Frequently asked questions about inspection and valuation

Answers to common questions about the maritime inspection and vessel valuation process.

What does a maritime inspection report include?▼
The report includes a detailed review of the hull, mechanical and electrical systems, safety equipment, sea trial, and verification of applicable certifications (SOLAS, IMO, Lloyd's). You receive a written document with the vessel's actual condition and recommendations.
How long does a yacht valuation take?▼
It depends on the size and complexity of the vessel. A standard valuation can be completed within a few days once the visit and inspection are done. Detailed condition reports may require more time for analysis and documentation.
When should I hire an inspection?▼
It is advisable before buying or selling a vessel, for insurance or revaluation purposes, and in Port State Control or regulatory compliance contexts. A pre-purchase inspection gives you peace of mind; a pre-sale inspection helps set a fair price.
What is the difference between inspection and valuation?▼
Inspection assesses the technical and safety condition of the vessel (condition, defects, regulatory compliance). Valuation determines market or replacement value and may rely on a prior inspection. Both services are complementary.
What standards do you work with (SOLAS, Lloyd's)?▼
We work in accordance with international standards such as SOLAS (safety of life at sea), IMO regulations and Lloyd's Register references when applicable. This ensures the assessment is recognised by insurers, buyers and authorities.
Can I request an inspection before buying a boat?▼
Yes. A pre-purchase inspection is one of the best ways to ensure the vessel meets what is offered and has no hidden defects. You receive a clear report to negotiate or withdraw with good reason.
