The purpose of a damage survey is to assess the extent of damage to the vessel in the event of an accident. Other items typically included: recommended repairs, estimated repair cost and determining probable cause. Boat owners beware: when you file a damage claim, the surveyor assigned by the underwriter will represent the insurance company’s interest, which may or may not coincide with yours. here
This is the most comprehensive assessment a vessel will likely receive. A condition and value survey (C&V) provides clients with an informed, professional opinion of a vessel’s condition and fair market value. It includes an in-depth visual inspection of structural integrity, safety equipment, and all other miscellaneous onboard system s (electrical, propulsion, sanitation, potable water, navigation, etc.) as well as an out-of-water hull inspection and test run (aka sea trial).
Most boat owners will require a marine survey at some point, which can be conducted for any number of reasons. You can inspect your boat and do your own survey, but when it comes to insurance or resale, only a professional survey report is acceptable.
In many cases and depending on the surveyor, the content and scope of a typical insurance survey’s written report is very similar to that of a C&V survey and provides detailed vessel information, discrepancies, and recommendations. The biggest difference is that, in some cases (typically policy renewal for an established client), underwriters will accept an “in-water” survey. Some surveyors see failure to haul and fully inspect the hull and equipment below the waterline as a liability both to them and the best interest of the client. As such, they may decline to conduct a survey (insurance or otherwise) where the vessel is not hauled for inspection.
Owners have the right to hire their own surveyor to inspect the damage and make recommendations as to repair methods and cost estimates. Depending on the policy, underwriters may even pay for this independent surveyor subject to deductibles and the validity of the claim. more
