Our surveyor works for you. They will answer your questions and advise you throughout the process. Once you have chosen a boat, you can make an offer. If the seller accepts the offer, you can proceed with a Promise of Purchase and Sale Agreement of a pre-determined % deposit.

The boat is then given a "Sale Pending" status, and you are advised to visit it at this stage of the process and hire a professional surveyor to assess its condition. If the survey's outcome does not suit you, your deposit is returned in full.

If you accept the boat, the sale continues as outlined by the terms specified in the Promise of Purchase and Sale Agreement. A contract that specifies the closing date is signed by the seller. Note, before you sail her away, she must be registered in your name and insured. Brokers should advise you on the steps to follow. Pre-Purchase surveys ensure your vessel is inspected properly and the condition is known to ensure safety before purchasing it.

Find an Effective Provider of Boat Inspections in Brisbane

Boat owners may have a general idea about the need for boat inspections in Brisbane, but it’s not always easy to find a provider you can talk to.


Tips Regarding Boat Inspections in Brisbane


To get the most out of maritime inspections, find a surveyor who understands what is required.


  • Safety regulations are the core of any effective boat inspection. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority, or AMSA, and the BIA Boating Industry of Australia are applied in all applications.
  • Surveys should take place before purchasing a boat, as you must be careful of situations where the boat is not in a compromised condition.
  • The appraised value of a boat heavily influences insurance premiums and coverage. In addition to safety, our inspections can establish or confirm an estimated value for insurance purposes.


Common Mistakes People Make About Pre-Purchase Marine Surveys in Brisbane


The process of buying a boat is a long and arduous one, but if you get help from a qualified marine surveyor, you’ll simplify the process and improve on a facts based decision making process . They will help you decide on facts to avoid examples of issues below:


  • Waiting Too Long – If you delay on a survey inspection, you may commit to a purchase or pay a price before fully getting the measure of what you’re buying. Hire the help of a prompt Surveyor who can deliver informed results to minimise this risk.
  • Failing to Review Potential Repairs – Many boat purchases require some last-minute adjustments or fixes from the seller. Conducting a boat inspection before the purchase assists you in finding those needed repairs before negotiations conclude, so the seller has the time and opportunity to repair them.
  • Neglecting to Retain the Written Report – It’s essential to retain a copy of the written report for your records after the fact. This both serves as proof that the inspection was completed and an assessment of areas that may need attention soon, even if they are still functional in the meantime.


You can get the most benefit from your pre-purchase boat inspections by selecting a quality and dedicated inspector.
