Buyer-side service

Technical clarity when buying a boat in Spain.

Buying abroad introduces practical questions about access, haul-out, local arrangements, documentation and communication. Salomon Marine Surveys works independently for the prospective buyer and travels to the vessel by prior arrangement.

The survey scope is agreed before instruction and adapted to the boat, location and purchase timetable. The resulting report records observed condition, photographic evidence, limitations and practical priorities for your decision.

Surveys may be arranged for private buyers purchasing through a broker, dealer or directly from an owner.

Spanish coverage

Survey locations by arrangement.

Galicia

A Coruña, Vigo, the Rías Altas and Rías Baixas, including selected marinas, yards and haul-out facilities along the Galician coast.

Northern Spain

Asturias, Cantabria, Santander, the Basque Country, Bilbao and other northern coastal locations where practical access can be arranged.

Mediterranean Spain

Barcelona, Catalonia, Valencia and selected Mediterranean locations, with travel, timing and scope agreed for each assignment.

Survey services

Pre-purchase and targeted inspections.

A full pre-purchase inspection can address accessible hull, structure, deck, machinery, electrical and plumbing systems, rig, sails, safety equipment and onboard installations. A haul-out is normally recommended when underwater components need to be examined.

Targeted technical inspections can also be agreed for a known repair, refit item, system or model-specific concern when a full pre-purchase survey is not required.

Catamaran expertise

Cruising multihulls and Lagoon experience.

Catamaran surveys consider the interaction of two hulls, cross-structure, bridge-deck, bulkheads, structural bonding, steering and twin propulsion installations. Practical experience with Lagoon 380, 410 and 440 models provides useful context without replacing evidence from the individual vessel.

Reporting

A report for an international buyer.

The written report is structured to help you distinguish material findings from routine maintenance, monitoring points, documentary uncertainty and inspection limitations. Photographs support the observations, and findings can be discussed after delivery.

Client communication is available in English, German and Danish. Spanish communication can be supported as the business develops.
