A white luxury yacht named Indalo on calm blue waters under a clear sky.

"I contracted Guy Howard to inspect the engineering systems onboard my 50-foot motor yacht from halfway around the world. Guy was immensely knowledgeable and thorough with his survey and produced an impressive report in very short order. Beyond that, Guy helped set me up with service contacts for ongoing maintenance needs and advised me on an appropriate service schedule to keep me organized and my vessel in good condition. His fees are fair and his personality obliging and professional. I would recommend Guy wholeheartedly to anyone needing engineering advice or a boat surveyor Airlie Beach or in the Whitsundays".
