Insurance surveys are done for people who need insurance on any watercraft.  Everyone needs insurance on their motor boat, jet ski, sailboat, houseboat, speedboat, performance boat, fishing boat, row boat or other vessel.  Surely we would be foolish today to boat without insurance.  

bulletAn insurance survey details the entire vessel it is essentially a "Condition and Valuations Survey".  A great emphasis is placed on safety during any survey done for insurance.  The safety of the vessels occupants is the most important consideration when surveying a vessel for insurance purposes.  The second most important consideration is the seaworthiness and condition of the vessel.  
bulletA price of the vessel is always obtained in an insurance survey.  The price the surveyor places on the vessel is generally what the vessel is insured for. 
bulletInsurance surveys are done when a purchaser buys a boat and also usually every 5 years.  When insurance companies are changed a survey is required.  The cost to update a survey generally less than an original survey and will depend on the vessel.
bulletAn insurance survey may also cost less than a purchase survey since compression testing of the vessel engine and oil analysis of the vessel engine and transmissions may not be needed.  Since many insurance surveys are requested by boat owners and not boat purchases.  A boat owner usually knows what is wrong or what may need fixing.  While a purchase survey will list every  defect in detail an insurance survey will not.

Insurance surveys are very comprehensive and generally consist of about 15 or more typewritten pages.   Our Insurance surveys will fulfill insurance company requirements and the requirement of finance company's. 

The cost of and insurance survey is generally on a per foot basis (LOA x present rate).   This rate is extended to all surveys conducted in the New York Long Island Metro area.  Please See the sections on Surveyors fees for a more detailed cost.  

See the section on What We Do for details on what this type of survey will encompass.
