Back to the original post, @Spark600 the surveyor doesn't need you there to do his or her job. In fact, they will probably focus more without you there. The advantage of being present is that you can learn from them, and you can see any issues first-hand.
If you can't attend, have them do the survey anyway. If there are any significant or concerning issues, you can schedule a follow-up trip to see them first had, and you will know what to look for based on the surveyors report. If you can't go today, just fly out over the weekend to look at anything significant. You might be able to pay the surveyor to come back for an hour and walk you through the main findings.
You want the boat, the broker wants to sell the boat, you can find a way to make it work.
