An independent eye,
over every inch.
Pre-purchase, insurance, condition, and class surveys for sailing and motor yachts, both under and over 24 metres. Thorough inspection, plain reporting, and advice you can act on.
Sailing and motor yachts, surveyed in full.
For yachts below 24 metres load line length, we carry out independent surveys that give owners, buyers, and insurers a clear and honest picture of a vessel's condition. Whether the boat is a cruising yacht, a raceboat, or a small motor yacht, every survey is tailored to how she is built and how she is used.
Pre-Purchase Condition Survey
A full inspection of hull, deck, structure, rig, systems, and equipment before you buy, with a written report and a clear assessment of condition and any defects found.
Insurance & Renewal Survey
Condition surveys to satisfy underwriters at purchase or renewal, covering structure, safety equipment, gas, electrical, and through-hull fittings.
Small Commercial Vessel Coding
Inspection and guidance for MCA Small Commercial Vessel and Workboat coding, so a yacht under 24 metres can be certified for charter or commercial use.
Rig, Moisture & Osmosis Checks
Standing and running rigging assessment, moisture mapping of GRP and composite hulls, and osmosis investigation where blistering or water ingress is suspected.
Superyacht surveys, held to class and flag.
For yachts above 24 metres, surveys sit alongside classification and flag state requirements. We work with owners, captains, and management to assess condition against the standards that apply to the vessel, from pre-purchase due diligence to the inspections that keep a yacht in class and in certificate.
Pre-Purchase Condition Survey
Detailed condition assessment for larger sailing and motor yachts, coordinated with sea trials, engine and machinery surveys, and a full defect and valuation summary.
Class & Flag State Compliance
Liaison with classification societies and flag administrations, including Large Yacht Code surveys, statutory inspections, and periodic and renewal survey coordination.
New Build & Warranty Inspection
Independent inspection during construction and through the warranty period, so defects are found and recorded while the yard remains responsible for them.
Refit & Damage Survey
Condition surveys before and after refit, and damage surveys following grounding, collision, or heavy weather, with reporting suited to owners, managers, and insurers.
One report you can act on.
Every survey follows the same principle, whatever the size of the yacht. We inspect thoroughly, record clearly, and set out what we find in a report you can put in front of a broker, an underwriter, or a shipyard. Nothing is glossed over, and every recommendation is explained.
Hull, Structure & Deck
Laminate and moisture condition, structural integrity, keel and rudder attachment, deck fittings, and signs of previous repair.
Machinery & Systems
Engines, generators, steering, electrical, plumbing, bilge, and fuel systems, with sea trial observations where a trial is carried out.
Safety & Compliance
Life-saving and firefighting equipment, gas installations, navigation lights, and the certification the vessel is required to hold.
Report & Valuation
A written report with photographs, a prioritised list of defects, and, where requested, an independent valuation for insurance or sale.
