Yacht Surveys
If you’re in the market to purchase a new or used yacht, you’ll eventually need to have a yacht survey performed.
If you’re in the market to purchase a new or used yacht, you’ll eventually need to have a yacht survey performed.
If you choose to go with a brand new yacht, you may not necessarily need a full survey done — but if you’re considering buying a used yacht, you will likely be required to have a yacht survey done for financing or insurance purposes. In fact, in many cases, banks and insurance providers won’t even consider your application without a thorough inspection performed by professionals.Conducting a professional yacht survey will help you determine the true value of the boat and what (if any) repairs are necessary to get the boat into its best operating condition. You should never rely on a survey provided by a previous owner, even if it was done recently. The boat may still have suffered unnoticeable damage that can only be detected by a trained professional.
There are times when it’s necessary to establish the monetary value of your boat. Appraisal surveys can be performed to approximate a boat’s true value to be presented in cases of court or estate settlements. In some cases, a bank or a lender may require an appraisal survey prior to financing approval.
If your boat suffers damage during a storm or an accident, your insurance company may require an overview of the damages and an approximate cost of repairs. A damage survey is performed to evaluate the extent of harm and estimate what it will cost to get your boat back in working order.
Some especially large and expensive yachts require a new yacht survey, which is generally performed for custom-built models. These surveys can take place over a span of time, while the surveyor pays multiple visits to the manufacturer during the time that the boat is being constructed.
