The Balearic Market: Beauty with Hidden Risks
Mallorca’s used yachts often hide fatigue from intense charter use, sun damage, and inconsistent upkeep. Without expert inspection, cosmetic shine can mask structural issues.
What a True “Technical” Survey Covers
Hull & Structure: Ultrasonic thickness measurements, osmotic blister detection, moisture mapping.
Propulsion & Drivetrain: Sea‑trial data logging, vibration testing.
Electrical & Electronic Systems: Megger testing, thermal‑imaging to locate hotspots.
Safety & Compliance: Flag‑state documentation review, life‑saving equipment audits.
More Than Just a Survey Report: Key Buyer Advantages
Stronger Negotiation: Identify and quantify repair needs, with average savings of ~15%.
Total Peace of Mind: Protect your family and guests offshore.
Insurance & Financing: A formal survey speeds insurer approval and loan underwriting.
