When To Schedule Marine Survey
Services in Toronto

In Toronto, there are several good reasons to schedule a marine survey. The most common is when you’re buying a boat: Is it a solid investment, or will it end up costing more than you’re willing to spend? If you’re selling, a current survey can give potential buyers the confidence they need. Your insurance company may also require a survey for policy renewals, and financial institutions often need one before approving financing. Finally, if you find yourself dealing with major repairs, you may need a survey before launching again.

Before Purchasing a Boat

You wouldn’t buy a house without an inspection. The same goes for a boat. A thorough marine survey is a professional assessment that gives you a solid idea of the boats’ condition. It will let you know what repairs are needed immediately and which can be put off.

For Insurance Purposes

Depending on the age, condition and style of your boat - as well as your insurance company’s policies - an insurance company will need your boat surveyed periodically.

For Financing or Loan Approval

Often before a bank will offer financing, you will have to show evidence of a professional marine survey. Only then will they have an idea of the boat's actual value and approve or deny a loan.

Before Selling Your Boat

Getting a survey prior to selling your boat accomplishes two things. First, it will give you a good idea of the market value. But more importantly, it will give buyers a sense of comfort. This doesn’t mean they won’t get their own survey done. However, it may make your boat more appealing as a viewing option.

After a Major Repair or Refit

If you had to have your insurance company involved in a major repair, it is very likely they will need a marine survey done before they will agree to keep your insurance policy in effect.
