Yacht Survey in Istanbul

Where surveys take place in Istanbul

We work at every marina and boatyard in the area. The places boats most often lie:

• Ataköy Marina

  Bakırköy, European side · Travel lift

  Haul-out

• West İstanbul Marina

  Beylikdüzü, European side · Hard standing

  Haul-out

• Setur Kalamış ve Fenerbahçe Marina

  Kadıköy, Asian side · Travel lift and hard standing

  Haul-out

• Viaport Marina

  Tuzla, Asian side · Travel lift and large hard standing

  Haul-out

The distance between the two shores drives the plan: the survey date follows the marina and the haul-out booking. The yard fee is paid to the yard and is not part of the survey fee.

How the survey runs

1. 1The boat's make and model, length and marina are sent over; fee and date are agreed.
2. 2The haul-out for the hull survey is booked with the yard. Moisture readings need the hull to dry for 24-48 hours after washing.
3. 3Ashore: hull, keel, skin fittings and propeller. On board: engine room, electrics, deck, rig and interior.
4. 4On the sea trial the engine is run at full load and through the rev range with the diagnostic tool connected.
5. 5The written report is delivered the day the field work ends; each finding carries an urgency grade and an estimated cost range.

Fee

A pre-purchase survey is charged on length: €26/ft plus VAT. The calculator estimates the travel item for Istanbul at €350; the exact figure is stated in the quote. Example: a 40 ft sailing yacht (0-5 years) comes to €1,390 plus VAT.

Haul-out, washing and relaunch are paid to the yard and are not part of the survey fee. For an estimate by type and age, use the fee calculator.
