Pre-purchase / Condition surveys

Safety and reliability are critical factors when purchasing a boat, and pre-purchase inspections are an important part of the process. Pre-purchase inspections are aimed at checking and evaluating the boat to ensure it is in good condition and worth the investment.

During pre-purchase inspections, the following activities are usually carried out:

This involves checking the condition of the ship from the outside, including the hull, side panels, surfaces, and external structural elements.

The general condition of the vessel is checked, including the hull, fittings, systems, equipment, and decoration.

Check the condition of the engine, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and other systems that affect the operation of the boat.

This includes checking of navigation equipment, communication system, navigation lights, and other related items.

The condition of the masts, sails, safety equipment, and other items related to the safety of the boat and the passengers are checked.

This includes checking the condition and operation of safety equipment such as life jackets, fire extinguishers, life preservers, warning signs, and more.

The short circuit detection systems and other critical components are tested.

After the inspections are completed, professionals can provide a detailed check of the condition of the boat and its systems, helping the potential buyer make an informed decision.

the report after the pre-purchase inspection highlights the findings and includes general details of the vessel. This report is important to the potential buyer as it provides them with a detailed picture of the condition of the vessel and the findings of the inspection.

Typically, the report includes the following items:

A description of the general condition of the vessel, including appearance, materials, and hull condition.

A report on the status of the ship’s systems, including mechanical, electrical, electronic, and hydraulic systems.

A detailed report of the findings of the inspection, including any problems, defects, or anomalies identified during the inspection.

Possible recommendations or suggestions for repairs or improvements to be made to the vessel.

The post-purchase inspection report is an important source of information for the buyer and provides the opportunity for the buyer to make an informed decision about purchasing the boat.
