You currently own a boat and need a condition report:-

  • for your peace of mind,
  • to plan your winter maintenance programme
  • for insurance purposes.:-

Launching time is upon you and the anticipation of the coming season is building. The last thing you want, a couple of weekends into the season, is for faults that have remained undiscovered during the winter lay up period, or may have arisen during the winter to become apparent now. A condition report from Yacht and Boat Surveys Ltd mid lay-up will provide you with a maintenance plan for the remaining months of the winter season, avoiding disappointment and offering peace of mind for the coming season.

 OsmosisAs the years of your ownership pass, many Insurance Companies will require a survey / condition report on your craft before renewing your insurance policy, or offering you new insurance. Yacht and Boat Surveys Ltd can provide condition reports tailored to the needs of the insurance companies, helping to ensure that your start to the season is not held up through last minute snags over insurance.
