acht Survey – Professional Boat Inspection & Pre‑Purchase Survey

A yacht survey is a professional evaluation in which a qualified surveyor thoroughly examines all structural and system components of a vessel. The aim is to reveal the true condition of the yacht — whether you are purchasing, insuring, or re‑certifying — and to protect you from possible risks.

Why should you have a yacht survey service?

  • ​To uncover hidden damage or risks in the hull and deck

  • To detect faults in machinery, electrical, water or fuel systems

  • To foresee potential costs before purchase

  • To obtain a valid report for valuation and insurance processes

  • To make a secure, informed and risk‑free investment
