Marine Surveys in the Event of Damage
Damage assessments for recreational boats and yachts are part of our daily business. Whether collision, fire, burglary, engine or gearbox damage, or material and construction defects – the technical and nautical analysis of incidents is one of our core competencies.
All findings are carefully documented, both in writing and photographically. Within our holistic approach, we assess not only the extent of the damage but also possible repair methods, including the expected costs. In addition, we analyze the cause of the damage and, where necessary, examine potential recourse claims.
For a well-founded and objective evaluation, we flexibly rely on our internal expertise as well as a proven network of external specialists. This ensures that each damage case is handled individually, efficiently, and with technical precision.
Overview of our services:
- Documentation of damage
- Evaluation of repair options and costs
- Determination of the cause of damage
- Nautical expert reports
- Short-form reports
- As well as other customized services
Non-Destructive Material Testing for Boats
The high quality standards in the construction and operation of sophisticated yachts require precise and reliable testing methods. ZUCKER & PARTNER continuously develops its technological capabilities for quality control, combining many years of expertise with state-of-the-art measurement technology.
Among other methods, we use proprietary laser measurement techniques for surveying rigs, hulls, and attachments. In addition, we employ thermography and ultrasonic testing, as well as contaminant analysis in interior areas. These non-destructive testing methods make it possible to detect material defects and damage at an early stage, minimize risks, and objectively verify quality standards.
Non-destructive material testing thus not only ensures safety during operation but also provides a reliable basis for decision-making in construction, refitting, maintenance, or the purchase of a yacht.

Maritime Claims Management
In the event of damage, fast and structured action is crucial. We offer straightforward and efficient support – from the initial response through to full settlement. A key component of our claims management is the immediate initiation of damage mitigation measures, such as salvage, preservation, drying, or comparable emergency actions.
We also handle the coordination and management of repairs, transfers, as well as the securing and enforcement of potential recourse claims. Our goal is to minimize consequential damage, accelerate processes, and make the entire claims process transparent and manageable for you.
Professional claims management is particularly essential in large and complex damage scenarios. Experience, clear processes, and a reliable international network are critical. We operate worldwide, including in cases involving high-value superyachts, ensuring that all measures are implemented professionally, efficiently, and in the client’s best interest.
Overview of our services:
- Organization of salvage operations
- Organization of damage mitigation, preservation, and drying
- Organization of fire restoration
- Organization and supervision of tendering procedures
- Monitoring and management of repair works
- Quality assurance
- As well as other customized services
