Insurance Survey & Appraisal
 
This survey is similar to the "Buyer's Pre-Purchase Survey & Appraisal", although it typically does not include a sea-trial or operation of all on-board systems. An out-of-water inspection may or may not be necessary depending on the requirements of individual insurance companies and/or marine lenders. This survey and appraisal is also appropriate for the purpose of vessel donation and/or estate settlements.
 
Buyer's Pre-Purchase Survey & Appraisal
 
This "Condition & Valuation" analysis is a comprehensive inspection conducted when purchasing a used or new vessel. Structure, condition and operation of all on-board systems and machinery are closely examined, where possible under load. This survey includes an out-of-water inspection of the bottom and an extensive sea-trial. On sailboats, a visual inspection of the rig at deck level is also conducted.

Immediately after the survey our client receives an on-site consultation on the preliminary findings of the survey. Within 3 business days a detailed report of survey and valuation that includes digital photography is sent to our client electronically and/or by mail, as per request.  The report includes a prioritized list of all findings, recommendations and safety concerns, as well as a determination of fair-market value.
