Prepare for your survey

Prepare for your survey

Just like any sailing journey, it all starts with a check list.

*If applicable, you will need to make arrangements with the marina to haul the vessel for bottom inspection, and retain a captain for sea trials. Legato Maritime can assist with this.

Haul-out fees are separate from the cost of the marine survey.
