KEEP CALM YOU’RE BEING SURVEYED
With a full understanding of the responsibility of this service, WOSA offers various types of surveys to protect our clients’ investment. Our dedicated team of surveyors brings extensive experience in both power and sailing yachts.
Our Survey Office is based in Monaco, with our primary operational focus spanning Italy, Monaco, and the South of France. To safeguard our clients’ interests worldwide, we offer our yacht survey services with equal efficiency across the globe.
We provide honest, objective analyses and professional reports that include practical recommendations, solutions, and estimated costs to effectively address any identified issues. Over the years, we’ve developed thorough procedures ensuring our surveyors check every aspect of the vessel to get a full understanding of its real condition.
This approach ensures that our clients are well- informed and prepared to make educated decisions before purchasing a second-hand yacht or during its construction or refit.
SOFTWARE SOLUTION
Access and monitor the vessel's progress with WYSR (WOSA Yacht Surveyor) software.
We have developed our own cloud-based software called WYSR (WOSA Yacht Surveyor). This system enables us to capture surveys and deliver reports in English and Italian with exceptional speed and efficiency, all while maintaining our high-quality standards. The software also allows the shipyard, contractors, and client to access and monitor the vessel's progress.
WOSA actively surveys yachts during the construction phases in all of the major Italian shipyards. This has provided us with specialized expertise in Italian brands and has allowed us to develop effective procedures for achieving a quality product in challenging environments.
