OUR SERVICES FOR
BOAT BUYERS
Services for first-time and experienced buyers of new and used boats including pre-offer viewings, condition surveys, sea trials and valuations.
Pre-purchase survey
A range of survey options for boat buyers. From a basic structural survey to a complete inspection, these assessments of a vessel’s condition are designed to give a purchaser confidence in their chosen boat, reassurance of her seaworthiness and the information needed to verify value.
Accompanied viewing
Jointly visit boats for sale prior to making an offer. Discussion might include boat design, suitability, condition, price, legal and insurance matters, finance options, repair and refit. Perfect for inexperienced owners, buying overseas, unfamiliar boat types or especially high-value craft.
New boat acceptance
A service designed for new boat buyers, consisting of a full structural survey and meticulous examination and testing of every system, fitting and fixture. Close liaison with the boat builder to ensure exact conformity to specification, snagging, reworks, re-inspection, sign off and handover.
Sea trial
Booked separately or as part of a survey, a sea trial is the best way to test a boat and her systems under working load. General hull integrity can be checked, steering and engine performance can be verified, sails can be hoisted and sheeted-in and all water-cooled machinery can be tested.
Boat valuation
A professional independent appraisal of your boat's open market value assessed by an experienced surveyor. Be confident that you're not paying too much or selling for too little. If you are an owner, a revaluation might also be needed for insurance, finance, legal or contractual purposes.
