Know Before
You Go.
Independent inspections for charter guests who expect more than a brochure.
We assess safety systems, crew readiness, and guest experience standards — so you board with facts, not promises.
Three ways to charter with confidence.

Browse Yacht DirectoryPre-Charter Inspection
Found a yacht you like? Request an independent inspection before you sign. Our qualified inspectors verify safety systems, physical condition, crew readiness, and guest experience standards — so you step aboard knowing exactly what awaits.
Request an InspectionPre-Voyage Readiness Check
Already signed? A readiness check confirms everything is prepared for your trip — provisioning, crew briefing, safety equipment, and guest-area condition verified days before you board.
Request a Readiness CheckWhat our inspectors look for.
Every charter yacht looks perfect in photos. Our inspectors go aboard to check what the brochure leaves out — expired safety certificates, undertrained crew, deferred maintenance, and the small details that separate a safe, well-run vessel from one that merely looks the part.
Beyond safety and maintenance, we assess the guest experience: service standards, cabin readiness, privacy arrangements, and whether the onboard reality will match what you were promised.
You receive a detailed report with photographic evidence and clear recommendations — use it to negotiate, request fixes, or simply confirm your booking with confidence.
Three steps to peace of mind.

What your report looks like.

Full reports include photographic evidence and detailed assessments for each area.
Charter brochures sell a dream. An independent inspection tells you whether the reality matches — expired certificates, deferred maintenance, crew gaps, or whether the guest experience will actually match what you were promised.
