SURVEY
Every boat looks good on a sunny quay. A survey is how you find out what the gelcoat is hiding: the moisture in the core, the hours the engines really feel like, the systems on their last season. It is the single best money spent in any purchase.
The surveyors we bring in are independent, and the report lands in plain English: what is wrong, what it costs, what can wait and what cannot. If it kills the deal, it just saved you the boat. More often, it pays for itself at the negotiating table.
I tell every buyer the same thing: the survey is the cheapest day of the whole purchase. It is the one day the boat cannot hide anything from you.
