About Surveyyat

The only independent authority
inside Turkish boatyards.

We are an ABYC Professional Member marine surveyor and commission manager based permanently in Bodrum. We hold no commercial relationship with any yard, broker, or supplier. Our only obligation is to the client who retains us.

Who We Are

15 years. One principle.

Surveyyat was founded on a single observation: buyers commissioning or purchasing wooden yachts in Turkey had no genuinely independent authority working on their behalf. Yards, brokers, agents, and even well-intentioned advisors all had commercial relationships that coloured their advice.

We exist to fill that gap. We are based in Bodrum year-round — not visiting surveyors who fly in for a day. We have 15 years of direct relationships with the yards, craftsmen, and material suppliers in the Bodrum–Marmaris corridor.

That knowledge is available exclusively to our clients — because we are paid by our clients and answer only to them.
