Start my estimate ↗Good to know
Before you begin.
Do I need professional photos?
Start with clear phone photos that show the damaged area and surrounding boat. The team may request additional detail after review.
Can I begin before I have a claim number?
Start with the information available to you. Provide claim and carrier details when you have them, and discuss any missing information with B.D.E.
Does an estimate guarantee repair funding?
No. An estimate and a funding decision are separate. Float eligibility, amounts and responsibilities depend on review and written terms.
