A full assessment of your boat’s condition, identifying defects, risks and maintenance items in clear, plain-English reporting.

Insurance Surveys

Initial insurance surveys, renewals and claim-related inspections, formatted to meet insurer requirements.

Engine & Machinery Surveys

Mechanical assessments and oil analysis on engines and equipment, carried out by a certified marine mechanic.

Safety Equipment Assessments

Checking offshore and coastal safety equipment against requirements, giving you confidence before you head out.

AMSA Accredited Surveys

Surveys conducted to AMSA-accredited standards, giving insurers and owners extra confidence for higher-value, older or offshore vessels.
