Pre-purchase Inspections:
Every boat is different, and we want to ensure that you purchase the best boat that satisfies your requirements, your budget and your constraints.
We offer a full survey service for all types of boats. Whether you need advice on which boat best meets your needs and/or experience or a complete survey and sea trial, we have the tools and knowledge to help. Sail or Power, the choice is yours, we're here to help you make the right decision. No question will be left unanswered and any answer is open to question.
We are fully conversant with USCG rules and regulations and ABYC standards to help keep you safe.
As a guide, there are good boats and there are cheap boats. Finding a good, cheap boat is a lot more difficult...
Valuations:
Looking to sell? Need better insurance? We can perform a basic survey to give you a better understanding of what your boat is worth.
Insurance Inspections:
Accidents happen, that's is why you have insurance. However, there is often a difference in what it will cost and what they will pay. We can perform a full detailed survey and provide a report which will clearly outline what needs to be repaired and how it should be done. Second rate repairs should never be acceptable.
Warranty Claims:
Your warranty should give you the peace of mind that if your boat suffers a manufacturing defect, they will put it right. Sadly, once you take delivery, it often becomes your problem. Under warranty, your boat should be repaired in a professional manner and delivered back to you like it never happened. Sub-standard repairs will have a big impact on future re-sale value.
New Boat Inspections:
The big day has arrived, your new boat is ready for delivery!! But did you actually get what you paid for? We offer an inspection, where we will ensure that your contract has been honored. We will also inspect for build quality and overall finish. If we're not satisfied, neither should you be.
