2008 Beneteau 50.4 Cyclade for Sale and Yacht Survey Greece

Todays Yacht Survey assignment was in Lefkada, Ionian Islands, Greece this 2008 Beneteau 50.4 Cyclades Sloop for sale. 
Yes she's built in a production facility, probably quite quickly, but I was impressed overall compared to other production built yachts and pleasantly surprised how well she had been put together. They are highly sought-after this model and for a good reason. She features a very desirable, accommodating layout for a 50 footer. Perfect for charter in Greece!


Each cabin features its own head and shower. There is also a crew/storage/workshop way forward, accessed through a foredeck hatch. A spacious galley to port with ample fridge/freezer space and seating for 10+ around the dining table to starboard. 














Lots of power with this nice looking 110HP Yanmar diesel

Trying to sell your Yacht in Greece and need a Marine Survey to help?

Our Seller’s Survey assists the yacht owner or broker in gaining an independent insight into the condition of his yacht and protect his interests throughout the sales process. This will also enable the seller to address any issues found that would result in a negotiated reduction in price, all findings are totally confidential.

Stage 1: We inspect the vessel either in and/or out of the water with particular attention given to any aspects that may become potential issues during the sales process. The process can be as little as a walk through half day review of the vessel through to a full pre-purchase survey with sea trials.

Stage 2: We issue you with a confidential condition report including a market value if requested. Whilst the report is confidential we will allow the owner to use the report as part of the sales material.

Stage 3 (optional): If serious defects are found, we can arrange for the repairs before sales viewings commence, or manage the process at the shipyard for the owner at an extra cost. We can also return to inspect post repairs ensuring works are completed to a satisfactory standard if the owner chooses to manage works himself.


Stage 4: We attend all or part of the pre-purchase survey on the seller’s behalf to ensure that all procedures are carried out correctly and any findings or defects discovered are substantiated. 

Inventory Service: A full or partial inventory of the vessel’s equipment and interior furnishings can also be provided.

One Off Design Ymir 58 footer for Survey in Samos Greece

1992 Custom Aluminium Ketch for Survey today in Karlovasi Shipyard on Samos Island.



  This beautiful Ketch was built in 1992 to old plans at the German shipyard  Kühnemund,Schacht- Audorf in Schleswig-Holstein. She is a replica of a schooner that was used in Newfoundland in the 18th century to hunt alcohol smugglers!



Hull was 5mm alloy plate with paint coatings also recorded. Apparently the plating was used from an old aeroplane. 







Another rope caught up in this cutless bearing. The rudder will have to be removed to draw the shaft. Though durable, these bearings will need to be replaced to  avoid vibrations or, worse, shaft, log, or strut damage due to overheating.

Todays Marine Survey in Nidri Preveza

‘Glaros’ was originally built as a Caïque, (a traditional fishing boat) usually found among the waters of the Ionian or Aegean Sea. Today, this type of vessel, varying in size are popular for tourist charters. Caïques were built on the foreshore in a shipyard from pine wood. 





20 years ago the owner stripped her out for a major refit.





Nidri is full of wooden boats under repairs!
