Buying, Ownership & Cruising

An experienced technical adviser through the decisions that come with owning a yacht.

Considering a boat?

Bring me the yacht you’re considering and tell me how you plan to use it. I can help assess suitability, likely compromises and areas that deserve closer investigation. Buyer advisory begins with candidates you bring to me.

Understand the findings and plan the work

A survey is the start of a decision, not just a report. We can work through the findings, prioritize corrective work and consider the equipment or changes needed for your intended use. Marine surveys are available by location and arrangement.

Keep the relationship going

Former survey clients often return with repair questions, equipment choices, estimates and cruising problems. Knowing the vessel and its survey history provides useful context, alongside current information about its condition.

Professional help when new questions arise

Continuing advice is work you can engage me to provide. Whether you need a call about one issue or support through a larger project, we can agree on the scope and fee before proceeding.

Away from your home port

Photos, video, measurements and test results can help us work through technical questions remotely and identify the next practical steps.
