Find the right marine surveyor for your boat in Israel
Request an independent surveyor for a yacht, small vessel or commercial assignment in Israel. Matching starts with the exact Mediterranean, Eilat or inland location, vessel length and use, controlled-access arrangements and whether the report is private or connected with an Administration of Shipping and Ports requirement.

Survey types
One request, matched to the actual job
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.
Insurance & valuation
Condition and market-value reporting shaped around the information your insurer or lender requests.
Request this surveyDamage & claims
Evidence-led inspection following grounding, collision, water ingress, machinery failure or storm damage.
Request this surveyTonnage & registration
Routing to a surveyor with the right appointment when a flag, registry or recognised organisation requires it.
Request this surveyRig, engine & specialist
Focused inspections for rigging, machinery, composites, steel, aluminium and other specialist scopes.
Request this surveyCommercial & coding
Survey support for commercial yachts, charter activity and code-compliance work where applicable.
Request this surveyHow it works
A practical route from request to inspection
The platform helps structure the enquiry and introduce suitable professionals. The selected surveyor remains responsible for agreeing scope, fee and terms with you.
Tell us about the yacht
Share the vessel, survey purpose, location, timing and any buyer or registry deadline.
We review the scope
We check geography, material, size, specialist needs and whether formal acceptance matters.
Receive a suitable introduction
Where available, we connect you with a surveyor whose stated capability fits the assignment.
Appoint independently
You compare the scope and terms, resolve conflicts and instruct the professional directly.
Important distinction
Professional membership is not automatic flag approval
For pre-purchase and condition work, competence, experience, insurance and independence are central. For tonnage, registration, coding or statutory work, the flag or accepting organisation may also require a specific appointment.

Israel marine survey locations
Plan the survey around Israel’s coasts and waterways
Israel’s survey locations include Mediterranean marinas and ports, Eilat on the Gulf of Aqaba and inland waters. Confirm the exact berth or yard, current access permission, vessel category, haul-out method, trial area and intended report recipient.
Haifa, Acre & north coast
Small-craft marina access and controlled commercial-port access are different. Identify the facility, local contact, security requirements and available lifting or repair support.
Find a surveyor in this region →Herzliya, Tel Aviv & Jaffa
Busy marina schedules can affect haul-out and sea trials. Confirm berth permission, lift window, pressure washing and whether specialist equipment may be used onsite.
Find a surveyor in this region →Ashdod & Ashkelon
Commercial, marina and industrial access must be separated. Provide the exact facility, authorised contact, vessel status and any safety induction requirements.
Find a surveyor in this region →Eilat & Gulf of Aqaba
Eilat is a separate long-distance assignment from the Mediterranean coast. Confirm travel, accommodation, haul-out capability and any border or controlled-area considerations.
Find a surveyor in this region →Inland waters
Inland and trailered craft may use ramps or clubs rather than full-service yards. State the launch or storage address, lifting method and whether a safe operational trial is possible.

Before you appoint a marine surveyor
What information is needed for an Israel marine survey quote?
Provide the exact marina, port, yard or inland location, vessel particulars, construction, survey purpose and preferred date. Include access contact, launch status, haul-out and trial arrangements, report language and any insurer, lender, registry or Administration of Shipping and Ports requirement.
Is a private pre-purchase survey the same as an Israeli vessel inspection?
No. An independent buyer’s condition survey is separate from official registration, licensing and fitness inspections performed within Israel’s Administration of Shipping and Ports system.
Which vessels are handled by Israel’s Small Vessels Department?
The Administration’s published description states that the division handles small vessels up to 24 metres used privately or commercially and carrying up to 15 persons. It performs initial and periodic fitness inspections as part of the official licensing system. Confirm the current category directly.
Can a private survey report replace a vessel licence or periodic inspection?
No. The Administration of Shipping and Ports maintains the Israeli Boats and Ships Registry and the Small Vessels Department handles vessel licences and inspections. A private report only serves the agreed client purpose unless the authority expressly accepts it.
Can one surveyor cover the Mediterranean coast and Eilat?
Potentially, subject to availability and travel. Eilat is geographically separate from Haifa, Herzliya or Ashdod and should be quoted as its own attendance with local access and haul-out details.
Are travel, security access, haul-out and sea-trial costs included?
Only when expressly included in the written quotation. Travel, accommodation, controlled-port access, lift, wash, relaunch, skipper, fuel and specialist testing can be separate.
Can you help with specialist marine survey assignments?
Potentially. Repair monitoring, sea trials, ultrasound, corrosion testing, stability-related work, accident investigation, marine warranty and commercial handover surveys require the right specialist and any necessary formal appointment.
