about exclusive resolution
Exclusive Resolution is a company founded by experienced engineers and maritime professionals, dedicated to delivering clear, honest, and direct technical guidance to clients for optimal efficiency.
Exclusive Resolution provides independent marine surveys conducted by engineers with decades of hands-on superyacht and commercial vessel experience. We go beyond visual inspection, combining deep technical knowledge with operational insight to give you a precise, unbiased picture of any vessel, anywhere in Australia and the Pacific.
A comprehensive engineering inspection before you commit to buying. We assess all major systems, structural condition, and compliance giving you clarity, confidence, and negotiating power.
Professional condition and valuation reports that meet the requirements of Australian and international marine underwriters. Structured, thorough, and delivered on time.
An in-depth technical review of a vessel already in your ownership or fleet. Ideal for refit planning, ownership transfer, or ongoing due diligence.
We review your vessel's PMS against manufacturer specifications, operational hours, and class requirements identifying gaps before they become compliance failures.
When significant repair, refit, or installation work is completed on your vessel, a warranty survey provides independent verification that the work meets contractual specifications, manufacturer standards, and operational requirements. Exclusive Resolution conducts engineering-led warranty surveys that protect owners from substandard workmanship and give yards and contractors the assurance of independent sign-off.
A technical survey goes beyond standard visual inspection — it's an engineering-led assessment of a vessel's systems, machinery, and operational readiness. Exclusive Resolution provides marine technical surveys for owners, managers, insurers, and legal teams who need a precise, expert-level evaluation of a vessel's technical condition and compliance status.
Not all marine surveys carry the same weight. A survey is only as valuable as the independence and technical depth behind it, and that's where the difference between a generalist inspector and an engineering led surveyor becomes critical. Exclusive Resolution operates with complete independence. We have no affiliations with brokers, yards, equipment suppliers, or management companies. Our only obligation is to give you an accurate, honest assessment of the vessel in front of us, whether that's good news or bad. Our surveyors bring decades of hands on superyacht and commercial vessel engineering experience to every inspection. We don't just identify problems, we understand what they mean operationally and financially. That's the difference between a report that lists observations and one that actually helps you make decisions. For owners, buyers, and insurers across Australia and the Pacific, independent means exactly that.
Q: Do I need a survey for boat insurance in Australia
Most Australian insurers require a survey for vessels over 10 years old, high-value vessels, or at policy renewal. Even where it's not mandatory, a current survey protects your position in the event of a claim. Check your policy schedule or ask your broker.
Q: How often should I get a marine survey
As a general guide, every 3-5 years for well-maintained vessels under 10 years old, every 2-3 years for vessels aged 10-20 years, and annually for older vessels or as required by your insurer.
Q: What's the difference between a pre-purchase survey and an insurance survey
A pre-purchase survey is a comprehensive engineering assessment covering all systems, structure, and compliance, designed to give a buyer the full picture before committing. An insurance survey is focused on condition, value, and risk for underwriting purposes. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
Q: Can you survey a vessel remotely
For certain assessments and advisory services, yes. However, a full survey requires physical attendance. We cover Australia and the Pacific and can discuss logistics for vessels in more remote locations.
Q: Do you survey all types of vessels
Our primary focus is superyachts, luxury motor vessels, and commercial craft. Contact us to discuss your specific vessel type and requirements.
