PRE-PURCHASE SURVEYS
A Pre-Purchase Survey, often referred to as a Condition and Valuation Survey (C&V), is the most comprehensive type of marine survey and is strongly advised (often required) when purchasing a new or used boat. It provides a prospective buyer with detailed documentation to confirm or deny that a vessel is free of operational hazards, defects and damages and is appropriately valued. This type of boat survey covers structural integrity, electrical systems, fuel systems, other machinery, navigation equipment, miscellaneous onboard systems, cosmetic appearance, electronics, safety equipment and overall maintenance; as well as an out-of-water inspection. Limited trial runs are also common as part of a pre-purchase inspection. A proper C&V survey requires the vessel to be hauled out of the water in order to inspect the hull and underwater gear.
INSURANCE SURVEYS
An Insurance Survey is an inspection that your insurance carrier often requires in order for them to bind or renew coverage on your vessel. This inspection is utilized to determine whether or not the vessel is an acceptable risk for the insurance company. The insurance company is especially interested in structural integrity, safety for the vessel's intended use, and the fair market value. Most insurance companies will require a marine survey on older or used vessels.
