What You Can Expect
From My Surveys
Buying a yacht or boat represents a major investment. When you are considering a craft, it is essential to have a detailed, independent survey of its condition. With Lighthouse Yacht & Boat Surveys, you can expect:
A detailed survey of the vessel, measured against the highest industry standards
A factual and easy-to-understand report, subject to any limitations, that gives you complete clarity on the condition of your proposed purchase
A report that lists any faults found, in order of severity. For example, whether they affect the safety, insurability or value of the vessel or are more cosmetic in nature
Advice on your next steps in the wake of the survey
Marine Surveyor
Solent, Southampton, Portsmouth, Lymington and South Coast
From the company’s base close to the Solent, I can visit boatyards in Southampton, Portsmouth, Lymington, Hamble, Gosport and others along the South Coast. If you are further afield in the UK, I will be happy to visit you by prior appointment to carry out a survey.
