Not all Marine Surveyors and Surveys are the Same

You Deserve the Best of Both...!

Lots of Yachts

Marine PrePurchase Surveys

  •   A Pre-Purchase Survey is conducted when someone is contemplating buying a vessel. It is a  very comprehensive “Condition and Valuation” (C&V) survey that often  includes operational testing of all systems and equipment, as well as a  sea trial. The vessel is typically inspected both in and out of the  water. Its primary purpose is to provide the potential buyers with the  information that they need to make an informed purchase decision. It may  also be used to satisfy insurance company and bank loan requirements.  Essentially, they want to know the vessel’s current market value and  that it is a good risk. From ABYC  

Old can be Better than New

Marine Insurance Surveys

  •  An Insurance Survey is a limited Condition & Valuation marine  survey often done specifically for insurance purposes. An insurance  C&V survey may be done with the vessel either afloat or ashore,  depending on the insurance carrier’s requirements, and doesn’t  necessarily require a sea trial or operational testing of all equipment  and systems. Each insurance company has their own set of requirements as  to what age/size vessel needs a survey, and what the survey report  should include. This is especially true for vessels made from anything  other than fiberglass (wood, steel, aluminum). The information contained  in an insurance C&V survey report is not sufficient to make an  informed decision regarding the purchase of the vessel. From ABYC.

Marine Appraisal Survey

  •  A  yacht surveyor marine surveyor also conducts appraisals which is a less complicated and less in depth marine survey  usually performed to determine the fair market value of your vessel before you sell or donate it.
