Pre-Purchase Yacht Survey

A pre-purchase survey provides a detailed snapshot of a yacht’s condition prior to purchase, allowing informed decisions to be made with a clear understanding of the vessel as it is at the time of inspection.

WestMar Surveys carries out independent pre-purchase surveys for sailing and motor yachts up to 100 ft.

Scope of inspection

Each survey is adapted to the vessel, but typically includes:

 

- Hull, deck and structural elements

- Machinery and onboard systems

- Electrical and plumbing installations

- Rig, spars and deck hardware

- Safety equipment and general condition

 

Reporting

A written report is provided following the inspection, outlining:

 

- Observed condition and notable findings

- Items requiring attention and their relative priority

- Areas where further specialist inspection is recommended

- Practical comments on maintenance and ownership implications

- Findings are explained clearly and proportionately.

 

Reports can be provided in English, French, German or Spanish.
