Insurance Condition Survey

Typically required every 5 years once a vessel is over 20 years old or when changing insurance companies. An insurance survey is a shortened version of a pre-purchase survey with particular emphasis on structural integrity, safety and suitability for intended use. It offers the same inspections as a pre-purchase or condition survey but contains less detail and does not cover cosmetic issues.

Typically an insurance survey will involve a full day out the water inspection. The written report will normally be available in 7 days. The quotation is usually a fixed fee depending on size and complexity of vessel and surveys usually completed to the price quoted.
