If you own a yacht and or are considering the purchase of a yacht you are going to have to deal with getting her surveyed. Even for those who think they can handle it themselves, you will find that you will be hard pressed to arrange financing as well as insurance without a survey by an accredited surveyor. Most of these guys and gals are truly conditional hull and systems surveyors they are not schooled in motors and other speciality systems that more and more yachts have on board. As well as, though required, they generally are not strong as value appraisers. You can find real estate appraisers, for that purpose, but not as a licensed function relative to yachts.
There are two professional societies one http://www.marinesurvey.org/ and the other is http://namsglobal.org/ Your broker or local knowledge generally will have references but please do remember you are hiring this party to provide you with a third party opinion that you will have to live with going forward so researching the possibilities of choices is worth your time.
I invite comments, experiences and the trade!! I am always happy to throw in my ideas!
