CONDITION AND VALUATION SURVEY
(CVS): Generally known as the insurance survey this is a
several hour inspection which estgablishes the basic condition and value
of the vessel, and is for underwriting purposes only.
YACHT LISTING / REPAIR SURVEY
(YLR): This inspection takes a bit longer than a CVS and the
intent is to find out everything that needs to be repaired on the
vessel, what is not functioning, what needs to be brought up to the
latest standards. etc. Owners use this survey to prepare for shipyard
overhauls. Listing brokers use this survey to prepare the vessel for
re-sale.
PRE-PURCHASE SURVEY (PPS): This
inspection takes about the same amount of time as the YLR, but is done
for the prospective buyer instead of the current owner. The purpose is
the same as the YLR with the added caveat that the b uyer intends to
discount the asking price by the value of the necessary repairs found by
the surveyor.
