Pricing

The cost of an IPA by a MIA surveyor

MIA Marine Technicians have agreed discounted fixed fees for IPAs. The cost of an IPA depends upon the size of the boat to be inspected. An inspection is arranged by the broker selling the boat, upon the instructions of the owner, who will appoint a MIA Marine Technician local to the boat. The owner pays the Marine Technician direct for the IPA.

MIA fees for IPAs are as follows:

Up to 40 feet:   £149 plus VAT (or where applicable, USD/Euros)
41 to 60 feet:    £199 plus VAT (or where applicable, USD/Euros)
61+ feet:            £249 plus VAT (or where applicable, USD/Euros)

MIA fees are monitored by the Association to ensure that they remain competitive and represent real value for money. Mileage maybe charged.

Broker & Marine Technician Testimonials

IPAs are a tremendous tool when marketing a boat for sale. They help an interested buyer get a clearer idea about a boat they are interested in, which accelerates the entire sale and purchase process. IPAs can give a boat a real edge in a busy marketplace!

Wendy Barker Boatshed Yacht Broker

Over 15 years of selling used boats across the world has shown me that transparency and providing accurate, clear, comprehensive information is the key to finding the right buyer for the right boat, quickly and at the right price. IPAs are an important development in the second-hand yacht and motor boat market, which will make life much easier for sellers and buyers.
