SMALL CRAFT SERVICES
Yacht projects is equally focused on all yachts large and small, power or sail, offering the same range and quality of marine surveying and consultancy services. Our team has significant experience and expertise in small craft survey, safety standards and regulation.
Pre-Purchase condition surveys
When buying a boat, it’s essential to know exactly the real condition of the vessel and the best way to achieve this is through a detailed pre-purchase condition survey. Our experienced team can provide you with a detailed explanation of the status of the boat’s hull, superstructure, equipment, machinery, and internal fittings. We thoroughly check the boat
out of the water and in the water, check the operation of all mechanical and electrical items and detail the equipment on board at the time. We can also arrange for oil sample testing from engines to predict any potential issues, but we recommend that a full diagnostic assessment by an authorised agent for the engines is completed separately.
Insurance Surveys
When your insurer wants to know the condition of your vessel. We offer a less detailed version of the pre-purchase report, but equally comprehensive insurance condition survey for all types of small craft. We have a trusted reputation with the leading insurance companies.
When a pre purchase survey is conducted the report can be used as an insurance survey equally.
Damage Inspections
In the event of an incident, it’s important to have an independent survey to understand the full extent of damage. Shock loading in the event of a collision or grounding, or just from intense use or use in heavy weather can cause damage which may not be easily visible. Our surveyors have the right background and experience to make a thorough assessment of damage; considering the type of vessel, accounting for the type of damage, and with expert knowledge on the behaviour of structural materials.
Pre-Voyage Health Check
If you’re new to boating and about to embark on a voyage, or just looking for peace of mind. Then why not get one of our surveyors, to provide a Health-Check condition report on your boat. We will take account of the boat’s age and type, what it’s been used for up to now, what you intended to use it for, and where you intend to go so that we can advise on what needs to be sorted before you go.
