Pre-purchase survey
Independent condition inspection before you commit, with defects, priorities and practical next steps.
Request this surveyRequest an independent marine surveyor in Grenada for a yacht purchase, insurance, valuation, damage or specialist assignment. Matching starts with St George’s, Prickly Bay, St David’s, Grenville or Carriacou, the exact marina or yard, island travel, haul-out capability and any Grenada registration requirement.
A pre-purchase inspection is not the same assignment as a tonnage measurement or commercial-code survey. We keep the scope clear from the beginning.

Potentially, but Carriacou is a separate travel assignment. Ferry or flight timing, accommodation, local transport, yard access and the surveyor’s availability must be agreed for the actual island.
Grenada’s Shipping Act requires a ship to be surveyed and measured before registration, while the Grenada Maritime Administration also identifies proof-of-survey requirements for defined vessels. Confirm the applicable certificate and appointed route before instruction.
An afloat inspection may be possible, but a complete assignment often needs reliable access, shore power and an ashore view of the underwater body. Agree tender and haul-out arrangements first.
Only when stated in writing. Ferry or air travel, accommodation, taxis, yard fees, lift, wash, relaunch, skipper, fuel and specialist diagnostics can be separate.
The client appoints and instructs the independent surveyor directly after agreeing scope, fee, timing and terms. Grenada Marine Survey provides information and introductions only.
Potential assignments include charter-fleet condition surveys, storm & hurricane damage surveys, island delivery & sea trials, rig & mast inspections, engine diagnostics & oil analysis, moisture, osmosis & corrosion, salvage, grounding & recovery inspection, grenada registration & tonnage work. Availability depends on the location, vessel and required specialist capability or formal appointment.
Select the country where the vessel is located, or send the exact port, marina or yard so the assignment can be reviewed.
Tell us the vessel, Grenadian location and reason for the survey. We can help clarify access and report requirements before you request an introduction.
