You have finally found that nice used 48 Hatteras motor yacht you have been searching for. But buying a used motor yacht is typically a trying process with purchase offers, sea trials, title abstracts, insurance and other official procedures necessary to make the purchase. When a potential used motor yacht is found, a maritime survey is absolutely critical to be certain you are getting what you are paying for.
But anyone can place his ad out there as a marine surveyor; there are no regulations covering their operations. For that reason how do you go about discovering and picking a surveyor to examine your “new” used motor yacht? Let me propose some pointers.
If you are guided by a dependable yacht broker such as me, he will lead you through the series of steps to take. I am at ease with numerous marine surveyors that I will put forward as I’ve had dealings with them before and know their skills and capabilities. I will not decide on one for you however, as I don’t want any hint of a conflict of interest. The surveyor works only for you and you alone! He will not even send me a copy of the report unless you allow it.
There are several classes of surveys existing but for you as a procurer, the pre-purchase survey is the one you will need. It will also be the most encompassing type of survey, and is regularly requested by loan institutions and insurance underwriters when purchasing a used vessel. The used motor yacht’s physical condition will be vigilantly evaluated. The worth of the yacht will also be estimated by the marine surveyor.
If your agent provides you the names of several surveyors, ask about them, then scrutinize them yourself. Surveyors, as a rule, are members of one or more qualifications boards. SAMS, the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors is almost without doubt the one he will belong to in the US. SAMS gives schooling to surveyors and certifies them as to surveying different types of boats.
Step A– Preview the surveyor’s website if there is one available. Consider what his understanding is relative to your selected vessel.
Step B – Make contact with the surveyor personally; and ask about his ability to survey your chosen boat; how many other boats like yours has he evaluated? Will he offer customer referrals?
Step C – Make inquiries about how he performs his surveys. For instance, how does he decipher moisture readings, how does he check electrical systems, how does he carry out hull hydrolysis testing, how does he establish engine mechanical condition, by taking oil samples perhaps? Will he substantiate the Hull ID to make sure the used motor yacht is not stolen; ask that a pencil rubbing be done to give to the insurance company? Ask how long the survey will take and how much it’s going to cost you; and when you can anticipate getting the final written report. Are photographs built-in in the report? Will the written report be sent to you via electronic mail or by USPS? Ask plenty of questions to get a honest assessment that the person you are getting to evaluate your “new” boat is competent and has your concerns in mind.
Marine surveys convey first-class information on a used motor yacht’s’ condition, but they are not overall guarantees as to the status of the vessel’s condition. To achieve such a survey would have need of a complete dismantling of the whole vessel and we know that’s not reasonable. The surveyor’s written report will only contain the condition and operability of those easy to reach and see areas as they existed at the time of survey
