Request an independent marine surveyor for a yacht, fishing vessel, workboat or commercial assignment in Peru.

Survey types
One request, matched to the actual job

Evidence-led inspection following grounding, collision, water ingress, machinery failure or storm damage.

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.

Peru marine survey locations
Plan the survey around Peru’s coasts and waterways
Peru’s maritime activity stretches along a long Pacific coast, with separate inland operations on navigable rivers and lakes. Identify the capitanía, terminal, club, yard or landing rather than only the nearest city.
Callao & Lima coast
Separate club or leisure access from commercial-port and naval areas. Confirm passes, berth, lift and trial route.
Find a surveyor in this region →Paita & north coast
Fishing, energy and commercial facilities need port-agent coordination, secure access and a precise working window.
Find a surveyor in this region →Central fishing ports
State the harbour or yard, vessel type, local contact and available lifting or slipway arrangement.
Find a surveyor in this region →Southern ports
Long road or air travel and industrial-port permissions should be priced separately.
Find a surveyor in this region →Amazon & Lake Titicaca
River and lake surveys are separate travel assignments. Identify the landing, yard, vessel mobility and safe ashore access.

Before you appoint a marine surveyor
What details are needed for a Peru marine survey?
Provide vessel particulars, exact port, club, yard, river or lake, survey purpose and deadline, local contact, report recipient and any haul-out, trial or specialist requirement.
Is a private survey a DICAPI inspection?
No. DICAPI is Peru’s maritime authority and administers vessel registration, supervision, inspection and certification. A private buyer, insurer, lender or owner survey is separate.
Does DICAPI cover rivers and lakes?
Yes. DICAPI’s authority extends to maritime, navigable river and lake areas. The relevant captaincy must confirm any official procedure.
Can a surveyor travel to northern, southern or inland Peru?
Potentially. Flights, long road journeys, launches, accommodation and repeat attendance should be priced for the exact location.
How does Pacific weather affect a survey?
Swell, fog, port closures and local wind can affect boarding, lift and trials. The inspection plan should include a safe contingency.
Are agent, travel and yard costs included?
Only if stated. Agents, passes, travel, lift or slipway, wash, relaunch, skipper and testing can be separate.
Can you help with fishing and commercial vessels?
Potentially. Fishing vessels, damage, machinery, cargo and on-hire or off-hire work require suitable experience and any DICAPI, flag, class or client acceptance.
