Sea Trials, Haul-Outs & Inspection Process

A marine survey can involve more than an inspection at the dock. Depending on the survey type and vessel, a haul-out can provide access to the underwater hull, running gear, through-hulls, and other components that cannot be adequately viewed while the vessel is afloat. A sea trial can provide additional information about vessel operation and onboard systems under operating conditions.

The pages below explain parts of the inspection process, including conducting a marine survey, sea-trial and haul-out considerations, and inspection-scope information. They are grouped here to make these process-oriented resources easier for buyers and owners to find.
