Being in yachting since age 15, I have been forever fascinated/spoiled by it.

Since the last 12 eleven years I have been fully specialised in prepurchase surveys only.
To really concentrate on these prepurchase surveys I decided from the beginning not to engage in new constructions and refit,  damage assessment for insurance companies, deliveries etc.

Before that I spent 15 years just in purchase, repair and selling of yachts and boats. Rest assured that in that time frame you get trained and take care not to buy a little or big desaster!

Working for you can be described as:

Excellent service.
Thorough knowledge.
Flexible.
Integrity.
Fully independent. 

To assure being up to date and in contact with the newest developments and knowledge I decided years ago to joint quite a few surveyor organisations (underside page).
As a member I strictly adhere to the codes of conduct of the most important surveyor organisations in the UK, Netherlands, USA and Germany.

On the average about one month a year alone I spent on seminars and education!
