GS Marine Surveys provides independent pre-purchase, insurance, damage, valuation and hull/UTM surveys for recreational and commercial vessels throughout Ireland and the UK. Our methodology follows ISO 12215 and 12217, ABYC standards and MCA Workboat Code ensuring every report is detailed, defensible and accepted by insurers, brokers and lenders.
Boat insurance surveys are professional inspections assessing a vessel's safety, condition, and value for insurers, identifying structural/mechanical flaws to determine insurability, set premiums, and protect owners from costly hidden issues, often required for older boats or when buying/renewing policies. A surveyor thoroughly checks the hull, systems (electrical, fuel, plumbing), and safety gear, providing a detailed report with repair recommendations and valuation
A valuation survey provides an independent, professional assessment of your vessel’s current market value. Our surveyors evaluate the boat’s age, condition, equipment, maintenance history, and comparable market data to produce an accurate and unbiased valuation. Whether required for insurance, finance, or sale purposes, our detailed reports give you reliable documentation of your boat’s true worth and help support informed decisions with confidence.
A pre-purchase marine survey provides a comprehensive assessment of a vessel’s condition, helping buyers make informed decisions before committing to a purchase. Our surveyors conduct detailed inspections of the hull, structure, mechanical systems, electrical installations, and safety equipment, identifying any defects, maintenance issues, or compliance concerns. The resulting report gives you a clear picture of the boat’s true condition and fair market value—ensuring peace of mind and protecting your investment before you buy.
A damage survey investigates and documents the extent and cause of damage to a vessel following an incident such as grounding, collision, fire, or storm. Our surveyors conduct a thorough inspection to assess structural integrity, systems, and equipment, providing clear recommendations for repair and cost estimation. The resulting report supports insurance claims, repair planning, and liability assessments—ensuring an accurate, professional evaluation to help get your vessel safely back on the water.
A hull moisture level survey assesses the condition of your boat’s hull by measuring moisture content within the laminate or structure. Using advanced non-destructive testing equipment, our surveyors identify areas of elevated moisture that may indicate osmosis, delamination, or hidden damage. The survey helps determine the extent of any issues and guides effective maintenance or repair decisions—protecting your vessel’s integrity, performance, and long-term value.
A new build survey ensures your vessel is constructed to the highest standards from the very start. Our surveyors oversee every stage of the build process—from design review and material inspection to structural integrity checks and final sea trials—verifying compliance with relevant standards and specifications. By monitoring progress and quality throughout construction, we help ensure your new boat is delivered safely, on time, and built to last.
