Pre-Purchase Survey
Hull, structure, deck, machinery, electrical systems, plumbing, rig and sails, safety equipment and accessible onboard systems, subject to agreed scope and access.
Independent pre-purchase surveys and targeted technical inspections of sailing yachts, motor yachts and catamarans. Clear findings, photographic evidence and practical priorities help international buyers understand the boat before making a purchase decision.
A pre-purchase survey should help you decide, negotiate and plan — not simply produce a long list of defects. Inspections are structured around the vessel, the intended purchase and the agreed scope.
Hull, structure, deck, machinery, electrical systems, plumbing, rig and sails, safety equipment and accessible onboard systems, subject to agreed scope and access.
Focused inspection of multihull structure, cross-structure, bulkheads, deck/hull interfaces, steering, twin propulsion installations and cruising systems.
Targeted inspection when you need an independent technical view of a particular system, repair, refit item or known concern before proceeding.
Long-term ownership, offshore cruising and hands-on technical work provide context that cannot be learned from a checklist alone.
Mobile yacht survey assignments can be arranged across Denmark and the Iberian Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, with travel agreed in advance.
Galicia, A Coruña, Vigo, Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country and surrounding cruising areas.
Barcelona, Catalonia, Valencia and selected Mediterranean marinas and yards.
Porto, Lisbon, Atlantic Portugal and selected locations further south by arrangement.
Pre-purchase yacht surveys and technical inspections can be arranged in Danish marinas and boatyards nationwide.
Share the listing, model, year, location and your purchase timetable.
We agree inspection scope, access, haul-out/sea-trial requirements, fee and travel.
The vessel is examined independently and material findings are documented with photographs.
You receive a structured report with priorities and can discuss the findings before your purchase decision.
“A known model concern is a reason to inspect carefully. It is not, by itself, a defect in the individual vessel.”
Observed evidence is separated from assumptions, documentary uncertainty and model-specific inspection priorities. The objective is a technically useful report that helps the client make a proportionate decision.
The agreed inspection can include hull, structure, deck, machinery, electrical and plumbing systems, rig, sails, safety equipment and accessible onboard systems. Scope depends on the vessel and access available.
Yes. Assignments can be arranged in Spain, Portugal and Denmark, with the survey location, travel costs and timing agreed before instruction.
A haul-out is normally recommended when the underwater hull, appendages, through-hull fittings and propulsion components need to be inspected. Requirements are agreed for each assignment.
You receive a structured written report with photographs, material findings and practical priorities, followed by an opportunity to discuss the findings before your purchase decision.
For a useful first response, include the listing link, boat location, model/year and when you expect the survey to take place.
Languages: English, German and Danish. Spanish client communication can be supported as the business develops.
