We all buy boats with our hearts, not our heads.  So it pays to have an objective opinion before you part with your hard-earned money.

 

Similarly, to keep your premiums low, most insurers will periodically want an unbiased opinion of your boat's condition from a marine surveyor.

 

East Anglia Yacht Surveys Ltd specialises in providing pre-purchase and insurance surveys on yachts and motor boats up to 150ft in length, in wood, GRP and steel construction.

We can help you with the purchase of your boat, by identifying any defects and providing recommendations, and advising whether price renegotiation is necessary - and then help to keep your insurance costs low throughout your ownership.

  

Our aim is to help you to enjoy your boat, knowing she is sound and seaworthy.  All our reports are tailored not only to the boat, but also to your experience and the expected cruising area - whether transocean cruising or creek-crawling on the east coast.  Additionally, on request, reports may also include recommended maintenance routines specific to the vessel, for the benefit of less experienced owners.

 

In the unfortunate event of an accident involving your boat, post-damage inspections can also be conducted, including recommendations of the repair procedure, and reporting to insurers.  Repairs can be overseen and evaluated, ensuring that work is carried out to the requisite standard.

All work is carried out by a qualified and experienced surveyor, who actively participates in professional development courses to maintain and extend his skills.  For your peace of mind, East Anglia Yacht Surveys Ltd carries full Professional Indemnity Insurance. 

While we survey boats in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire free of travelling charges, we also undertake surveys anywhere in the UK, travelling by the most cost-effective method.  Costs vary according to the size and type of the boat involved.  An estimate can be supplied free of charge.
