How may I help?

Welcome, and thanks for visiting my website. My whole life has been centred around boats so I have expertise in various areas.  Please don't hesitate to give me a call to discuss your needs, the chances are if I can't help, I might know someone that can.

Marine Surveys

The majority of my work at this time is as a marine surveyor. Primarily for pre-purchase and insurance surveys on the West Coast of Scotland.
I really enjoy helping buyers understand the condition of a boat they are looking at, and satisfying the needs of boat safety for insurance purposes. I also enjoy being able to help clients deliver their boats or skipper for sea trials when necessary as well.

I am an accredited member of the YDSA, an affiliate of the IIMS, and of course, I am fully insured to offer Pre-Purchase, Insurance, and Valuation surveys on private and commercial yachts up to 30mtrs LOA.

Master (500 tons)

Having worked as a yacht captain (and often engineer) for over 25 years, I have been fortunate to work on vessels of all shapes and sizes in many roles and situations. I am commercially licenced to 500 gt. Before starting surveying, I worked for six years as a relief/delivery captain for commercial charter yachts in Scotland,  10 years prior to that I was employed by a private yacht owner as his marine consultant, involved in the purchase/sale and management of his various superyachts in the Mediterranean.

Marine Electrics

I have always been interested in electrics and electronics and have upgraded and completely rewired some yachts. I enjoy staying up to date with modern equipment and improving yacht systems generally. Of course, I am also fully insured for this work.

Whatever your maritime needs, please don´t hesitate to give me a call on +447980892762  or message me on WhatsApp. to discuss your needs and see how I can help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cameron did a super job surveying our Contessa 32. He was really responsive and flexible and his report was comprehensive and written with clarity.

Very polite and professional with very clear communications and completely removed the anxiety of buying a boat, would definitely use again and recommend to anyone

I relied on Cameron's expertise for two sea trials. During the second trial, I was present alongside the boat's owner. Cameron went above and beyond...
