What is a Pre Purchase Survey?
A pre-purchase survey is an independent, thorough inspection of a vessel carried out before you commit to buying. It provides you with a detailed, unbiased report on the condition of the hull, deck, superstructure, engine, rigging, and onboard systems — giving you the confidence to make an informed decision.
Why You Need a Pre Purchase Survey
Buying a boat is a significant investment. A pre-purchase survey identifies potential defects, safety concerns, and maintenance issues that may not be visible during a viewing. Our surveyors provide you with a clear picture of the vessel's true condition, helping you negotiate a fair price or avoid a costly mistake.
