Types of Marine Surveys
Offering specialized services in marine surveying, appraisal, and condition evaluation tailored specifically for commercial fishing boats, as well as sport boats, charter boats and yachts measuring less than 24 meters (78.8 feet). Specific types of surveys detailed below:


Pre-Purchase Survey
When considering the purchase of a vessel, it is crucial to conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure a sound investment. This thorough evaluation should assess the overall condition and operational capabilities of the vessel. Key areas to focus on include the integrity of the hull, the functionality of all onboard systems, and the performance of electronic equipment. An expert inspection can reveal potential issues that may not be immediately apparent, allowing buyers to make informed decisions and negotiate effectively. Investing in a detailed inspection not only provides peace of mind but also safeguards against future operational problems, ensuring that the vessel will serve its intended purpose reliably.


Condition and Valuation Survey
When obtaining insurance for your boat, an assessment of its structural integrity and safety is typically required by insurance companies. This evaluation ensures that the vessel qualifies as an insurable asset rather than a potential liability. By means of a thorough survey, insurers can determine its overall condition and assess any risks associated with insuring it. Additionally, this process establishes a fair market value for the vessel, which is essential for determining the appropriate coverage and premiums. Overall, ensuring that your boat meets safety standards not only helps protect your investment but also facilitates a smoother insurance process.
Appraisal Survey
An appraisal survey is a crucial process that focuses on gathering detailed information to ascertain the fair market value of a vessel. This evaluation involves a thorough inspection of the vessel's condition, including its structural integrity, equipment, and overall functionality. Appraisers consider various factors, such as the vessel's age, specifications, and current market trends, to formulate an accurate assessment. The information obtained from the appraisal survey is invaluable for potential buyers, sellers, and financial institutions, as it ensures that all parties involved have a clear understanding of the vessel's worth. By providing this comprehensive evaluation, the appraisal survey helps facilitate informed decision-making in the maritime industry, whether for sales, financing, or insurance purposes. Ultimately, this process ensures transparency and fairness in transactions related to marine assets.
Commercial Fishing Boat
Fishing vessel surveys play a crucial role in both pre-purchase evaluations and insurance assessments. These surveys meticulously examine each fishing vessels, taking into account their own unique gear and technology tailored to specific commercial fishing activities. Key aspects assessed during these surveys include the vessel's tank configuration, the electronic equipment on board, sonar systems, refrigeration units, and deck equipment. Detailed written reports are produced, capturing the condition and functionality of all equipment, ensuring that potential buyers and insurers have a comprehensive understanding of the vessel's operational capabilities and safety features.
