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.

Focused inspections for rigging, machinery, composites, steel, aluminium and other specialist scopes.

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.

Romania marine survey locations
Plan the survey around Romania’s coasts and waterways
Romania combines Black Sea marinas and yards with the Danube, delta channels and inland-waterway locations. State the precise berth, navigation area, lift or slipway, trial route and whether a harbour master or Romanian Naval Authority inspection is involved.
Constanța & Mamaia
Leisure berths, commercial port areas and nearby yards have different access rules. Confirm security permission, haul-out facility, pressure washing and a Black Sea trial window.
Find a surveyor in this region →Mangalia & south coast
Yacht and repair facilities should be named precisely. Confirm lift capacity, shore power or system-test access and whether the vessel can safely leave harbour for trials.
Find a surveyor in this region →Danube Delta & Tulcea
Delta attendance can require boat transfers and careful access planning. Give the exact village or facility, vessel draft, local transport and whether inspection equipment can reach the craft.
Find a surveyor in this region →Galați & Brăila
River, commercial and shipyard assignments require clear permission and scope. Confirm yard contact, access times, afloat or ashore status and the intended trial area.
Find a surveyor in this region →Lower Danube ports
Long travel distances and varying local facilities make the exact port essential. Confirm slipway or lift arrangements and any navigation or border requirements affecting access.

Before you appoint a marine surveyor
What information is needed for a Romania marine survey quote?
Provide the exact Black Sea marina, yard, Danube port or delta location, vessel particulars, survey purpose and preferred date. Include navigation area, launch status, haul-out and trial access, report language and any insurer, lender, registry or Romanian authority requirement.
Is a private pre-purchase survey the same as a Romanian technical inspection?
No. An independent condition survey for a buyer is separate from official inspection and certification. The Romanian Naval Authority publishes that it performs inspections on recreational craft and manages vessel registration and records through its harbour master offices.
What is required before registering a pleasure craft under the Romanian flag?
Romanian Naval Authority guidance states that an initial technical inspection is required before registration and identifies harbour masters, captain’s offices or technical inspectorates as the inspection route. Confirm the current vessel category, documents and inspection location directly with the Authority.
Can one surveyor cover both the Black Sea and Danube?
Potentially, subject to location and travel. Constanța or Mangalia, the Danube Delta and inland river ports are separate assignments with different access, haul-out and navigation conditions.
Can I request an English-language report?
Yes, include English in the request. Confirm the final language, recipient, reliance rights and whether Romanian forms or translations are required for official use.
Are travel, haul-out and sea-trial costs included?
Only when expressly included in the surveyor’s written quotation. Road or boat travel, 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, stability-related work, accident investigation, marine warranty and commercial handover surveys require a suitably experienced specialist and any necessary formal appointment.
