Calculate an Initial Survey Estimate
Use the calculator to obtain an initial indication of the professional fee for a pre-purchase yacht survey. Select the vessel length, yacht type and inspection scope that most closely match your requirements.
The estimate is intended to support initial planning. A formal quotation will be provided after the yacht details, location, access and required scope have been reviewed.

The final quotation depends on the yacht’s specifications, age, construction, systems, location, accessibility, haul-out arrangements, sea-trial requirements and the final agreed inspection scope.
Your calculation remains in this browser session and is transferred to the enquiry form only when you request a quotation.

Why Can the Final Quotation Differ?
The calculator uses approved length- and scope-based pricing rules, but it cannot fully assess every feature that can affect the final work required:
- Vessel age
- Construction material
- Number and type of engines
- Unusual or complex systems
- Catamaran or multihull configuration
- Rig access
- Vessel accessibility
- Location and travel
- Marina and boatyard arrangements
- Specialist inspections
- Survey urgency
- Documentation requirements
- Vessel condition before inspection
