Common Questions
How much does a marine survey cost?
Pre-purchase surveys typically range from $25 to $35 per foot for the hull and mechanical inspection. A 60-foot yacht survey would run approximately $1,500–$2,100 plus haul-out fees. We provide an exact quote before scheduling.
Should I attend the survey?
We strongly encourage it. Being present during the inspection lets you see the vessel's condition firsthand, ask questions in real time, and better understand the report. We walk you through every finding on site.
What if the survey reveals major issues?
That's exactly why you get a survey. We document every finding with photos and severity ratings, giving you the leverage to renegotiate the price, request repairs, or walk away. Our report is your negotiating tool.
Do you survey yachts outside of Florida?
Yes. We travel anywhere the yacht is located — across the US, Caribbean, and internationally. Travel expenses are disclosed and approved before booking.
How far in advance should I book?
We typically need 5–7 business days to schedule a survey, though urgent requests can sometimes be accommodated. During peak season (October–March), we recommend booking 2 weeks ahead.
