Questions we are often asked
What does a yacht survey cost?
The fee depends on the length of the yacht, where she lies, the scope (afloat, haul-out, sea trial) and travel. We quote a fixed fee once we know the yacht and the location.
Do I need the yacht hauled out?
For a pre-purchase survey we recommend it, so the underwater hull, running gear and through-hull fittings can be inspected. Yard charges are paid directly to the yard.
Can a sea trial be added?
Yes. A sea trial is quoted as a separate item once the scope is agreed.
Who appoints and pays the surveyor?
You do. We work for the client who commissions the survey, and the report is confidential to that client.
Can you survey yachts outside Greece?
Yes. We attend yachts across the Mediterranean and beyond. Travel is quoted with the fee.
