Installed systems inventory
Bridge, AV, IT, network, satcom, IPTV, lighting, and shades catalogued with manufacturer, model, firmware, and approximate install date.
Service
Pre-purchase AV/IT survey for superyachts.
An independent technology-domain survey for buyers and family offices acquiring an existing yacht — covering installed systems, end-of-life exposure, cybersecurity posture, and refit cost forecast.

The deliverables.
Each survey is scoped to the vessel and the level of seller cooperation. The deliverables below define what the buyer team can expect in the report.
Network and connectivity assessment
Topology, segmentation, satcom redundancy, guest and crew separation, and remote-access posture reviewed against current best practice.
End-of-life and obsolescence
Vendor support status, spares availability, and forced-replacement timelines flagged so capital exposure across the next refit cycle is visible.
Cybersecurity posture
Firewall, segmentation, OT/IT boundary, remote-access controls, and known CVE exposure reviewed against a defensible reference.
Documentation completeness
As-built drawings, network maps, commissioning records, credentials, and OEM agreements assessed for handover readiness.
Refit cost forecast
Prioritised list of remediation items and forced replacements with order-of-magnitude cost guidance, structured for inclusion in due-diligence reporting.
No installation revenue. We do not sell systems, take vendor commissions, or accept referral fees from any integrator.
Buyer-side by design. The report is commissioned by, paid for by, and delivered to the buyer team. The seller and broker see only what the buyer chooses to share.

FAQ
Common questions.
- What does a yacht AV/IT pre-purchase survey cover?
- Installed systems inventory, network and connectivity assessment, end-of-life flagging, cybersecurity posture, documentation completeness, and a refit cost forecast — produced for the buyer team as part of pre-completion due diligence.
- Is the survey conducted on-site or from documents?
- Both formats are offered. On-site is preferred where logistics and seller cooperation permit. Remote desk reviews are conducted where they do not — using specifications, network maps, commissioning records, and crew interviews.
- How is this different from a marine surveyor or class assessment?
- A marine surveyor assesses hull, mechanical, and structural condition. A class society confirms regulatory compliance. The AV/IT pre-purchase survey is the technology-domain equivalent — it covers what a marine surveyor and class assessment do not.
- Can you produce a refit cost forecast?
- Yes. Findings are translated into a prioritised remediation list with order-of-magnitude cost guidance, structured for inclusion in due-diligence reporting and refit budget planning.
- How long does a pre-purchase AV/IT survey take?
- A scoped survey typically runs two to four weeks from access granted to report delivery, depending on vessel size, the cooperativeness of the seller team, and whether the engagement is on-site or remote.
- Does the seller see the report?
- No. The report is delivered exclusively to the buyer team and is shared with the seller or broker only at the buyer's discretion. All engagements are conducted under NDA.
