Frequently Asked Questions about Surveys & Inspections

Do you assist with pre-purchase surveys?
Yes. We support owners and buyers throughout the pre-purchase survey process, including preparing the yacht in advance and attending the survey if required. Our role is to help ensure the inspection runs smoothly and that any points raised are clearly understood.

Do you work with independent surveyors?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with recognised, independent marine surveyors. This ensures the survey process remains objective while benefiting from local coordination and technical support where needed.

Can you provide repair estimates post-survey?
Yes. Following a survey, we can review the findings and provide clear, practical repair or rectification estimates. This helps owners and buyers understand potential costs and plan next steps with confidence.

Are inspections useful before selling a yacht?
Absolutely. Pre-sale inspections can help identify issues early, avoid surprises during negotiations, and support a smoother sales process. Addressing key points in advance often improves buyer confidence and reduces delays.

Can you attend surveys on my behalf?

Do you document findings?
