Most boats in Ayvalık berth at Setur Ayvalık Marina in town, and most haul-outs happen there too. Dikili, where we work from, is 24 miles away by sea; Ayvalık and Cunda are weekly work for us.

2. How a survey works at Setur Ayvalık
Boats are hauled with a 110-ton travel lift; the lift dock is 7.20 m wide, so the beam and weight of wide catamarans and heavy yachts are sent to the marina in writing before the booking. Hard standing is limited, so booking early shortens the process. Sea trials run inside the bay or in open water after the entrance channel, timed for daylight.
3. What we look at here
- Mooring-line wear: berthing is on laid moorings; chafe around the propeller, shaft and rudder and stress at the bow fittings are checked.
- North Aegean winter: water ingress at deck fittings, window seals and the mast step is looked for on boats left for long.

5. Planning and report
For a quote, send the model, year, length and whether the boat is ashore or afloat. The haul-out is booked around the marina's schedule; for reliable moisture readings the boat dries for at least a week ashore. The sea trial is run in open water off the marina, in the calmer morning hours. The photo report, with findings graded A-B-C, follows within 2-3 working days.
6. Fee
The fee at Setur Ayvalık comes from the same formula as our calculator: length in feet × €22.5, multiplied by the type and age factors. Setur Ayvalık is in our home area, so no travel charge is added. The figures below are for boats 6-15 years old, sea trial included, excluding VAT.
| Length | Sailing yacht | Motor yacht | Catamaran |
|---|---|---|---|

| 45 ft | €1,100 | €1,450 | €1,800 |

For boats 0-5 years old the fee is about 9 percent lower; over 15 years about 14 percent higher. A detailed engine inspection is an optional add-on (€400-750 per engine by size). Haul-out, slipway and crane charges follow the marina tariff and are listed separately. For your own boat: survey cost calculator; for a delivery from here: delivery cost calculator.
