As a surveyor in the Ionian, I see the same five issues over and over—here’s a quick checklist to help you avoid surprises: 1) Osmotic blistering — soft gelcoat and clouded paint; repairs can run into thousands. 2) Keel and grounding damage — look for uneven soles and hull scrapes; structural fixes are costly. 3) Engine cooling problems — overheating, reduced power; early corrosion checks save major bills. 4) Electrical corrosion — flickering systems and poor charging; replacement wiring is expensive. 5) Through-hull fittings and seacocks — leaks or stiffness; immediate attention prevents flooding. A professional survey identifies these early, helps with insurer requirements, and protects resale value. Want a tailored checklist for your boat?

When a survey reads like a technical manual, deals stall. I turn complex findings into a one-paragraph buyer summary and a clear valuation snapshot so you can negotiate faster and get insurance paperwork ready. Recent Preveza and Lefkada surveys typically trimmed repair estimates and clarified market value within 48 hours, helping buyers secure better loan terms and insurance quotes.

When a survey reads like a puzzle, negotiations stall and insurers hesitate. I turn complex inspection data into plain-English conclusions that buyers, insurers and lenders actually use. For example: a technical note might list corrosion depth and stress points; my recommendation explains whether the hull is safe to sail now, what repairs are essential, and how those fixes affect insurance and loan terms. Steven Truss saw deals move faster after receiving our clear report — insurers accepted the findings and lenders approved loans with confidence. Want negotiation-ready clarity for your yacht?

We just completed a detailed condition survey in the Ionian Islands — and the findings mattered. I inspected hull delamination, corroded thru-hulls, hidden water ingress in cabinetry, and an underreported electrical fault that would have voided insurance. With 3,700+ vessels surveyed, I’ve seen how these issues change negotiations and protect buyers from costly surprises. A professional survey isn't an extra expense — it’s an investment that preserves value and ensures insurance eligibility. Read the full case and learn how we can help: https://wix.to/NeFNjv4 ⚓️🔍
