Insurance & Valuation Survey

A focused condition & valuation report that keeps your underwriter satisfied, your coverage current, and your declared value defensible. Accepted by every major marine insurer.

When you need one

Insurers ask for a survey for good reason.

Most marine underwriters require a current survey every two to five years — and almost always when a vessel changes hands, ages past a threshold, or after any significant claim.

A C&V survey confirms the vessel is seaworthy, properly maintained, and worth what it's insured for. An outdated or inflated valuation is the single most common reason a claim gets delayed or reduced. Our reports are written in the precise format underwriters expect, so your coverage stays uninterrupted and your settlement is fair.

Did you know?

Many owners are under-insured after a refit raises value — or over-insured, paying premiums on a value the market no longer supports. A fresh valuation corrects both.

What we assess

Scope of a C&V survey

Structural condition

Hull, deck, and superstructure integrity, moisture intrusion, blistering, and the condition of underwater fittings and through-hulls.

Machinery & safety

Engine and generator condition, fuel systems, fire-suppression, bilge systems, and compliance with USCG and ABYC safety standards.

Fair market valuation

A defensible current market value based on comparable sales, condition, and equipment — the figure your hull policy should reflect.
