We offer pre-purchase and general condition yacht surveys and narrowboat surveys at competitive rates.

“There are very few boats in existence that do not suffer from defects of some kind, and some might say that indeed all boats have defects. Faults vary from the superficial to the serious of course, but not all are easy to identify or rectify.

There are many different categories of fault such as mechanical damage, design faults, safety hazards, corrosion, osmosis, wear and decay. A depressingly common but avoidable category is incompetent maintenance and workmanship.

It is the job of the yacht surveyor to correctly identify these faults, make recommendations for repair if required and generally establish the overall condition of the vessel.” James Wightman-Smith BEng (Hons) PhD GMRINA

Using both the latest techniques and the traditional methods to establish the condition of a vessel, we provide a thorough and professional service.

We acknowledge codes of practice prescribed by relevant professional bodies.
