Yacht Insurance Survey - Marine Survey for Insurance

Insurance Survey 

When you want to insure a boat, or have to renew an existing policy, your insurance company will need an Insurance Survey in order to determine its insurability for the intended use. This type of survey is often referred to as a Condition and Valuation Survey. The scope of an Insurance Survey approaches a Pre-Purchase Survey, but its focus is on structural integrity and safety and it is less detailed. An assessment of the boat's Fair Market Value is part of this type of survey. 



An Insurance Survey requires several hours, depending on the complexity and condition of the boat. My survey report is similar to a report for a Pre-Purchase Survey, but somewhat less detailed.

Pre-Purchase survey / Insurance Survey in Leros Marina Greece


Im back in Leros for a few days to carry out another local Pre-Purchase Survey on this Gibsea 38 Ketch. Lots of boats ashore because of the Covid and travel restriction's! 

Leros is one of the Dodecanese Islands in the South East Aegean Sea. It is famed for its deep, secluded natural bays, mountainous scenery and history rooted in its role as a key medieval port. Its marina is set against a massive cliff 50m high to the north east of the Lakki Natural Harbour. It offers a dry dock area for 800 yachts, yacht maintenance and 24 hour security. 

Dutch steel- what can you say! 

Todays Survey. 1979 Gibsea and still sailing! 

An extension on my old boat at 50ft - Grand Banks.....what a beauty!  

Still here this Old Girl, built in Wroxam, all wood. My first Survey in Greece! What a shame. 

Quick ferry stop in Agathanisi - just 200 locals!!


Leros..... dont miss it for a stop over....

Pre-Purchase Condition Survey on Gibsea 38ft Ketch - UK Yacht Surveyor working in Greece

Im on my way to Leros for a few days to carry out another local Pre-Purchase Survey. Leros is one of the Dodecanese Islands in the South East Aegean Sea.

Pre-Purchase Survey on this Classic Oyster 46ft Ketch in the Ionian / Preveza / Lefkada Greece.

Designed by Holman and Pye, the HP46 was Oysters first deck saloon yacht, the large opening saloon windows allowed light to flood into the accommodation, transforming the traditional saloon into a light, bright and inviting place to be. The deck saloon went on to revolutionise cruising yacht design.

A high volume, safe, seaworthy cruising yacht with a generous accommodation plan, twenty-five HP46s were launched between 1981 and 1990. She is a proven circumnavigator, with many variations to the deck layout, and accommodation layout. Early examples were rigged as ketches as this example, while later examples were sloops.






Strange times with so many Yachts out on the hard. Lets all hope for a better season next year!

Yacht Survey in the Ionian on this Beneteau

I was back Surveying this Beneteau Oceanis 423 Yacht in the Ionian today at Cleopatra's Yard in Preveza. Strange to see so many boats on the Hard this time of year. 

Strange times! 


These production built boats get a good review generally. The hull is hand-laid solid fiberglass with a vinylester barrier coat. The hull and structural hull liner are bonded using polyester adhesive. The deck is balsa cored.


She has plainly benefited from the copious experience of both its builders and her designer. And she also benefits from being an ideal size. She's a big 42-footer: You can fit her out with everything you could possibly need for cruising, and put a hard dinghy or RIB on the foredeck to boot!
