Why a Pre-Purchase Condition Survey Is Essential After Your Offer Is Accepted

Once your offer on a yacht has been accepted and the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) has been drafted and signed by both you and the Seller, the next crucial step is to appoint a qualified marine surveyor.

A thorough Pre-Purchase Condition Survey will provide you with a detailed report outlining the yacht’s condition, any necessary repairs, and expert recommendations.

Key Benefits of a Pre-Purchase Survey:

• Accurate Insight into the Yacht’s Condition: Understand the true state of the vessel before finalizing the purchase, preventing unexpected costs or issues.

• Insurance Documentation: Present the survey report to your insurance provider to secure appropriate coverage and potentially lower premiums.

• Future Resale Advantage: A professional survey report adds credibility when you decide to sell your yacht, increasing buyer confidence.

If you wish, we can connect you with a selection of trusted marine surveyors who can perform a comprehensive and reliable inspection.

Yacht Walkthrough Inspection: Cost-Effective Initial Assessment

If you’re interested in a yacht but want to avoid the higher cost of a full Pre-purchase Condition Survey initially, we can arrange a comprehensive Walkthrough Inspection for you.

What the Walkthrough Inspection Includes:

A qualified marine surveyor will visit the yacht and conduct a focused inspection covering approximately 30 key areas, including:

• Hull, shafts, propellers, rudders, brackets, and keel (for sailing yachts) — inspection possible only if the yacht is ashore; haul-out and haul-in costs apply otherwise

• Deck, topsides, transom, rails, mast, and rigging (for sailing yachts)

• Bilges around the keel/hull junction (for sailing yachts)

• General internal condition

• Tender and outboard motor

• Navigational electronics

• Identification of any existing damage

• Superficial engine room inspection

• Up to three additional points of special interest requested by the buyer

• Approximately 30 detailed photographs highlighting key observations

Inspection Report

Following the inspection, you will receive a concise 2-3 page report summarizing all findings and highlighting any areas that may require attention.

Next Steps

If you decide to proceed with the purchase after the Walkthrough Inspection and the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is signed, we highly recommend commissioning a full Pre-purchase Condition Survey.

You can also discuss a potential discount with your surveyor based on the initial inspection.
