Expert, clear and in-depth yacht surveys
New Build Projects
Build Monitoring & Inspection Services
For many yacht owners, having an independent expert overseeing the new build yacht construction or refit of their luxury yacht or superyacht provides invaluable peace of mind. Our meticulous yacht surveys, including boat survey and superyacht inspections, ensure that your yacht is built to the highest standards, meeting both your expectations and the agreed specifications.
Global Experience & Expertise
We have been involved in marine surveying services with leading shipyards across Europe and beyond, including: Baglietto, San Lorenzo, Riva, Ferretti, Sunseeker, Sunreef, and many more.
Our Inspection Process
Specification & General Arrangement Review
Upon request, we can begin by reviewing the full specifications and general arrangement (GA) of your yacht. This early-stage involvement helps ensure that the vessel is equipped for safe operation, efficiency, and maximum enjoyment.
Monthly Shipyard Visits & Survey Log
Throughout the build, we conduct monthly yacht survey inspections at the shipyard, compiling a detailed survey log of any items requiring rectification. These visits also provide opportunities for design modifications to enhance the final product. Many of our recommendations have been adopted by shipyards for future builds.
Monthly Reports & Owner Updates
We provide comprehensive monthly reports to the owner and their team, ensuring full transparency on the project’s progress and highlighting any concerns that require attention.
Specification Compliance & Quality Control
A key focus of our monitoring is to ensure that the final build aligns with the agreed specifications. This helps prevent the common issue of an owner receiving a yacht that does not fully meet their expectations.
Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)
The build monitoring process typically concludes with a full PDI, ensuring the yacht is completed to the highest standards before handover.
Financial Representation & Milestone Oversight
We also offer financial representation, overseeing key stage payment milestones such as: ✔ Specification Agreement ✔ Keel Laying ✔ Machinery Installation ✔ Deck Joining Completion ✔ Final Handover
This ensures financial security and that payments align with the build’s actual progress.
