Yacht Survey, inspection and yacht haul out on 2019 Prestige 520 Flybridge. Before buying a yacht, it is wise to have a survey and inspection performed by accredited yacht surveyors. A yacht survey and inspection is a snapshot in time to provide the potential buyer insight into the current conditions of the yacht. The surveyors perform a check on all systems on the boat and even do a boat hull inspection to verify the condition of the vessel before purchase. Surveyors are independent and provide an unbiased opinion on the vessel and its systems.
In this video, we were helped out by two great marine surveyors and an excellent yacht captain. Below is how you can get ahold of each of them!

Its comforting to see the level of inspection that goes into these vessels. With the investment required to own one its good to know that the investment is being secured by such thorough reviews. Every day we're getting closer to our purchase and I look forward to following this part of the process.

@ElevateYacht 2 года назад

Yes I would have liked to get in their grill a little more while doing the under sides but I had some dealings with the Marina office and yard workers for other items. There will be plenty more surveys we are on to try and get a more detailed look at that side of it. Thank you for watching and for adding your input. I appreciate that!

Great video, judging the rain and combination with Florida, my guess is it must have been around 3 PM when you were on your way back. 😀 Btw, hammering on the hull does not damage the gel coat ? I would expect a rubber hammer instead.

@ElevateYacht 2 года назад

I think it was pretty close to that time, great call 🤣 I’m no surveyor, but my guess is rubber hammer wouldn’t produce the sounds they are looking for when checking for soft spots/blistering. The technical term for the hammer testing is “percussion testing”. While the sound you heard was loud, he wasn’t hitting the hull all that hard. The hammer he had was a phenolic hammer which is made specifically for fiberglass. Thank you for watching and for the great question! Cheers

@SProz69 Год назад

Should of discussed survey costs. That was probably a $3k exercise for the buyer. Necessary, but it’s important to understand.

@ElevateYacht Год назад

Good call. One reason I left cost out is because the costs can differ greatly depending on area and scope of a survey. Engine and mechanical survey can vary greatly from a standard basic inspection. Thank you for watching and for the great suggestion/input! Cheers 🙌🏼

Afternoon storms in Florida during the summer? Unheard of! Lol. Just kidding. I'm a true native Floridian and still live here. Marco Island is beautiful. I worked for a yacht owner as a deckhand back in the day when I worked on yachts. The last owner I ever worked for. He owned a Cheoy Lee 81' and lived on Marco Island. We drove the yachts tender to the yacht at the Marina and left from there. Ran the yacht himself and had a stewardess, a deckhand, cook and a co-captain for when he was off the boat. We never slept in crews quarters either. We slept in guest bedrooms. He was the coolest owner ever.

@ElevateYacht 2 года назад

Those are the good ones to find! Sounds like a sweet gig for sure. Cheoy Lee us a great boat too. Thank you for watching and sharing your story. Always cool to hear others backgrounds. Cheers!

@johnsonbar5022 7 месяцев назад

ill be looking at a Hunter 50 CCm new, at the factory and I'm wondering how do I arrange a survey and commissioning, using your services to accomplish that? Do I let you,or a service like yours, do all the contacts, make whatever arrangements with the factory while the boat is on the hard, or do I let a dealer take care of contacting you, the factory and so forth. Also, does the survey take place on the hard AND in the wather also?

What is the procedure for a buyer to ask for a refund from a loused up survey. Just purchase a boat in Fort Peirce. The surveyor missed the cutlass bearings and rudder shaft packing. Do Surveyors have errors and omissions insurance to cover things such as this?

@ElevateYacht 2 года назад

This is an incredible question. First, I’m very sorry to hear your experience. The boat buying process should be an exciting time and issues like this are unfortunate. I recommend going offline with this discussion and we can get into more detail and I can offer you some insights and experience we’ve had with these types of issues. In general, sadly, it all depends on the surveyor for insurance. Good ones do carry proper coverages but not many may not. If you have a proper contract, there should be some details within. I’d be happy to look over your contract and offer advice. Feel free to email me if you’d like. Again, I’m very sorry for your experience so far. I wish you luck. Thank you for watching and for the great question.

@tomsmith4416 2 года назад

Thank you for posting your videos, they are very informative. What length of boat would you recommend having a survey completed and what is the estimated cost to having a survey done?

@ElevateYacht 2 года назад

I don’t think there is a specific length of vessel that one would or wouldn’t survey. It’s a piece of mind thing. I think age of vessel comes into play and understanding what could need repair or work in the future. It’s like a home survey. They’ll tell you the roof may need replacing in two years. Doesn’t guarantee anything but just gives a snapshot of current conditions. I personally haven’t paid for a survey so I don’t know exact costs but I’d think for a vessel of this size in the video you’re looking around 2k for hull/systems survey. Not sure of engine surveyor cost. Thank you for watching and for the great question!

Perfectly timed question! I am flying out tomorrow morning to Cleveland to pick up a brand new U.S. debut vessel and drive her back to Chicago! It’s been a while since I’ve made a video so I plan to do a full on delivery video! Stay tuned! Thank you for watching and for the great question 🙌🏼

Ya no survey from the owner no deal As a buyer if you can’t understand a survey you shouldn’t be buying a boat There expensive to own there even more expensive to use

@christianwestling2019 2 года назад

Great video as per usual. Did it go via the Mississippi & the gulf from Chicago to Florida or via the lakes, Erie Canal & the east coast? How long does such a trip take? Sounds like a lot of fun :)

@ElevateYacht 2 года назад

Great question - this vessel was actually shipped over land on a semi trailer. But, if we were to bring it down to Florida on water, typically we’d go down the Illinois River to Mississippi River, into Ohio River then onto Cumberland River which takes you to Lake Barkley/Kentucky Lake. Then Tennessee River which becomes Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and leads to Mobile Bay. Wish I had started my channel in 2020. I took three yacht deliveries between Chicago and Florida. Missed out on some great content 🤣

As always, great perspectives Dan. I see that boat is still listed, did they buy the boat? Greg

@ElevateYacht 2 года назад

Closing date is next week. Survey came back good with only minor items like a burnt out bulb in fridge and so did oil samples. Once it’s officially closed, the listing is removed. When a vessel goes under contract, there are always things that can happen like financing falling through, so it’s never over til it’s over.

@christophermcdonald3280 Год назад

It really depends on the brokerage!.. The Capts ability and vessel.. I always bring MY mate along on seatrials. A single screw 38' trawler requires more work than a twin screw 52' SF as far as docking and handling.having "my guy" with me makes life easy..A typical survey like this has 5-7 on board, all have a job to do . I know, me personally, as Capt. I'm basically the "extra" guy when doing seatrials. My job is to run the vessel. Typically there's a mechanic/technician running diagnostics on the engines etc with me. My job is to leave the dock, run the vessel at speed, and dock it. Every form is different. My mechanic requests me. His priorities lie in the engine room not stick at the helm

@ElevateYacht Год назад

In general, this mainly comes down to the captain’s skill and experience. There isn’t a rule that states exact size or number of crew but of course you’d always want to be as safe as can be for the vessel, especially if it’s not your own. With that said, I am sure there are plenty of captains who can handle very large vessels on their own. I guess a lot would come down to the specifics of the docking set up too. Personally, with the right conditions (I wouldn’t risk single handing a large vessel in unsafe conditions), I would probably be comfortable with up to an 80’ vessel. As Christopher mentions below, the larger the vessel, typically the easier they are to handle and they usually will have some additional technology like thrusters which make docking easier. He’s very right about single screw boats being more work than others ha. We’ve all been there! Thank you for watching and for your great question! Cheers!

@@ElevateYacht Thanks for your answer! In my dreams I am piloting a Wally 118 on my own. It just seems like such a hassle to have to coordinate and plan around a crew so much.

I get what you’re saying and I know that feeling. Then again, if you’ve got a Wally 118, you deserve to kick back and relax and have a crew who does the hard/stressful work for you. There’s a point at which it’s nice to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor 😎

@BrawndoQC Год назад

40 is my sweet spot but I have a 50 now that I feel comfortable with, but if it was your first boat, would be intimidating. My 2 cents, ymmv. I don't have a fly bridge though.
