If you have a vessel or project in mind and need support or a survey, just send an e-mail to the address below and we will be happy to advise on the procedure, cost, and time frame. Generally, following the initial enquiry, information regarding the yacht and required scope of work is gathered and a survey folder opened for the project. Depending on the size of yacht, type, and scope of the survey required, the on-sight survey will take one or two days, in some cases three. Preparing the all-important survey report, included digital pictures, invariably takes a full day. The survey report, which is solely owned by the client, will typically be 30 to 45 pages covering all aspects of the survey, level of quality, faults, and recommendations.

The Role & Responsibilities of a Superyacht Surveyor:
The Role & Responsibilities of a Superyacht Surveyor:
The roles of a superyacht surveyor, the same as for any marine survey work, are many and varied but the priority is to examine, study, scrutinize, evaluate, estimate, record, and supply the client an accurate, up to date appraisal of the overall condition, and safety, of the vessel. Included in the final survey report will be recommendations for any work required to bring the vessel to the client’s required standard, Class and safety standards for the vessels intended use. A current valuation of the yacht may also be included.

The superyacht surveyor works for and is responsible to, the client who hires him or her and no one else. The final detailed survey report is specifically for the client who pays the surveyor and no one else. The surveyor maintains copyright over the written survey report and will keep copies for future reference.

Upon initial contact or enquiry from the client the superyacht surveyor will immediately open a folder for the project and start to gather information about the yacht, Class, owners, build yard and as much information about the yacht prior to commencing the actual survey. There must be an on-site contact person, preferably crew, to prepare the vessel beforehand and be on hand to start and stop engines and equipment. It will reduce time and costs if the contact person is provided with the pre-survey check list. As shown below.

A standard contract agreement will be made between the client and the superyacht surveyor indicating the type of survey required and intended scope of work. It is vitally important the surveyor and the client are on the same page, understand and agree precisely what is to be surveyed and to what depth. This is of particular importance when surveying the yachts exterior and interior finishes. When the scope and depth of the survey is agreed and the contract signed a date and time will be arranged for the surveyor to be on board or on site. In the interim the contact person will be sent the pre-survey check list and the prudent surveyor will make verbal contact with the person.
