PHASE OUT SURVEYS
Let us guide you through the ‘Phase-out’ process. We offer you our services to take care of your concerns about your floating investment.
If possible, we recommended that you complete the last (or one of the last) charters on your vessel before it starts the Phase-out process. After the last charter, the charter company gives you the opportunity to employ an independent surveyor to take care of your interests. We will gladly meet with you on board to discuss your concerns or correspond by e-mail. After informing the charter company of your decision to employ an independent surveyor, we will co-ordinate with the charter company operations staff and complete a comprehensive Condition Survey. The vessel is normally inspected out of the water during the Phase-out haulout. If there is no scheduled haulout at this time due to the boat having been hauled a few months prior to the Phase-out, we recommend that you authorize us to complete a ‘lunchtime haulout inspection’ at a local boatyard on the day of the survey. A sea trial will also be completed at this time. With our survey report, your documented 'owners concerns' and the charter company's own 'in house inspection’, a work list will be created. You will be informed by the charter company which issues listed in our Comments & Recommendations are regarded as ' fair wear & tear' and will not be completed. You should consult your Phase-out manual and yacht ownership contract. If requested, we will follow up on the repairs and keep you updated with regular e-mails. At the end of the Phase-out we will do a final 'Follow-up' report to ensure that all of the agreed 'Comments & Recommendations' are completed satisfactorily. This report can be forwarded to insurance companies or financial institutions to complete the survey process.

Our Insurance Surveys are accepted by all Insurance Companies. Our rates are usually between $10 and $12/ft, depending on the type of vessel. Please contact us for further info.

Not too sure about the condition of the yacht, which you found on the Internet? Before you plan on an expensive trip to the Caribbean or invest in a full Pre-purchase Condition Survey, let us do a short inspection of the vessel for you. We will inspect the most important areas of the yacht and send you a short report with many color photographs by e-mail. We will then, if necessary, gladly discuss the boat with you. On an average 40 - 50ft. yacht, the charge is $300. This is reduced to $200 if you decide to continue with a full survey later.
