Buying a yacht is a significant financial and emotional investment. Unlike cars or real estate, many critical yacht defects are not visible during a casual viewing or sea trial. A professional pre-purchase yacht survey is the only reliable way to understand the true condition, risks, and future costs of a vessel before committing to a purchase.

Hidden Defects Are Common

Even well-maintained yachts may suffer from issues such as:

• Structural fatigue or previous repairs

• Moisture ingress in hulls, decks, and bulkheads

• Corrosion in tanks, fittings, and underwater components

• Electrical and safety system deficiencies

• Poor or undocumented modifications

These problems often remain hidden until they become expensive or dangerous.
