RATES   (Effective 01/01/2007)

 

 

 

Condition & Valuation Survey fees, up to 59 feet LOA as measured, and include platforms, davits and anchor housings that project beyond the hull measurement. 

A 15% surcharge is made for multi-hulls or vessels older then 10 years.

 

Finance, Insurance, Customs & IRS Valuation Surveys & Reports are charged at an hourly rate, again with a 15% multiplier if multi-hull or over 10 years old. These are relatively truncated surveys

 

A separate qualified marine engineer should survey all engines and out drives on pre-purchase surveys.

 

Up mast rigging survey:  A separate dedicated inspection of the rig, sails and sail handling gear is recommended on all pre-purchase surveys.  We have a rigging surveyor on hand should the survey terms call for inspection aloft. Charges are based on $200.00/hour, or part thereof.  Minimum 2 hours.

 

Otherwise, spars and rigging are normally surveyed from deck level only. 

 

Diving Surveys: If accepted by your insurance company, $400.00/hour, or part thereof. 

 

It is strongly recommended that the vessel be dry-docked for a buyer’s condition survey.  Docking arrangements and charges are the responsibility of the party ordering the survey.

 

Ultrasonic audio gauge for thickness testing, moisture meter, crack testing and tank moisture content measuring equipment is carried.  Charges for these services are quoted separately, and based on 200.00/hour, including production of the report. 

 

Cancellation fee:  In order to cover lost business, a $250.00 fee is charged for surveys cancelled after the appointment to survey has been made.  If cancelled during survey, minimum survey charges based on fees laid out above are charged. Appointments may be adjusted by mutual agreement prior to survey day.

 

Weather bound: If weather conditions prevent conclusion of surveys already underway, we are prepared to adjust costs, by mutual agreement, to cover extra time and travel expenses, etc.

 

The survey is completed when, in the opinion of the surveyor, it is finished, and not before.

 

Survey Reports will normally be issued within 72 hours of the survey’s completion.  Audio gauge and underwater Survey Reports may take longer, depending on size and conditions.

 

A full appraisal Survey & Report will be given at the rates quoted above.  There is a 25% surcharge for preparation of a Presentation File.

 

Time and travel expenses:

 

SE Florida: Outside a 10 mile radius of the Fort Lauderdale Office, charged at 0.60/mile.

EXPENSES: Outside SE Florida, a $1500.00 per day deposit is required, prior to the surveyor leaving town.  This is to cover suitable fares, accommodation, ground transportation and all associated expenses. 

 

Foreign travel: A 10% surcharge against these expenses is charged to cover foreign currency/credit card conversions.

 

The person(s) or party paying the survey fee is deemed the sole possessor of the Survey Report, and this Company will not issue copies of the Report without the permission of the above.  Therefore, agreeable arrangements to purchase Survey Reports should be made with the owner of the report..

 

The Company will, at all times, conduct a survey to comply with the good practices of marine surveying, offering an unprejudiced report of findings as revealed by the survey. 

 

Project Management & Other Services: by negotiation.

 

Payment in full:  MasterCard and Visa accepted at close of survey and before the report is issued.  Other arrangements can be made by agreement.
