Services
Pre-Purchase Surveys
Pre-purchase surveys provide a detailed assessment of a vessels structural, mechanical, and electrical systems. We identify deficiencies, assign market values, and evaluate equipment to inform buying decisions. Most lenders and insurers require this service for financing or coverage.
New Construction Consultation
Our team offers progressive inspections during yacht construction, covering design review, contract analysis, and final acceptance surveys. Early involvement ensures compliance with industry standards and client specifications for optimal results.
Insurance Evaluation
Insurance surveys determine a vessels value and marine risk for underwriting purposes. We assess structural integrity, systems, and compliance to support re-insurance or policy renewals.
Damage Inspections
Damage inspections evaluate the scope of harm from incidents like collisions or groundings. We develop repair plans and conduct follow-up inspections to verify work quality and safety.
Audio Gauge Surveys
Audio gauge testing identifies deterioration in aluminum and steel hulls, tanks, and structures. This non-invasive method ensures accurate assessments of vessel integrity and longevity.
