Costs and Fees
Is a survey an unnecessary expense on a second-hand boat?
The comparison settles it: a survey costs in the order of one per cent of the boat’s price, while a single item missed — osmosis repair, engine rebuild, keel joint — can reach a significant share of it.
Why it works this way
The report does more than show risk; it produces a concrete basis for negotiation. In most cases it pays for itself in the price conversation that follows.
