Saint-Tropez Yacht Surveyors

ACP Surveyors is an independent yacht surveying company servicing Saint-Tropez and the surrounding gulf, one of the most iconic yachting destinations on the French Riviera. From the historic Vieux Port in the heart of the village to the marinas of Port Grimaud, Cogolin, Sainte-Maxime and the anchorages of Pampelonne, Saint-Tropez attracts an exceptional concentration of motor and sailing yachts throughout the season. Our surveyors provide the utmost quality of service to owners and prospective owners across this prestigious stretch of coast.

The Gulf of Saint-Tropez is a demanding operational environment during the summer months, with limited berthing, intense traffic and a compressed calendar in which surveys, haul-outs and sea trials must be arranged with precision. Our strong network in the region contributes to a smooth process, allowing us to coordinate shipyard visits, time out of the water and sea trials efficiently with the owner, captain and management team. This local presence ensures that a survey in Saint-Tropez is delivered without unnecessary delay, even at the height of the season.

Our multidisciplinary experts provide the full range of ACP services in the Saint-Tropez area, including pre-purchase and condition surveys, valuation surveys for banks and insurers, damage inspections, underwater hull inspections and non-destructive testing, thermal imaging, and paint and coating inspections. Because every discipline is executed in-house, owners receive a single, consistent standard of reporting supported by concise commentary and clear photographic evidence, with no reliance on subcontracted specialists.

Yachts based on the Côte d’Azur are exposed to intense summer sunlight, warm saline Mediterranean water and heavy seasonal use, all of which place particular stress on coatings, teak, seals, cooling systems and structural elements. Our surveyors understand precisely how these factors affect a vessel over time and know where to look for the early indications of corrosion, moisture ingress, coating breakdown and system fatigue. This regional knowledge allows us to give owners a realistic and substantiated picture of a yacht’s true condition.

For buyers, our role is to provide transactional clarity. We deliver a comprehensive technical description of the yacht, highlight the areas requiring attention, and propose constructive resolutions so that brokers, lawyers and prospective owners can bring a transaction to completion with confidence. For existing owners, we support refit and maintenance planning, warranty surveys, insurance and finance valuations and statutory compliance, drawing on a twenty-year database built from hundreds of surveys, new builds and refit projects.

Every attendance in Saint-Tropez is carried out with the independence and rigour that define ACP. Our surveyors combine extensive marine engineering experience with advanced diagnostic equipment and an uncompromising, super partes ethos. With no external commercial interests, our sole obligation is to the accuracy of our findings and to the client who commissioned the work. Positioned within easy reach of Cannes, Antibes, Monaco and the wider Riviera, our team is ideally placed to serve the Saint-Tropez fleet to the highest standard.
