Pre-Purchase Surveys
A clear picture of the boat before you commit.
A thorough inspection of structure, systems and on-water performance by a qualified Marine Surveyor and shipwright, written up the same day with photographs and followed by a phone walkthrough.
What's included
Each survey works through a set inspection routine built around Australian marine practice and what insurers expect to see. Nothing gets skipped because it's awkward to reach.

- Plumbing, bilge & through-hulls
