YOUR INDEPENDENT ADVISOR BEFORE YOU SIGN — AND BEFORE YOU TAKE DELIVERY

Purchasing a yacht is one of the most significant investments you will make. Without an independent technical assessment, hidden defects, undisclosed maintenance gaps and incomplete documentation can turn an exciting acquisition into a costly liability. AZ Hellas provides thorough pre-purchase consulting that goes beyond a standard survey — combining technical expertise, Azimut-specific knowledge and hands-on sea trial coordination to give you a complete picture of the vessel before you sign. At the pre-delivery stage, we verify that every agreed work has been completed to specification and that the yacht is ready for use. When a detailed digital model is needed for complex planned upgrades, our team can also arrange specialised 3D scanning services to support accurate planning and refit works.

FAQs for aftersales services

It is valuable for both. For pre-owned yachts, the focus is on technical condition, ownership history and documentation. For new yachts, consulting helps buyers evaluate build specifications, options, contractual terms and delivery conditions — ensuring that what is delivered matches exactly what was agreed and that no items have been overlooked before handover.

As early as possible in the process, and ideally before signing any purchase agreement. Engaging early allows enough time for proper due diligence and a thorough technical and documentary evaluation of the yacht.

If significant issues come to light, we help you understand their practical implications and support you in discussions with the seller regarding repairs, price adjustments or other appropriate solutions. You retain full right to walk away if the findings do not meet the agreed standards.

Yes. We strongly recommend engaging a qualified independent marine surveyor, particularly for pre-owned yachts. Our consulting covers the broader acquisition — technical evaluation, ownership structure, operational costs and purchase strategy. A marine survey provides a formal, certifiable assessment of the vessel's physical condition. The two are complementary, not interchangeable.
