Pre purchase

A pre-purchase survey is the most comprehensive type of inspection, and is strongly advised to buyers when purchasing a new or used vessel.

Condition and operation of the vessel is examined in detail.

Points covered during the pre-purchase survey, amongst many others, are structural integrity, electrical systems, the propulsion system, the fuel system, other machinery, navigation equipment, miscellaneous on-board systems, cosmetic appearance, electronics, and overall maintenance.

Inspection at drydock and an extensive sea trial with data gathering is part of the pre-purchase survey.

Next to nearly endless lists of large and small issues all through the vessel, the surveyor will carry out a sea trial, monitoring the performance of the yacht, and eventually he will listen to his general feeling about the vessel before advising the potential buyer.
