We are privileged, honoured and humbled with your interest in our services.
Maybe you are eying a boat to purchase for you or someone else? Or, you are already an boat or a yacht owner needing thorough survey of your princess. Perhaps you are insurance company dealing with claims in need of proper post-damage or pre-insurance survey?
You are in a right place.
O.R.I. stands for "Objective", "Reliable" and "Independent", meaning that the survey of the boat or yacht you require will be professional, honest and true.
Word of a warning: You might even be disappointed with the SURVEY report. The boat of your dreams may turn out to be not so glamorous under the decks and in the bilges, after all. But, you will be armed with information, and that information will help you make an educated decision and maybe even negotiate the price with the seller. It's worth it because, as the old saying goes, a bad boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into.
Smooth seas and fair winds!
Contact UsWhat is a Marine Survey and why should you get one?
Buying a boat can be a significant investment. For this reason, getting a Condition and Valuation Survey before purchasing really makes sense. If you are financing your purchase, it might even be a requirement.
O.R.I. Surveys perform inspections of vessels of all types including pleasure craft, tugboats, fishing boats, barges, dredgers, cargo vessels and more for the purpose of pre-purchase evaluation, insurance eligibility, insurance claim resolution and regulation compliance.
What is a Boat Survey / Yacht Survey?
Basically, it is a detailed inspection of a boat done by a qualified, diligent, intelligent and honest surveyor, for the purpose of determining its current condition and seaworthiness.
In particular, to determine if the vessel is safe to use in conditions for which it was designed, and what maintenance and repairs are required, or are likely to be required in the near future.
The marine survey may be requested by your insurance provider or financial underwriters to help determine the vessel’s condition and valuation.
Our servicesWhy do I need a Marine Survey?
The marine survey determines if your boat meets safety criteria set forth by the administration. The findings uncovered by a Marine Surveyor will determine the true value of the subject vessel and is often used as a negotiation tool.
Buying a marine survey is buying peace of mind. It will give a better idea of exactly what you are getting into with your boat purchase, and help you learn what will be necessary to maintain the vessel in the future to keep you and your family safe, and your investment secure.
In addition, you might not be able to secure insurance or financing without providing the insurance company or lender with an acceptable survey, so you might as well make the survey a condition of purchase to begin with.
