At Marine Surveyor Perth a Pre-Purchase inspection is an extremely detailed survey. It will help you to assess the vessel value and functional condition before making a decision to purchase and settle the price. Our aim is to provide you with an accurate survey report, detailing every aspect of the vessel to ensure that your decision is well informed and in-line with the vessel condition and value. The survey report also includes recommendations from our professional marine surveyors. You may use this for a better price alteration based on repair recommendations provided by our experts. The recommendations will also help you to carry forward with future maintenance of the vessel after your purchase to ensure continued sea worthiness and safety for your intended use.

We will always suggest a sea trial of the vessel and inspection both in and out of the water. This is to ensure we can cover as many aspects of the vessels’ operation in our detailed report as we can. We also encourage the potential buyer to attend the sea trial with us.
