ABOUT CROWLEY MARINE CONSULTING SURVEY

A consulting survey is a specialized inspection of a vessel with or without a report. Many times a potential buyer will find a listing for a vessel that is out of state or even in a different country from which they reside. In this case, a consultation survey may be the best option.

A consulting survey can be performed for a vessel at an hourly rate to establish if the vessel is indeed in the represented general condition reported by the seller or broker. In order to save the cost of a full Pre-Purchase survey, detailed photographs within an email with written descriptions of the general condition of the vessel will allow the potential buyer to know if this boat is worth pursuing.

Generally, just two hours of inspection are needed to establish the general condition of vessel. Hourly rates are worked out on a case by case basis.
