They use detailed and well known industry standards to fully report on the factual state of the yacht at the time of survey. Engaging a surveyor reduces risk and financial loss when purchasing and contributes to a better understanding of the condition of the yacht. Hiring a surveyor with knowledge and a diploma in surveying reduces the risk that standards and procedures will not be respected. It is important to note that the Surveyor acts in accordance with the client's instructions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-2521\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse2521\" aria-controls=\"collapse2521\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> How much do you charge for a yacht survey?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse spcollapse\" id=\"collapse2521\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-252\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-2521\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p>Basically, the price for the survey depends on lots of factors and scope of the survey. For example, the charge for the most common yacht survey (Pre-purchase) is calculated by formula in Euros: Length(feet) x Beam(feet) x complexity factor. Complexity factor range is from 1 to 2 and depends on the complexity of the yacht and its equipment.
