YACHT SURVEYS

Independent, detailed yacht surveys designed to provide a clear assessment of condition, performance, and technical integrity.

Yacht Surveyors

At SeaNet, our survey team provides thorough yacht inspections designed to give owners and buyers a clear and reliable understanding of a vessel’s overall condition. Whether assessing a pre-owned superyacht prior to purchase or conducting a general condition survey as part of ongoing ownership, we approach every inspection with technical precision, objectivity, and attention to detail. Our surveys are carried out over the course of two to three days and include a sea trial, followed by a dry berth check after approximately seven days on land. Once completed, we provide a comprehensive written report outlining the yacht’s condition, the status of each onboard system, and our findings and recommendations, giving clients the clarity needed to make informed decisions with confidence.

General Condition Survey

SeaNet offers a full general condition survey designed to review the yacht as a complete asset, both structurally and operationally. This process provides a broad and balanced overview of the vessel’s current state, helping owners and buyers understand how the yacht has been maintained and where attention may be required. Our team inspects the yacht with care and objectivity, documenting the visible condition, technical performance, and overall standard of upkeep throughout the vessel. The result is a professional assessment that supports due diligence, protects investment value, and offers reassurance before any important ownership decision is made.

Sea Trial & Technical Assessment

A key part of our survey process is the sea trial, which allows our team to assess the yacht’s performance under operating conditions. During this stage, we evaluate steering and propulsion systems, including the main engines, gearboxes, watertight sealing, and other essential technical components. Where required, oil sample analysis can also be included to provide additional insight into the condition of mechanical systems. This live technical assessment is essential in identifying issues that may not be visible when the yacht is stationary, while also giving a clearer picture of the vessel’s handling, responsiveness, and overall operational reliability.

Interior, Systems & Safety Inspection

Our inspections extend well beyond surface appearance to include a careful review of the yacht’s onboard systems, technical spaces, and living areas. This may include checks of the engine room systems, air conditioning, pumps, hydraulics, water makers, generators, electrical systems, domestic equipment, entertainment systems, and navigation electronics. We also assess the condition of the interior, onboard inventory, and key elements of fire and safety compliance. By examining both the guest-facing spaces and the technical backbone of the yacht, SeaNet delivers a complete survey process that reflects the realities of ownership, operation, and long-term maintenance.

Hull, Exterior & Written Report

The survey also includes close inspection of the hull and superstructure, both in wet berth and dry berth conditions, allowing our team to evaluate hull moisture, bilges, general maintenance levels, and overall structural condition. Exterior finishes such as gelcoat and paint can also be reviewed at a general level, with more specialised paint surveys available on request. Once the survey is complete, SeaNet delivers a detailed written report covering the yacht’s overall condition, each onboard system reviewed, and our findings and recommendations. This final report provides owners and buyers with a clear, structured, and practical document that can support negotiations, maintenance planning, or future operational decisions.
