Pre-Purchase Boat Inspection Survey
This type of inspection is the most comprehensive. We strongly advise obtaining a pre-purchase boat survey prior to closing any deal on a small boat or yacht. These vessel surveys are also known as a Condition and Value (C&V) survey. If you have any questions about this survey, our certified professional boat inspectors will walk you through the full details. After the survey is complete, we provide you with an unbiased marine survey report. It contains the following:
In preparation for a marine survey, be certain to have all pertinent paperwork ready, clean the vessel, and make arrangements for the vessel to be pulled out of the water for the out-of-water portion of the inspection.
Finance Survey
A finance survey is typically requested by a financial institution to determine fair market value and its current condition. Unbiased third party boat surveyors supply these inspections and may or may not be a partial or complete C&V survey. The bank uses the boat survey to analyze the risk when a person would like to purchase or refinance a boat. Those interested in selling or donating their vessel also request this type of survey.
Insurance Survey
Insurance companies request an insurance survey in an attempt to ascertain whether a vessel is an acceptable risk. Insurance companies almost always require a survey for older boats. This survey report will detail the boat’s structural integrity, safety for its intended use, fair market value, and replacement value. It also lists the boat inventory and whether it is being maintained correctly.
Appraisal Survey
While not all-inclusive, an appraisal survey is usually needed for donations, legal cases, estate settlements, and financing. In order to determine your vessel’s value, our vessel appraisal specialists take the overall condition, appearance, and fair market value when compared to similar vessels into consideration.
Damage Inspections Survey
Boat owners and insurance companies often seek out a damage inspection survey to determine the costs associated with the damage and probable cause. The marine surveyor may recommend repairs, provide estimates, and calculate the value of a boat prior to the damage.
