Pre-Purchase Survey

Buying a boat is a big decision. I'll give you a thorough, independent inspection and a plain-English report so you know exactly what you're getting and what it's really worth.

Damage Assessment

If something's gone wrong, I'll assess the damage accurately and provide a clear report to support your insurance claim or help you understand your next steps.

Consultation

Not sure where to start with a repair, refit or project? I'll draw on 20 years of hands-on experience to give you practical, independent advice with no agenda.

Not a company. Just me.

When you book a survey, I'm the one who turns up. No junior staff, no subcontractors — just an experienced pair of eyes, a straight conversation, and a report written by the person who actually inspected your boat. That's how I think it should be done.
