Pre-purchase marine survey for buying a pre-owned sailboat in CANNES

Assessing a pre-owned sailing yacht before purchase: optimize your high-end pre-purchase assessment in CANNES

Buying a pre-owned sailing yacht is a significant investment, often made in a hurry and with a lack of reliable technical information.

To make this decision more secure, a pre-purchase maritime survey provides a clear picture of the actual condition of the vessel before any negotiations take place. In Cannes, the high demand for pleasure and racing yachts requires rigorous checks to avoid costly mistakes.

Pre-purchase marine survey in Cannes - A comprehensive inspection and analysis

The survey is based on a precise methodology: inspection of the yacht on land, sea trial, osmosis test, structural diagnosis, oil test, engine audit and comprehensive analysis of equipment.

Each item is checked according to strict protocols to accurately establish the condition of the vessel.

Reports are provided in French or English, depending on your needs, facilitating international transactions.

Advantages for the buyer: security, neutrality, true value of the vessel

Calling on a certified, competent and experienced marine surveyor ensures complete neutrality during the pre-purchase process.

The aim is to accurately identify the strengths and weaknesses of the yacht, anticipate future costs, verify structural compliance and establish the fair market value.

The expertise is carried out by Marc EMIG, a former professional sailor, two-time world vice-champion, five-time French champion and three-time French vice-champion.

Marc EMIG is a graduate of ENSAM (Ecole nationale supérieure d'arts et de métiers), certified by CESAM (Comité d'études et de services des assureurs maritimes et transport) and a graduate of CNPP (Centre national de prévention et de protection).

His experience with racing and pleasure yachts guarantees a reliable technical assessment, which is essential for a worry-free purchase.

Why call on a maritime expert as Marc EMIG, with a long career and extensive experience (rather than the cheapest expert or the first available one) when buying a second-hand sailing boat?

An experienced maritime expert can detect defects that are invisible to a non-specialist buyer: microcracks, structural problems, engine wear, signs of osmosis, maintenance inconsistencies. This analysis helps to avoid unpleasant surprises and to base the negotiation on a solid foundation. An experienced marine survey expert will cost you less in the end as he will make sure you know every single detail of the vessel before buying it.
