Purchase Survey
The purchase survey is the most extensive of all inspections. It includes a comprehensive examination of the entire vessel and all of her mechanical and electrical systems. Hauling out is required in order to preform a detailed wet surface inspection where the underwater gear and hull integrity is checked. A sea trial is also required to determine the performance, handling, sea keeping and reliability of the vessel. The vessel will be put through a systematic set of trials in which careful observation of the machinery and systems will be preformed in order to provide you with a professional opinion of the vessel in action. All examination are preformed in a non-destructive manor. A background history of the vessel, as well as the certificates and serial numbers of critical parts and accessories will be provided. An official marine survey report based on the American Boat and Yacht Council, National Fire Protection Association and US Coast Guard Standards will be provided detailing market value, recommendations, replacement costs, and comments on overall conditions of the vessel. This process can take anywhere from a few hours for smaller vessels to several days for larger boats and yachts depending on the availability of haul out services. In cases where a haul-out or dry docking is not an option, a dive inspection of the wet surface areas can be preformed.
Insurance Survey
In most cases before insurance can be secured for your new vessel the insurance provider will require proof of an insurance survey. This verifies for the insurance provider that the safety mechanisms and critical operational features of the vessel are up to standards and determines the overall seaworthiness of the vessel. These include a check of the hull, safety systems, and background check of the vessel to determined if prior damages has been incurred. This survey is sometimes referred to a “condition and value” survey. Based on the assessed condition of the vessel this survey may include recommendations on the insurability of the vessel.
Appraisal Survey
The appraisal surveys is used for financing, estate and divorce settlement, and donation of vessels to charities. Professional marine servers are recognized by the IRS, courts, banks and insurance companies as boat and yacht appraisers within their area of expertise. The focus too this survey is to determine fair market value based on the vessels systems and overall condition.
