Appraisal Survey

Visual Inspection Of The Vessel

Appraisal Survey

An Appraisal Survey consists of a visual inspection of the vessel to identify major defects, or outstanding repairs.

Appraisals are useful to select one out of a number of yachts when looking at purchase and heading towards a decision. The report format will be similar to that of a Full Condition Survey but much less detailed. If the yacht under appraisal inspection is found to be suitable, a Full Condition Survey may then carried out.

Yacht Survey Group carries out these types of surveys for private buyers as well as finance companies/ banks/ lending institutions. These organisations could have specific requirements for the survey so they should be consulted beforehand. YSG can do this if necessary.

After completion of the survey inspection a report will be emailed within ten working days, or sooner if previously arranged. Following your receipt of the report, we are available to discuss any issues raised in the survey result.

Appraisal Survey FAQ

If you carry out an appraisal survey for me, can I get a reduction in price on a full condition survey?

For the same yacht, yes you can. We can advise you at the time of the appraisal survey what the reduction in cost would be for a full condition survey

How detailed is an appraisal survey?

It can be as detailed as you wish, but generally the survey will follow the inspection procedure as a full condition survey, but in much less detail. For example during a full condition survey all the portable sole (floor) boards will be lifted, but during an appraisal survey we might only lift the sole board in areas that we think are most lightly to reveal damage e.g. around the keel support structure on a sailing yacht. If you have any specific concerns about the yacht, or there are any areas that you specifically want inspecting, let us know beforehand and we will include this in the inspection. Sometimes we are commissioned to carry out an appraisal survey when our client has not seen the yacht, in this case we can include photos or even video in the report
