Yacht Damage Survey & Claims

When the worst happens, you need an independent expert in your corner. We provide forensic damage surveys that establish cause, scope, and fair value — and stand up to scrutiny from any insurer or court.

After an incident

Your insurer has a surveyor. You should too.

After a grounding, fire, collision, lightning strike, or storm, the insurance company's surveyor works for the insurer — not for you. An independent damage survey ensures your interests are represented and your settlement is fair.

Our forensic damage surveys document the full extent of the loss, establish the root cause where possible, and itemize the scope and cost of proper repair. We coordinate directly with your insurer, your yard, and — when needed — your attorney. Reports are written to be defensible in adjustment, arbitration, or litigation.

Time-sensitive

If you've had an incident, call us before authorizing major repairs. The vessel is evidence — documenting it accurately first protects your claim.
