Independent surveys

Know the vessel before you commit.

Qualified marine surveyors and engine specialists who work for you — independent from the seller, the broker and any repair yard.

What we offer

Pre-purchase survey

Hull, deck, structure, systems and safety equipment, in and out of the water, with a written report.

Engine & machinery survey

Engine-maker technicians, oil analysis, generator and drive checks, and review of service history.

Sea trial attendance

Performance, vibration and temperatures under load, compared against the builder figures.

Condition & insurance survey

For renewals, valuation or after an incident — accepted by most marine insurers.

  2. 2We propose an independent surveyor and confirm availability and fee.
  3. 3You approve; we coordinate haul-out, sea trial and access with the seller.
  4. 4You receive the report, photographs and a list of findings.

Useful to have ready
