A Typical Pre-Purchase Survey
A typical pre-purchase survey on a sailing yacht includes in-water, out-of-water, and rigging inspections. We are also happy to do sea trail.
Our survey reports also provide detailed recommendations for the purposes of getting the vessels in sound condition. They have become guidelines for our clients to negotiate purchase prices and arrange repairs and maintenance after the purchase.
A pre-purchase survey is often required by most financial companies before financing a vessel. It can also be used to obtain insurance for the vessel.
