Pre-Purchase Surveys

A pre-purchase survey is a thorough inspection of the vessel’s structural integrity, all system’s, operating condition and performance. A detailed report is prepared the same day of the inspection which includes an equipment list and detailed list of deficiencies. Market & replacement values are also included. Most financial and insurance companies require a pre-purchase survey.

New Construction Surveys

New construction surveys can start from the planning stages and go all the way through to the first year warranty inspections. The numerous inspections includes checking the integrity of the hull, installation of equipment and the cosmetic finish of the vessel at completion.

Seller Surveys

We conduct these type of surveys on all types of yachts and have been doing this service for both sellers and brokers for over twenty years. We find out the condition of the vessel prior to a brokerage agreeing to market the vessel so they know what they are taking on, good or bad. The same type of inspection is carried out by the seller so he does not get any major surprises when the yacht is surveyed by a buyers surveyor. Many of the small deficiencies can be corrected by the owner or crew and saves a lot of money when final negotiating is taking place.

Damage Inspections

Damage inspections determine the scope of damage and aid in the formulation of a repair plan. Progressive inspections of the repair work are often requested, along with a final inspection of completed repair work.

Audio Gauge Testing

Audio gauge testing is conducted to determine deterioration of aluminum or steel plating, most commonly used on underwater hull areas and tanks. The test does not require the coatings to be removed saving the owner many thousands of dollars.

Pre-fit survey

This service concern to assess the condition of the boat and the work necessary.

Moisture Testing

A moisture meter determines moisture content in fiberglass lamination, hull cores and wood.

Thermal Imaging

Top of the range thermal imaging cameras are used extensively during the surveys to find problems not visible to the human eye. Prior to these cameras there was no way to record delamination that we may have found by using a phenolic hammer or we had to dismantle switchboards to check all of the connections. We now use the cameras in these situations and also to check below teak decks, machinery, air conditioning systems as well as hulls.
