Pre-purchase condition & value
This is the most comprehensive type of boat survey inspection. It is strongly recommended when purchasing a new or used vessel. The condition and overall operation of the vessel should be examined. This covers structural integrity, electrical systems, propulsion system, fuel system, other machinery, navigation equipment, miscellaneous onboard systems, cosmetic appearance, electronics, and overall maintenance, as well as an out-of-the-water inspection.
Insurance Survey
This boat inspection is performed so the insurance company can determine if the vessel is an acceptable risk. Insurance companies are interested in structural integrity and safety for the intended use. Most insurance companies require surveys for older boats. In addition, they want to know the vessel’s fair market value. Our boat insurance survey meets your insurance provider’s needs to ensure appropriate coverage for your boat allowing you to focus on enjoying your boat.
Professional appraisals
The marine inspection process aims to collect data to establish the vessel's fair market value, essential for financing, estate settlement, donations, and legal evidence. This thorough assessment considers factors like condition, age, maintenance, and upgrades. Surveyors meticulously gather and analyze this information for transparent and accurate valuation, enabling fair decision-making in financial, legal, and administrative contexts. These assessments uphold integrity and fairness in maritime dealings and proceedings.
damage inspection/surveys
This boat inspection is performed in order to assess the cause, nature and extent of the damage to the vessel. An unbiased estimate evaluation is performed at the customer’s request. Salvage consultation on-site can be performed in the event of fire or sinking..
