Yacht surveys wherever the vessel lies.
You are in one country, the yacht is in another. Nansen Holt has a vetted surveyor where she lies: one contact, one report standard and one price logic, for insurers, buyers and owners.
You are here. The yacht is there.
A Swedish buyer looks at a yacht in Germany. A British owner needs a surveyor in Greece. A Spanish buyer finds a boat in the Netherlands. A claims handler in Hamburg has a loss in Croatia.
Finding a surveyor who is qualified, independent and available in another country takes days, and too often ends with someone booking a flight. Nansen Holt closes that gap. You send one email, in English or German, to claims@nansenholt.com or through our request form. One of our affiliated surveyors near the vessel attends, working to our method and report templates. We review the report and deliver it to you in English, in one consistent format.

What you get
One vetted network
Our affiliated surveyors are not booked ad hoc. Each one is vetted by us before the first instruction and works to the Nansen Holt method.
One report standard
Every report follows the Nansen Holt template for its survey type: findings with photographs, assessment, repair method and cost estimate, in English.
One point of contact and one price logic
We coordinate attendance and timeline. One rate card worldwide; where local costs are higher, a regional surcharge is stated before we instruct.
Surveys we coordinate
Damage surveys. Cause, extent, repair method and cost after an incident.
Desktop reviews and second opinions. For repaired, sunk or small claims, and checks of other surveyors' reports and yard quotes.
Remote surveys. The owner or yard holds the camera while our surveyor guides the inspection by live video.
AIS investigation surveys. Where the vessel was and how she moved at the time of loss.
Expert opinions in disputes. Neutral, documented assessments for law firms and owners.
Pre-purchase surveys. Buying a yacht abroad? See For Buyers.
Condition and valuation surveys. For underwriting, renewals, insured values and finance.
Repair supervision and owner's representation. Someone on your side at the yard. See For Owners.
MCA coding, tonnage and flag inspections. For charter and commercial use.
