Before You Commit, Know What Questions to Ask
Buying a yacht often involves making decisions based on broker listings, photographs and limited information. Before investing further time or money, an independent review can help identify the areas that deserve closer attention.
The SVG Marine Yacht Purchase Review provides an experienced marine surveyor's perspective on the information available and helps you decide what to investigate next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to provide?
A yacht listing is the starting point. Previous surveys, service history, specifications, photographs and other relevant documentation can also be submitted if available.
Is this a yacht survey?
No. This is a remote advisory service based on the information available. It does not replace a physical inspection or pre-purchase survey.
Can you tell me whether I should buy the yacht?
The review will identify key risks and areas requiring further investigation. The objective is to help you make a better-informed decision rather than provide a guarantee regarding the yacht's condition.
What if I decide to proceed with a full survey?
SVG Marine can provide a separate quotation for a physical pre-purchase survey where appropriate.
How quickly will I receive the review?
The typical turnaround is within three working days, subject to the complexity and volume of information supplied.
