SurveyYat works in three areas: survey, delivery and consultancy. The list below shows which service answers which situation, because what people look for is usually not the name of a service but the answer to a problem.
1. Survey

4. Where to Start
| Your situation | Where to begin |
|---|---|
| Thinking of buying, no candidate yet | Buyer's representation, it starts with defining the need |
| Torn between three boats | Remote appraisal |
| Decided on one boat | Pre-purchase survey |
| Hold a report and unsure about it | Second opinion |
| Selling the boat | Pre-sale condition survey |
| Insurer wants a report | Condition survey, we confirm the scope with them first |
| New boat about to be handed over | Pre-delivery inspection |
| Planning a refit | Technical specification, then quotation review |

| The boat has to move | Delivery services |
| Damage has occurred | Independent damage survey |
| Several boats and no overview | Fleet condition monitoring |
5. Fees
On every service the fee is given in writing before anything starts. For survey and delivery you can see an estimate yourself with the online calculators; consultancy is priced as a fixed fee by scope. We do not take a percentage of the boat's price, that creates an incentive to recommend expensive boats.
