Need an Independent Vessel Inspection or Quality Audit?

Whether you’re considering purchasing a vessel, preparing to sell, or want an experienced second set of eyes on its condition and workmanship, we provide practical, independent inspections and quality audits tailored to your requirements. We’re happy to discuss your vessel, your requirements and how we can assist.

Our inspections take a practical approach, combining a boatbuilding perspective with a strong focus on usability and detail. We assess construction and structural areas, fit-out and workmanship, onboard installations, previous repairs and modifications, accessible machinery and service spaces, as well as overall presentation and cosmetic condition.
Particular attention is given to defects, poor workmanship, water ingress, deterioration and areas requiring further investigation or rectification. Findings are documented in a clear report and discussed with the owner or buyer to help inform their next steps.

What We Look For

Pre-Sale & Specialist Inspections
For pre-sale inspections, we can identify repairs, maintenance and presentation items worth addressing before bringing the vessel to market. Where specialist assessment is required, we can coordinate the appropriate marine specialists to inspect specific systems or areas of concern.

Leak & Water Ingress Inspections
We can investigate any suspected leaks and water ingress throughout your vessel, identify likely sources and determine what may be required to rectify the issue. Where appropriate, we can also carry out the required rectification works.
