Yacht Surveys

A yacht survey is a comprehensive evaluation of a yacht's condition and seaworthiness. It is typically conducted by experienced marine surveyors who know yacht construction, systems, and regulations. The survey may include an inspection of the hull, deck, rigging, sails, machinery, electrical systems, plumbing, and safety equipment.

 

Yacht surveys may involve visual inspections, measurements, and testing of various systems and components. The surveyor may also review documentation, such as maintenance logs and equipment manuals, to comprehensively understand the yacht's history and maintenance.

 

Upon completion of the survey, the surveyor furnishes a detailed report. This report not only highlights any issues found but also provides recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or maintenance. The owner or buyer can leverage this comprehensive report to make well-informed decisions about the yacht's purchase, maintenance, and operation.

 

We aim to provide our clients with the information they need to make informed decisions about their yacht and ensure their vessel is seaworthy, safe, and compliant with all applicable regulations.
