Yacht Surveys

A yacht survey is a comprehensive evaluation of the condition and seaworthiness of a yacht.

Yacht surveys are 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 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.

 

After completing the survey, the surveyor will provide a detailed report outlining any issues found and recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or maintenance. The owner or buyer can use the survey report to make informed decisions about the yacht's purchase, maintenance, and operation.

 

Our goal is 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.
