Survey types
One request, matched to the actual job
A pre-purchase inspection is not the same assignment as a tonnage measurement or commercial-code survey. We keep the scope clear from the beginning.
Insurance & valuation
Condition and market-value reporting shaped around the information your insurer or lender requests.
Request this surveyDamage & claims
Evidence-led inspection following grounding, collision, water ingress, machinery failure or storm damage.
Request this surveyTonnage & registration
Routing to a surveyor with the right appointment when a flag, registry or recognised organisation requires it.
Request this surveyRig, engine & specialist
Focused inspections for rigging, machinery, composites, steel, aluminium and other specialist scopes.
Request this surveyCommercial & coding
Survey support for commercial yachts, charter activity and code-compliance work where applicable.
Request this surveyHow it works
A practical route from request to inspection
The platform helps structure the enquiry and introduce suitable professionals. The selected surveyor remains responsible for agreeing scope, fee and terms with you.
Tell us about the yacht
Share the vessel, survey purpose, location, timing and any buyer or registry deadline.
We review the scope
We check geography, material, size, specialist needs and whether formal acceptance matters.
Receive a suitable introduction
Where available, we connect you with a surveyor whose stated capability fits the assignment.
Appoint independently
You compare the scope and terms, resolve conflicts and instruct the professional directly.
Important distinction
Professional membership is not automatic flag approval
For pre-purchase and condition work, competence, experience, insurance and independence are central. For tonnage, registration, coding or statutory work, the flag or accepting organisation may also require a specific appointment.

Vincentian survey locations
Plan the survey island by island across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The country’s yacht locations are separated by sea and have very different access and repair support. Name the exact island, berth or anchorage, tender arrangements, haul-out plan and whether the assignment is a private condition survey or formal SVG flag work.
Saint Vincent
The main island offers the broadest transport links. Confirm marina security, contractor access, haul-out location and whether travel onward to another island is required.
Find a surveyor in this region →Bequia
A distinct cruising and boat-service centre. Confirm tender access, the vessel’s presentation and whether the required lift or specialist equipment is available.
Find a surveyor in this region →Mustique & Canouan
Private-island and resort access must be arranged in advance. Include security permission, transport, accommodation and the proposed ashore-inspection location.
Find a surveyor in this region →Union Island & southern Grenadines
Remote-island work depends on weather, transfer and safe boarding. A complete survey may require moving the yacht to an island with suitable yard facilities.

Before you appoint a marine surveyor
What information is needed for an SVG marine survey quote?
Provide the exact island, marina, berth or anchorage, vessel particulars, construction, purpose and date. Include tender access, island transfers, haul-out, sea trial and any insurer, lender, SVG flag or commercial-yacht requirement.
Can one surveyor cover several Grenadine islands?
Potentially, but each island visit needs an agreed transfer, weather window, accommodation plan and access contact. Do not assume that one attendance or fee covers multiple islands.
Can any marine surveyor issue SVG statutory documents?
No. The SVG Maritime Administration publishes organisations authorised to issue statutory documents after satisfactory surveys. The correct authorised route depends on the vessel and certificate.
What is different about an SVG commercial-yacht survey?
The SVG Commercial Yacht Code specifies initial, annual and renewal surveys and an authorised certification route. A private pre-purchase or insurance report does not automatically replace that work.
Are island transfers, haul-out and sea trial included?
Only when expressly included. Flights, ferries or charter boats, accommodation, yard fees, lift, wash, relaunch, skipper, fuel and specialist testing can be separate.
Who appoints the marine surveyor?
The client appoints the independent surveyor and agrees scope, fee, timing, limitations and terms directly. Saint Vincent Marine Survey provides information and introductions only.
Can you help with other specialist marine survey assignments?
Potential assignments include charter-yacht condition surveys, inter-island delivery & sea trials, storm & hurricane damage surveys, rig & mast inspections, engine diagnostics & oil analysis, moisture, osmosis & corrosion, refit, repair & acceptance inspections, svg commercial-yacht & statutory work. Availability depends on the location, vessel and required specialist capability or formal appointment.
