Yacht Survey
Before buying, insuring or entering a long season, a yacht deserves an independent look — from hull to engine room. We coordinate the entire survey process with qualified surveyors, so our client deals with a single point of contact from booking to report.
Types of survey
- 01Pre-purchase survey — an independent assessment of hull, machinery and equipment before a buying decision
- 02Insurance survey — the condition report an insurer requires to issue or renew a policy
- 03Annual / periodic check — a general condition assessment before the season or an extended lay-up
- 04Sea trial coordination — observing engine and system performance during a sea trial
Independent yacht surveys for pre-purchase, insurance renewal and annual checks.
Before buying, insuring or entering a long season, a yacht deserves an independent look — from hull to engine room. We coordinate the entire survey process with qualified surveyors, so our client deals with a single point of contact from booking to report.
How the process works
- 01We arrange an independent, qualified surveyor suited to the yacht's location and segment
- 02We organise our client's (or their representative's) attendance during the inspection
- 03The report is reviewed together with the client once delivered
- 04If needed, we support negotiations with the seller/yard based on the findings
We believe in independence: our survey services are carried out by qualified surveying firms independent of Marine Group Yachting — we coordinate the process, but never influence its outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Marine Group Yachting carry out the survey itself?
No. The survey is carried out by independent, qualified surveying firms; Marine Group Yachting only coordinates the process and accompanies the client through scheduling and reporting. This keeps the assessment impartial.
How long does a survey report take?
Timing depends on the yacht's size and the type of survey; reports are typically delivered within a few business days after the inspection.
How do I know which survey type my insurer requires?
You can consult us about the report format and scope your insurer requests, and we will arrange the appropriate surveyor accordingly.
