Survival Suit Inspection & Repair

Survival suit inspection, repair, and certification.

Every commercial fishing vessel north of 32° latitude needs a survival suit for every person on board, inspected annually. We do this work all year, but the heaviest stretch is January and February—the boats coming in for pre-opening service. Walk-ins welcome at either shop, mail-in welcome from anywhere.

What’s included in a suit inspection

We check every part of the suit so it works when you need it:

  • Shell & reflective tape for tears, wear, and sun damage
  • Zipper to make sure it opens and closes smoothly
  • Inflation bladder, whistle & lights
  • A full visual inspection to make sure it’s in good working order

Mail-in service

Most of our out-of-state work is suits, because they’re easy to ship and the federal regs don’t care where the inspector lives. Process is straightforward:

  1. Send a quote request with brand, model, count, and the names of the suits if labeled.
  2. We email a return shipping label.
  3. You pack and ship. Use the original suit bag if you still have it.
  4. We inspect, repair if needed, certify, and ship back.
  5. Certificates emailed to you.
