Pre-Insurance

Conditions and general conduct of the expertise

  • This survey cannot be considered as a complete pre-purchase survey. There is no systematic examination of the living structures, the rigging and the sails (for sailing boats). The engine(s) are checked by a simple start-up test. Instruments and equipment are simply listed but not systematically tested.

  • Duration: 2 to 3 hours

    The survey of your vessel is an ideal time to carry out a really thorough check of the hull and equipment. It may therefore be useful to opt for a complete “pre-purchase” type survey. (Polyester sailboat survey)
    In this case there will be an exhaustive check of all the equipment, a masthead climb (for sailing boats) and a complete check-up of the engine(s).
