Our Reports
We carry out a thorough inspection of your boat, both in and out of the water and then produce a concise, clearly written report on the condition and presentation of the vessel, this will include any defects and a comprehensive list of prioritised recommendation to be addressed, graded as:
- Important safety concerns.
- Advisory maintenance issues
- Suggested improvements.
Once the report has been issued, generally within three to four working days of the inspection, Mark Robertson is available to discuss and give advice on any concerns or points that may have arisen from the inspection.
Our surveys are backed by the BIA and IIMS Professional Codes of Conduct and fulfil the requirements of the leading finance and insurance companies.
To provide the best customer service possible.
To make each client feel like the only client.
To promote safety within the boating community.
To provide a prompt, impartial and accurate report.
