Pre Purchase Yacht or Power Marine Survey

The purpose of the survey is to provide the buyer with the necessary information to make informed decisions regarding the vessel and to evaluate its general condition prior to purchase.

The survey report includes a detailed breakdown of recommendations which are clearly graded as being essential, recommended or advisory. This can be a useful  tool to negotiate specific repairs or price adjustments with the vendor as well as  serving as a maintenance and repair checklist post purchase.

This comprehensive inspection survey covers approximately 40 points for the average sailing yacht and slightly less for Powerboats and it is strongly advised when purchasing a used vessel.


The main areas of inspection include:    

 Our range of comprehensive and detailed marine surveying inspection reports include:


Pre-purchase Marine Survey
