Overview

A marine survey is an independent technical inspection of a vessel's hull, machinery, systems, and safety equipment, producing a written report used for pre-purchase decisions, insurance underwriting, damage assessment, or general condition monitoring.

We coordinate qualified marine surveyors matched to your vessel type and the survey's purpose, then help interpret the resulting report where it feeds into a purchase negotiation, insurance application, or registration requirement.

Benefits

Surveyors matched to vessel type, including yacht, workboat, and commercial vessel surveys.

Reports suitable for insurance, purchase, registration, or claims support.

Support interpreting survey findings and recommended next steps.

Coordination with sellers, marinas, or yards to schedule survey access.

Our process

  1. 01

    Survey scoping

    We confirm the survey's purpose, such as pre-purchase, insurance, damage, or condition, because this determines its scope and depth.

  2. 02

    Surveyor assignment

    A surveyor experienced with your vessel type and survey purpose is arranged.

  3. 03

    Survey and haul-out coordination

    We coordinate access to the vessel, including haul-out at a boatyard where the survey requires it.

  4. 04

    Report review

    Once the survey is complete, we help you understand the findings and any recommended follow-up.

Required documents

  • Vessel specifications and registration details
  • Access arrangement with the current owner, seller, or marina
  • Previous survey reports, if available
  • Insurance policy details, if the survey is for insurance purposes

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a pre-purchase and a condition survey?+

A pre-purchase survey is usually broader and supports a buying decision. A condition survey focuses on the vessel's current state for insurance, records, or general review.

Does a survey require the vessel to be hauled out of the water?+

Some surveys can be completed afloat, but hull, running gear, or below-waterline checks may require haul-out. We confirm this before scheduling.

Can a survey report be used for insurance renewal?+

Often yes, subject to the insurer's requirements and the age of the report. We help confirm what the insurer will accept.
