Why Surveyyat

Four things that matter.

🔒
Fully Independent

No commercial relationship with any yard, broker, or supplier. Our only obligation is to the client who retains us.

🏛
ABYC Professional Member

Internationally recognised standard, accepted by major flag states and insurers worldwide.

📍
Bodrum-Based

Permanent local presence with 15 years of yard relationships in Bodrum, Marmaris, and Göcek.

📖
Radical Transparency

Every finding reported, regardless of how it affects the transaction. We do not soften conclusions to preserve relationships.

"

"The marine industry is structured around relationships. Yards, brokers, and agents share commercial interests. We are structured differently."

Surveyyat works for one party: you. We take no commission from yards, suppliers, or brokers. In 15 years of working inside Turkish boatyards, we have seen what happens when no independent authority is present: timber substitutions, specification drift, structural shortcuts. Our clients pay us to prevent exactly this.
