Detailed
inspections

We provide yacht surveys on sailing & motor yachts, commercial craft, sports boats and RIBs. The marine survey can be for purchase, insurance, valuation and damage assessment. With wide experience in yacht construction and maintaining boats, I provide a detailed opinion on the various repairs and upgrades possible when you are thinking of buying or restoring a yacht.
