We provide Boat pre-purchase Inspections, vessel condition surveys, AMSA DCV surveys, operational machinery inspections, insurance claim assessments, insurance surveys, in and out-of-water inspections, motor or sailboat surveys, ship document audits and marine expert opinion services for legal representation. 

You can contact us by phone or email to request a survey. We reply to all emails within 24 hours. Simply jump over to our contact page and send us an email with your requirements. Note there is also an upload field, where you can attach a photograph of your vessel and any relevant ships particulars. This will enable us to respond with a more detailed estimate of our fees.  

The length of time for a survey depends on the size and complexity of your vessel. We will generally be able to provide an estimated timeline immediately after our initial discussion. As a guide, the average length of time required will be approx. 2-3 hours for a small boat. Where a survey includes in-water and out-of-water inspection, and sea trial (Pre-purchase Boat Inspection) additional time is required. Some survey inspections may take upwards of 6 hours. 

Our survey and marine consultancy services are available throughout Queensland, although our main base and focus is the Whitsunday region, including Airlie Beach, Shute Harbour, Mackay and Bowen. 

We are available to attend most marina locations within Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays, including Coral Sea Marina, Hawkes Boat Yard, Port of Airlie, Shute Harbour, Edges Boat Yard, and Mackay Harbour. We are also available to attend Bowen.
