Independent technical evidence
Yacht Surveyor in Turkey
Pre-purchase, condition, refit and construction survey support with a scope agreed for the yacht and the decision.
Direct answer
What does a yacht survey in Turkey cover?
A yacht survey is an independent technical examination defined for a specific purpose. A pre-purchase assignment may include available records, hull and deck, machinery and systems, safety equipment, accommodation, a haul-out inspection and sea trial when these are included and practically available.
The appointment should state the yacht, purpose, accessible areas, exclusions, specialist tests, attendance dates and report use. A visual condition survey is not a guarantee, class certificate, statutory inspection or legal valuation unless the engagement expressly appoints the qualified party for that work.
Service scope

Questions buyers and owners ask
Before appointing a specialist
Is a haul-out always included?
No. Haul-out must be available and expressly included. Without it, underwater hull, appendage and through-hull inspection is limited, and the report should state that limitation.
Does a survey include engine dismantling or laboratory testing?
Not unless specifically agreed. Invasive checks, oil analysis, ultrasound, coating tests, specialist engine diagnostics and similar work require a defined method and appropriately appointed specialist.
