The Standard C & V survey addresses all of the components of a Pre-Purchase survey, but is intended to determine the general condition and value of a vessel, for the purpose of satisfying insurance and finance requirements.

In addition to evaluating the condition of the vessel structure, systems, and equipment, this inspection is intended to identify situations that can cause property damage or personal injury, and to verify compliance with regulations.

The suitability for the intended service is evaluated. A recommendations list is provided and an objective estimated fair market value is provided. Haul out is recommended, but may not be required by insurers or financial institutions. (We recommend you check with your insurance and finance companies to ascertain if an in-water inspection meets their needs and to assure that they recognize and accept your chosen marine surveying company.)

Again, Fair Market and Replacement valuations are estimated through the use of appraisal guidebooks, open and closed access Internet services, comparable listing prices of vessels for sale, comparable survey values and comparable sale prices where available.
