List of Yacht Surveyors working in the Ionian Islands

 I will be working in the Ionian Islands for a week from the 18th January 2021 Surveying three Yachts. Do you require a 'Walk Through Survey' when I am in Lefkada, Preveza and Nidri? 

This type of 'Walk Through Survey' is normally commissioned by a prospective purchaser of a vessel to determine her General Condition and Market value based on strictly defined assumptions. Because this type of inspection is brief and defects are not investigated or defined, caveats are included in the report. I can also take some high definition video of machinery and systems often overlooked by the Yacht Broker. 

Information about the Ionian Area

Consisting of seven islands in the Ionian Sea, the Ionian Islands are Corfu, Paxi, Lefkas, Kefallonia, Ithaki, Zakynthos, and Kythira. Kythira is the most available island, especially if you are traveling from Peloponnese to the islands. Among these seven islands there are many yachts for sale. If you are looking to buy a yacht in Greece, there really is no more beautiful spot that the Ionian Area.

Ionian Marinas

Lefkas Marina, situated on the island of Lefkas, in the town of Lefkas, is a natural spot for many owners. It is surrounded by crystal blue waters, and as the marina continues to grow, there are more and more places for yacht sales. The area is connected to Athens by a bridge, making it easier than ever to buy a yacht and keep it in Lefkas while living in Athens. Plus, around the island, there is plenty of open water, perfect for trying out your new yacht.

Corfu, while still close to mainland Greece, allows the enthusiastic yachtsman plenty of room to roam, as well as plenty of places to let down his anchor. The Gouvia Marina is ideally situated for accommodating live aboard yachts. The marina now provides a seaplane services, which links not only the islands together, but also the islands to mainland Greece.

Igoumenitsa has the greatest number of yachts for sale, and lies opposite Corfu across the bay. This port, along with several other ports, is part of the ferry route to Italy. This village and Sagiada to the north are frequented by Corfu yachters on day trips.

Preveza and Aktio have the longest breadth of yacht facilities in the area. The ports are close to the airports, and the boatyards themselves have a number of yachts for sale. 

Another popular region in the Ionian area is the Nidri and Vlicho, just a few kilometers south of Lefkas. It provides plenty of boatyard room for live-aboard patrons, charter boats, and those looking to buy or sell a yacht.

Thinking of buying a boat in Greece and want peace of mind?



The main reason for having a pre-purchase survey carried out is to make sure you are buying your dream and not your nightmare. Making sure you are paying the right price, supplying your insurance company with the required info and giving you the peace of mind to enjoy your investment. 

We offer you this service by not only supplying you with a detailed written report but also by understanding (especially if you are a first time buyer) that you need our support and friendly advice during the purchase period.

The pre-purchase survey is one the most extensive of surveys and a good surveyor has to systematically go through each part of the vessel  knowing what to look for and how to determine if there is a fault. It requires years of practical knowledge around boats and the skills learnt in the trade to carry out the work.
 
We pride ourselves in offering this service and delivering  a clear and concise report in a timely and friendly manner.
