Anchor House Marine Surveys

I have been surveying since 2006 but with a motor yacht, classic yacht and historic ship background long before then - quite some mixture. It's the lifetime of experience that teaches you the reality of yachts.

​

In this time, I have inspected hundreds of yachts from all the well known - and lesser known - manufacturers and yacht builders. These include names such as Sunseeker, Jeanneau, Moody, Fairline, Westerly, Bavaria, Galeon, Hunter, Princess, Beneteau, Malo, Sealine, Hallberg-Rassy, Dehler, Hanse  etc. It may well be a cliche, but no 2 yachts are the same, even if they followed each other off the production line. I also specialise in classic yachts, whether they be of wood or steel, sail or motor (or steam). Sadly, this is becoming a bit of a dying art and so I do my bit to keep it alive and carry on the traditions.

​

Based around the Hamble river in Hampshire, I cover all main marinas, as well as the smaller boatyards, along the Solent from Chichester to Poole - and now in Newark and Nottingham.

​

My approach to every survey is the same - do a good job, not a rushed job. Every yacht deserves no less.

Finally, I am an Associate Member of the International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS), the most respected of all the marine surveying regulatory bodies.
