Expert Inspections for Luxury and Performance Motor Yachts

At Stem to Stern Marine Surveying, LLC, we provide professional marine surveys on motor yachts of every size and style—from express cruisers to long-range trawlers. Our in-depth knowledge of yacht construction, propulsion systems, and onboard amenities allows us to deliver detailed, dependable survey reports that help you make confident ownership decisions.

Why Motor Yachts Require a Specialized Survey

Motor yachts are complex vessels that combine luxury accommodations with powerful propulsion and integrated systems. A proper survey must evaluate not only the hull and mechanical condition, but also the electrical, plumbing, and safety systems that make these boats function as floating homes.

Our motor yacht surveys include:

• Structural evaluation of hull, decks, and superstructure for osmosis, stress cracking, and moisture intrusion.

• Inspection of inboard propulsion systems—shafts, struts, rudders, exhaust, and cooling systems.

• Electrical and electronics testing, including helm instrumentation, navigation equipment, and generator systems.

• Review of onboard amenities—HVAC, freshwater systems, heads, galley equipment, and interior finishes.

• Safety equipment verification to ABYC® and USCG standards.

We go beyond surface checks to uncover issues that affect long-term performance, comfort, and resale value—providing the peace of mind you deserve when investing in a motor yacht.
