UV and salt environment, more frequent inspections are advisable. Our inspection starts at $210 and includes a detailed written report.

Our rigging inspection covers all standing rigging (shrouds, stays, forestay, backstay), chainplates, turnbuckles, swage fittings, toggle pins, cotter pins, spreaders, mast hardware, running rigging condition, furling system operation, winch function, and all deck hardware. We provide a written report with photos and prioritized recommendations.
