Professional Yacht Survey, Owner Representation, and Consultation

19/10/2026

What does a surveyor actually look at?

Quite a lot, and electrics are a good example. Here a distribution panel is being checked by torchlight: how circuits are laid out and labelled, the protective devices, and the wiring around them.

Untidy modifications or missing labels can say a good deal about a boat's history. Neat, well-labelled work usually makes faults easier to trace later.

You are welcome to attend a pre-purchase survey and see for yourself what we are looking at. The report is written in plain language, and it states the scope and any limits on access.

The underwater gear is impossible to judge from the pontoon.

When a vessel is out of the water, we can look properly at the parts that normally stay hidden: the propeller and shaft, the rudder, the through-hull fittings and the condition of the hull coating. Here the propeller, shaft bracket and rudder blade are all in clear view.

Whether a vessel is lifted for a survey depends on the type of survey, the vessel and the agreed scope of work. Where it is not, the report states what could not be seen, so you know what has and has not been assessed.

If you are buying a boat, it is worth asking early what the survey will include and whether a lift-out is part of it.

A yard visit during construction is very different from surveying a finished boat.

This is a deck structure in a covered shipyard, ahead of fit-out. At this stage access is at its best. Structure and moulded surfaces are open to view, before panels, linings and furniture close things in.

That is the case for independent new-build monitoring. Items raised while the build is still open are far easier to resolve than those found after the vessel is finished. What is reviewed on each visit depends on the stage of the build and the scope agreed with the owner.

If you are commissioning a new build in the UK or Europe and would like independent representation through construction, get in touch.

The engine room says a lot about how a boat has been run.

During a pre-purchase survey, machinery spaces are one of the areas where we spend the most time. We look at the general standard of installation and maintenance: hoses and clips, wiring and how it is supported, signs of leaks or past repairs, and the condition of safety equipment such as fixed fire-suppression systems.

How much can be seen depends on access, and every survey is carried out within the agreed scope of work. Where something cannot be reached or tested, the report says so, so you know what has and has not been assessed.

You are welcome to attend. It is often the best way to understand the vessel you are buying and to ask questions as we go.

If you are considering a purchase and would like to talk through what a survey involves, get in touch.

Planning to use your yacht for commercial charters in the UK or Europe? Navigating the latest regulations doesn't have to be a headache.

With the introduction of the new MCA 'Sport or Pleasure' Code, ensuring your vessel is compliant is essential for legal commercial operations. Whether you're operating a small commercial vessel or a larger yacht, we provide the expert oversight needed to get you certified.

As a Full Member of the IIMS & MCA coding examiner, SVG Marine offers comprehensive examinations and certification for vessels up to 24m LOA. We also handle coding surveys for Red Ensign jurisdictions including the BVI, Cayman Islands, and Gibraltar. Our deep understanding of these standards ensures your vessel meets all safety requirements, giving you and your insurers peace of mind.

Our goal is to streamline the compliance process so you can focus on your guests and the water ahead.

Ready to discuss your specific coding requirements? Get in touch with us today to ensure your vessel is fully compliant and ready for the season.

The surge in high-performance 'e-toys': from e-foils to electric tenders: has brought a new, often overlooked fire risk to the engine room and tender garage.

During our recent surveys, we’ve identified critical failures in charging setups where substandard connectors or insufficient ventilation have led to severe overheating. This melted component is a stark reminder of what happens when high-draw lithium charging meets a setup not designed for the load.

With the 2026 RMI Yacht Code now in play and stricter MCA MGN 681 guidelines, compliance is about more than paperwork; it’s about preventing a catastrophic lithium-ion fire at sea.

SVG Marine specialises in identifying these hidden hazards. As a Full Member of the IIMS & MCA coding examiner, we provide the expertise needed to ensure your vessel meets the latest safety standards and remains protected.

Seeing a 400-item snag list might feel like a headache, but it’s exactly what you want before signing off on your new build.

At SVG Marine, a long report isn't a sign of a bad boat: it's proof of a thorough survey. Our Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI) are designed to catch every detail, from minor cosmetic flaws to critical system checks, before the vessel leaves the shipyard.

By identifying these points early, we ensure that the shipyard handles the repairs under your initial agreement, saving you the stress of future warranty claims and downtime once you're out on the water. Whether it's a blue water catamaran or a luxury yacht, our goal is to ensure your investment is handed over in the best possible condition.

As a Full Member of the IIMS & MCA coding examiner, we bring over 15 years of industry expertise to every inspection across the UK & Europe.

Don't settle for a 'clean' report that misses the details. Get the peace of mind that comes with a truly comprehensive survey.

For more information or to book a PDI, contact us at [email protected].

High-performance multihulls are engineering marvels, but the real "gotchas" are often hidden beneath the surface.

In the world of catamaran new builds, structural integrity is everything. One of the most critical areas we inspect during our oversight projects across the UK and Europe is the structural tabbing and bonding.

For performance multihulls using vacuum-infused epoxy and carbon fiber, these secondary bonds are what hold the ship together under the immense stresses of blue water sailing. If the surface preparation or resin application isn't spot on, you risk structural fatigue or failure that might not appear until you're far offshore.

At SVG Marine, we provide expert oversight including monthly shipyard inspections to catch these issues before they’re hidden behind liners. As a Full Member of the IIMS & MCA coding examiner, we ensure your catamaran is built to the highest standards.

Don't wait until the handover to find out if your yacht was built right.

Email us at [email protected] to discuss how we can support your new build project.

Ever wondered why we ask for your yacht’s Load Line Length instead of just the LOA?

While Length Overall (LOA) tells you how much dock space you’ll need, Load Line Length is the technical measurement that actually dictates which regulations apply to your vessel.

For anyone looking at commercial coding in the UK or Europe, that 24-metre threshold is the big one. If your Load Line Length is under 24m, you fall under the Small Commercial Vessel Code. Step over that mark, and you’re looking at the much more stringent Large Yacht Code.

Getting this wrong during a survey or purchase can lead to unexpected compliance costs and registration headaches.

As a Full Member of the IIMS & MCA coding examiner, SVG Marine ensures these measurements are spot on from the start, whether you’re buying, selling, or coding for commercial use.

Confused about where your vessel sits? Drop us an email at [email protected] and let’s get it sorted.

Five months since the MCA 2025 Code took effect, we are seeing the first wave of real-world compliance challenges.

Since implementation in December, our inspections across the UK and Europe have highlighted several recurring failure points. Small technical details in safety systems that were acceptable under previous standards are now causing delays in certification.

As a Full Member of the IIMS & MCA coding examiner, SVG Marine provides the expert oversight needed to navigate these updated regulations. We focus on identifying these "red flags" early to ensure your vessel meets the new requirements without unnecessary downtime.

Ensure your vessel is fully compliant and ready for service. For expert guidance or to book a survey, please contact us via email.
