Why should I hire a marine surveyor for pre purchase?

The value of hiring a marine surveyor for a pre purchase of your boat

A marine surveyor is trained to be an extra set of eyes and may be able to locate issues that the seller is potentially trying to hide or not know about and that could end up costing you a lot in the long run.

 

When you have found the boat that you really like, you might only see the visible parts and get so overwhelmed that you forget or cannot see the potential problem areas.

 

As the marine surveyor is an independent third party, he is able to look over all parts of the boat during the sea trial and carry out the survey on land without being impacted about any emotion.

 

The marine surveyor is therefore the best second pair of eyes that you can have with you during this exciting and special moment of choosing and eventually acquire the vessel.

 

An expert surveyor will have a standard checklist for boat buyers that will cover all of the important aspects of the vessel in detail to ensure that nothing is missed.

 

The purpose of obtaining a pre purchase survey on a boat is to gain as much information on the condition of the boat as possible before you buy it in order to avoid to discover unpleasant informations after you have taken the decision to buy the boat.

 

What the surveyor does, and how he does it has a lot to do with his skill, experience, and his personal methods of work. The amount of information that can be obtained is dependent on different factors. These range from the boat herself, to how much you are willing to pay to get that information.

 

The primary work of the surveyor is observation and testing.

The two most important tools that a surveyor possesses are his experience and his skills in observation.

 

At our company, we have many years of education and experience and we are very careful to give you the highest quality of work to our clients.

 

It is important to check every aspect of the boat and to look at it in detail both on land to inspect the underbody and to perform the sea trial. The sea trial involves not only performance to test the boat and its engins but it is also the moment when many major systems are checked up.
