Book a marine surveyor today

I have engaged Scott on two separate occasions for pre-purchase surveys, initially for a Jeanneau 42 and subsequently for the yacht I now own, a Beneteau first 47.7. On both occasions he has been courteous to all parties involved, professional and meticulous in his observation and uses up to date techniques and equipment including thermal imaging, moisture meters etc. I have previously been involved with boatbuilding companies including seafarer, Haines hunter, Riviera, Lightwave yachts and have experience with a huge variety of techniques and materials. I would honestly say that “I know boats”. Having said that Scott made a number of observations that I would not have otherwise been aware of, and in the case of the first survey, very significant issues and potential costs. After the purchase of my Beneteau, he has twice come to my aid with after service help and advice and done so willingly. Throughout the process Scott has had a genuine interest in making sure that my yacht was seaworthy and meets all legal requirements. I would highly recommend Aquamarine Services.

I just have to write to say how overwhelmed I was and am with the extremely professional and personal attention you gave to me and my boat. Without your help, the boat would not be in the condition it is now. All of your contacts were second to none and all work was carried out superbly. If ever you wish to use my name as an extremely happy client, please do so and I am also happy to talk to any of your clients to overwhelmingly confirm everything I have just said and more. Thank you once again and I look forward to continue to be a client of yours for many years to come.

Thank you for compiling this report for us on Yumigee. It's unfortunate that she had some structural issues, but that is, after all, what we engaged you to discover. You no doubt saved us a considerable sum of money in rectifications had we proceeded.

Hi Scott We would like to write this testimonial on how happy we were with your services. We found you to be very professional, and thorough giving us a well written report. The cost of your service was well spent as the vessel we were considering had a few issue that you bought to light and hence we are so glad that we decided to contact you. You had been highly recommended to us by other and we can see why. No doubt we will be using your services again, once we find what we think is the right vessel for us. We do not hesitate in recommending you to anyone who needs a good survey done on a boat they may be considering.

Scott Thanks for all your help and assistance over the last month. A fantastic vessel and we are very happy with her. She is in perfect condition and immaculate presentation. We made it to Port Macquarie this evening. Thank yo for the hamper and hats! Regards Fraser

Can not speak highly enough of Scott, he was extremely thorough and made us feel completely at ease with the purchase of our first large vessel! He is professional, punctual and was more then happy to answer any questions we had along the way! We wont be using anyone else again!

Thank you Scott for your very comprehensive report. We appreciate the quality of the work you have done as evidenced by your report content. We will be in contact further. Thank you and regards Quentin

I engaged Scott from Aquamarine Services to survey a Riviera M400, a very detailed guy who knows his boats. I was so impressed with his ability to work with the vendor and myself that I engaged his services to manage all items flagged on his survey report for repairs from start to finish including pick-up and delivery so when I reutrned, my family and I were ready to go boating. Finally Scott prepared a maintenance plan, spent a full day with us handing over the boat, teaching my partner and I how to use it and most importantly, par it. Highly recommended Aquamarine Services, great company and made life very easy for us.

Hi Scott, Thanks for your time and your attention to detail, even though we wont be proceeding. Nevertheless, youve no doubt saved us many thousands of dollars on what, to the casual observer, appreared to be a reasonably atractive vessel. Rest assured that we're continuing to look for an alternative. You will be top of our list of surveyors once we short list the next candidate.

Hi Scott, Things went really well. The crew had their weather man on speed dial and did a great job forecasting the weather. Boat never missed a beat the entire trip and it was a great opportunity to become familiar with the vessel. Also caught some fish on the way. Boat now all safe and sound in its home berth and we are all very happy. Really glad I decided to drive across and not ship, it was a great experience. Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Scott Thank you for your report. I consider the report to be an excellent document, reflective of a first rate and thorough inspection. I appreciate your involvement in this long-time-oming purchase. Look forward to seeing you some day when we maybe trade up again!!!

Hi Scott, Just a quick note to express my gratitude for the way you handled the survey of, what is now, my Lagoon 421. It gave me a great comfort that your insopection was so expansive for me, but also extremely helpful when dealing with sub-contractors to fix the fault you had identified. This purchase was a great leap into a different world for me, and your expertise helped settle very ragged nerves. Thanks again. Regards David Barrett

Hi Scott, Yes all happily at home.. Iwas very impressed with your service Scott. Your very professional and you tell it how it is...I will certainly highly recommend you and have been already, it reall couldnt had gone any smoother on delivery and everything was tied and locked down professionally. Again thanks heaps! Mark Hayward
