“ War mir beim Verkauf meiner Hanse eine grosse Unterstützung.. Ich bin froh dass ich ihn hatte.. Danke Vinko.. ” Michael Christ Hanse 385

“ Vinko has done the pre-purchasing survey for my Sunseeker Manhattan 60 in Croatia. I was impressed by the meticulous method of work and the careful analysis performed during the process that I ended up inviting him to follow all the refitting works done until last March. I am pleased with the final result! Vinko is a great professional! Joao Alvim ” Joao Alvim Sunseeker Manhattan 60

“ Vinko hat mich über Wochen fachkundig, besonnen und freundschaftlich bei der Suche begleitet und durch seine Unterstützung war dieser Kauf so entspannt, professionell und sorglos wie keiner zuvor! Vielen Dank und herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland. Sebastian Christmann ” Sebastian Christmann Princess 385

“ Da es für mich der erste Bootskauf war, eine Nauticat 35, war mir eine externe Expertise sehr wichtig. Vinko hat alle Erwartungen erfüllt, hat mir alle Schritte erklärt und mich sehr gut beraten. Besten Dank dafür. Gerne wieder. ” Helmut Lef Nauticat 35

“ Herr Sekso hat uns beim Kauf unseres ersten Bootes profesionell unterstützt. Da wir uns mit Botten nicht so gut auskennen, waren seine Begutachtungen und die Gespräche nhand der gemachten Bilder sehr hilfreich. Wir konten uns sehr gut ein Bild vom Zustand er Boote machen und die nötigen Investitionen einzuschätzen. Er hat für uns insgesammt 4 Boote begutachtet und mit seiner Expertise geholfen uns für unser erstes Boot (Princess 412-2) zu entscheiden. Auch nach dem Kauf stand er immer für einen guten Rat zur erfügung. Wir sind mit seiner Leistung sehr zufrieden. Pozdrav Mikulovic ” Dzo Mikulovic Princess 412

“ Die Begutachtung am Rigg, sowie am Mast meiner Segelyacht, durch die Firma Vinko Sekso, wurde zügig und zur Zufriedenheit erledigt und mit Bildern dokumentiert. Bei gegebenem Anlass werde ich diese Firma wieder beauftragen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Wolfgang Limberg ” Wolfgang Limberg Taswell 58

“ Vinko hat mich bei zwei Besichtigungen begleitet und ich war sehr zufrieden. Eine gute Beratung und gute Fachkenntnisse haben mich bei beiden Schiffen überzeugt. Das Erste Schiff habe ich dank seiner Aufdeckung von vielen Mängeln auch nicht gekauft. Herr Sekso hat sich auch durch ein teilweise aggressives Verhalten des Verkäufers nicht beeinflussen lassen. Das zweite Schiff, eine Absolute 43 Fly, habe ich dann, nach seiner Begutachtung gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Viel Erfolg und bestimmt mal auf ein Bier in Vodice. VG M. Goerke ” Mike Goerke Absolute 43

“ Hi Vinko, Thank you for everything. I am very pleased for the survey service you have given me. Many thanx and see you iPhone'umdan gönderildi A.Fuat Yorulmaz ” Ali Fuat Yorulmaz Dufour 385

“ Durch einen glücklichen Zufall bin ich im Sommer 2021 auf die Website von Herrn Sekso gestoßen. Die Zusammenarbeit war vom ersten Telefonat bis zum endgültigen Kauf meiner beiden Boote einfach nur großartig und für mich sehr lehrreich. Herzlichen Dank Vinko! Gerne bis zum nächsten mal. 5 Sterne Liebe Grüße Olaf Diestelhorst ” Olaf Diestelhorst Bavaria 38 und 40s

“ Lieber Vinko, herzlichen Dank für Deine Beratung zum Rigg und Allgemeinzustand bei meinem ersten Segelboot. Mit Deiner fachmännischen Unterstützung hatte und habe ich ein super Gefühl wenn ich auf meine „Sunny“ gehe. Deine Freundlichkeit, Ehrlichkeit und Zuverlässigkeit sind Weltklasse ***Alex, Sun Odyssey 36.2, Jezera***= ” Alex Mayer Sun Odyssey 36.2

“ Hallo Vinko, gerne darfst du unsere Erfahrungen veröffentlichen. „Vinko hat uns beim Kauf unseres neuen Schiffes wirklich sehr gut beraten. Nach der dritten Besichtigung ist es zum Kauf gekommen. Bei den ersten beiden Schiffen sind ihm Sachen aufgefallen, die wir wahrscheinlich nicht gesehen hätten. Die Erstbesichtigung des zweiten Schiffes erfolgte ohne uns, so dass wir uns direkt die Reise nach Kroatien sparen konnten. Er hat uns immer detailliert erklärt, warum er uns vom Kauf der ersten beiden Schiffe abgeraten und zum Kauf des dritten Schiffes geraten hat. Seine Kosten sind eine sehr gute Investition. Sollten wir wieder einmal ein neues Schiff kaufen wollen, werden wir garantiert seine Dienste wieder in Anspruch nehmen. Vielen Dank, Vinko!

Welcome to the O.R.I. Surveys home page!

We are privileged, honoured and humbled with your interest in our services..

Maybe you are eying a boat to purchase for you or someone else? Or, you are already an boat or a yacht owner needing thorough survey of your princess. Perhaps you are insurance company dealing with claims in need of proper post-damage or pre-insurance survey?

You are in a right place.

O.R.I. stands for "Objective", "Reliable" and "Independent", meaning that the survey of the boat or yacht you require will be professional, honest and true.

Word of a warning: You might even be disappointed with the SURVEY report. The boat of your dreams may turn out to be not so glamorous under the decks and in the bilges, after all. But, you will be armed with information, and that information will help you make an educated decision and maybe even negotiate the price with the seller. It's worth it because, as the old saying goes, a bad boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into.

Smooth seas and fair winds!

What is a Marine Survey and why should you get one?

Buying a boat can be a significant investment. For this reason, getting a Condition and Valuation Survey before purchasing really makes sense. If you are financing your purchase, it might even be a requirement.

O.R.I. Surveys perform inspections of vessels of all types including pleasure craft, tugboats, fishing boats, barges, dredgers, cargo vessels and more for the purpose of pre-purchase evaluation, insurance eligibility, insurance claim resolution and regulation compliance.

What is a Boat Survey / Yacht Survey?

Basically, it is a detailed inspection of a boat done by a qualified, diligent, intelligent and honest surveyor, for the purpose of determining its current condition and seaworthiness.

In particular, to determine if the vessel is safe to use in conditions for which it was designed, and what maintenance and repairs are required, or are likely to be required in the near future.

The marine survey may be requested by your insurance provider or financial underwriters to help determine the vessel’s condition and valuation.

Why do I need a Marine Survey?

The marine survey determines if your boat meets safety criteria set forth by the administration. The findings uncovered by a Marine Surveyor will determine the true value of the subject vessel and is often used as a negotiation tool.

Buying a marine survey is buying peace of mind. It will give a better idea of exactly what you are getting into with your boat purchase, and help you learn what will be necessary to maintain the vessel in the future to keep you and your family safe, and your investment secure.

In addition, you might not be able to secure insurance or financing without providing the insurance company or lender with an acceptable survey, so you might as well make the survey a condition of purchase to begin with.

Split Yacht Surveyors

Split, Croatia is an important hub in the yachting world due to its strategic location on the Adriatic Sea. The city is home to a large and modern marina that is able to accommodate a wide range of yachts, from small sailboats to luxury mega-yachts. The marina is well-equipped with all the necessary facilities and services that yachters might need, including fuel, water, electricity, and repair and maintenance services. Split is also a popular destination for yachters due to its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. The city is home to a number of ancient landmarks and historic sites, such as the Diocletian’s Palace, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The surrounding region is dotted with picturesque islands and islets that offer a wealth of opportunities for exploration and relaxation. In addition to its attractions as a destination, Split is also an important gateway to other parts of the Croatian coast and the wider Mediterranean region. The city is well-connected by air, land, and sea, making it an ideal starting point for yachting adventures. Overall, Split is a vital player in the yachting world due to its modern infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and strategic location. Whether you are a seasoned yachter or a newcomer to the sport, Split has something to offer for everyone.

A yacht survey in Split, Croatia is an essential procedure involving a comprehensive examination of the vessel to determine its condition and value. Typically, a professional marine surveyor with the requisite knowledge and training evaluates the yacht in this manner. The survey begins with a visual examination of the yacht, during which the surveyor will look for obvious signs of damage or deterioration. This entails inspecting the hull, decks, and superstructure for cracks, dents, and other flaws. In addition, the surveyor will inspect the yacht’s systems and equipment, including the engines, electrical systems, and navigational equipment, to ensure that they are in good working order. In addition to the visual inspection, the surveyor may employ specialized tools and equipment to evaluate the yacht’s condition. This may include moisture meters, ultrasonic thickness gauges, and other devices capable of detecting hidden issues or problems. The surveyor will provide a written report detailing the condition of the yacht and any suggested repairs or upgrades once the inspection is complete. The yacht owner can use this report to make informed decisions about the vessel and to negotiate the yacht’s price if it is being purchased or sold.

Timeline and Checklist

In the following you will find information on the process of a typical Pre Purchase Yachtsurvey as well as a checklist for the best possible organization of the inspection on site.

For a full scale survey inculiding sea trials, the whole process will usually take around two days for yachts of 40 feet length and larger.

TIMELINE OF A PRE PURCHASE SURVEY

Phase 1 hull inspection.

The inspection of the hull usually marks the start of the survey and, in addition to checking the underwater section, also includes checking all through-hull fittings as well as the steering and propulsion system.

If a moisture measurement shall be carried out, it is advisable to store the boat on dry dock for at least 3 to 4 days in advance in order to ensure plausible readings.

PHASE 2 DECK & SUPERSTRUCTURE

The next step is to inspect the deck and the superstructure as well as all hardware in these areas – from the anchor gear to the navigation lights to the railing.

In this phase, special attention is also paid to the hull-deck connection, as this part represents a particularly critical function for the structural integrity of a boat.

PHASE 3 ENGINE AND STRUCTURE

Now we get to HULLthe heart of every boat: the machinery including the associated peripherals.

All structural components such as stringers and bulkheads are also checked during this phase.

PHASE 4 INTERIOR AND COMFORT SYSTEMS

The next step is the inspection of the entire interior as well as all comfort and cockpit systems.

If desired, a thermographic inspection of the electrical equipment (switchboard, etc…) can also be carried out in this phase.

PHASE 5 SEA TRIAL

If up to this point it has been ensured that the boat is seaworthy, the sea trial follows. A detailed schedule of different maneuvers (such as “back-down” test and “wide open throttle test”) is defined with the skipper to ensure that all critical systems are loaded accordingly in order to check their proper function.

Of course, the schedule can differ slightly from this order depending on the individual situation on site. As a rule, however, this procedure has proven itself very practicable as it allows possible defects and suspicious factors to be identified in advance and then to pay special attention to them during the stresses of the sea trial.

CHECKLIST FOR THE SURVEY

In order to ensure a smooth process for everyone involved, please find below a list of all organizational matters that need to be clarified in advance of the survey. Of course, we are happy to support you with all these steps.

Obtain the owner’s consent for the survey

Ensure insurance coverage, skipper and crew*, schedule the haul, remove covers, ensure access and documents.

*) Note: It makes sense to start with the inspection of the hull on dry dock and putting the boat back to water for the test drive at the end of day 1 or the beginning of day 2. Should an external skipper be required, he or she is ideally available in the morning of day 2.
