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.

Antiguan and Barbudan survey locations
Plan the survey around Antigua’s yacht centres and Barbuda access
Antigua has established yacht and refit facilities, while Barbuda is a separate travel assignment with more limited support. Confirm the precise berth, yard permissions, lift capacity, charter access and whether the work is private or must use an ADOMS-authorised route.
English Harbour & Falmouth
The main concentration of large yachts, brokerage and refit activity. Confirm marina or yard security, contractor access, lift dimensions and project stage.
Find a surveyor in this region →Jolly Harbour & west coast
A significant leisure-yacht and storage area. Arrange keys, canal or berth access, haul-out booking and authority for a sea trial.
Find a surveyor in this region →St John’s & north Antigua
Commercial, small-craft and leisure access varies by facility. Give the exact port or marina and confirm permission for an external surveyor.
Find a surveyor in this region →Barbuda
Treat Barbuda as a separate travel assignment. Weather, boat or air transfer and limited haul-out capability may require moving the vessel to Antigua.

Before you appoint a marine surveyor
What information is needed for an Antigua marine survey quote?
Provide the island, exact marina, yard or anchorage, vessel particulars, construction, purpose and date. Include charter access, haul-out, sea trial and any insurer, lender, registration or ADOMS requirement.
Can a charter yacht be surveyed between bookings?
Potentially, but the operator must release the vessel and provide records, keys and sufficient time. Haul-out, cleaning, sea trial and unrestricted systems access should be arranged before attendance.
Can a surveyor attend a yacht in Barbuda?
Potentially, subject to air or boat transfer, weather, safe access and the proposed inspection scope. A complete ashore survey may require moving the vessel to an Antiguan yard.
Who performs formal surveys for Antigua and Barbuda commercial yachts?
ADOMS states that commercial-yacht certification under the applicable codes is undertaken through its authorised route, including the International Yacht Bureau for defined yachts. Pleasure-yacht, domestic-craft and merchant-ship requirements differ.
Are island travel, haul-out and sea trial included?
Only when expressly included. Transfers, accommodation, yard fees, lift, wash, relaunch, skipper, fuel and specialist diagnostics can be separate.
Who appoints the marine surveyor?
The client appoints the independent surveyor directly and agrees scope, fee, timing and terms. Antigua Marine Survey provides information and introductions only.
Can you help with other specialist marine survey assignments?
Potential assignments include charter-yacht condition surveys, large-yacht refit supervision, storm & hurricane damage surveys, rig & mast inspections, engine diagnostics & oil analysis, moisture, osmosis & corrosion, sea trials & delivery acceptance, adoms commercial-yacht certification. Availability depends on the location, vessel and required specialist capability or formal appointment.
