Marine Survey Rates & Pricing

At Hirst Marine Surveyors, we believe in transparent, upfront pricing for every vessel we inspect. Below you'll find our standard rates for pre-purchase surveys, insurance surveys, and damage assessments covering production fiberglass vessels throughout Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and the wider British Virgin Islands.

Most rates are calculated per foot or per hour, with a minimum fee to cover the time and travel required to properly assess any vessel. Larger vessels, non-standard construction, or inspections to be performed outside the BVI are quoted individually.
