Shipwright Surveyors: Marine Surveys in Australia and the South Pacific

Services in Marine Surveys

At Shipwright Surveyors, we offer professional marine surveys with a personal service. Marine Surveys can save prospective yacht buyers thousands of dollars by advising them of a vessel’s true condition, possible defects and a plan to get them fixed.

All prospective vessel buyers, whether a first time owner, a weekend cruiser or a seasoned yachtie, are advised to get a survey before purchasing a vessel. Marine Surveys also provide insurance companies and underwriters a professional inspection conclusion to determine whether or not the vessel is an acceptable risk.
