UK Yacht Surveyors Ltd

I have used this well qualified and thorough surveyor twice for 40ft+ motor yachts and received excellent service. Highly recommended.

My brother and I are currently in the process of buying our first boat. We are based in the West of Ireland and needed to get a potential boat surveyed in the South of the U.K. Jonathan was the surveyor that we chose to engage with based on a number of excellent recommendations. I really cannot speak highly enough of him. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and meticulous in his work. We attended for the actual survey and learned a lot about surveying boats, as we found Jonathan very approachable and he explained everything to us in simple language we could understand. The very detailed survey report was sent to us in a day and a half of the survey and very clearly documented the vessel from top to bottom. He quickly found a number of critical issues with the boat that we had missed and as such, saved us from a seriously bad move. If you are looking to buy a boat and want true peace of mind with an impeccable surveyor, then definitely contact Jonathan. An expert and a gentleman.

Jonathan is a great professional. At the beginning of June 2023 I hired his services to carry out a survey on a Rival 32. Despite its good looks, Jonathan found structural problems on the boat. Thanks to the survey I was able to avoid buying a boat that needed expensive repairs. Thank you Jonathan. Marcos.

I never expected a boat survey could be such a pleasurable experience. Jonathan was professional with a pleasant manner and very thorough. He was happy to talk me through what he was seeing. I learnt a great deal about the boat which was invaluable.

I was really pleased with the in depth survey on my catamaranJonathan took his time and looked at everything in detail. I was really happy with the cost of survey too. All recommendations were important for me to know. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone wanting a survey.Thank you again and I hope to see you out there

I have used the service of UK Yacht Surveyors last September as part of a pre-buy survey of a Dufour Grand Large 425.The survey delivered by Jonathan Massey was extremely detailed with all the key areas thoroughly inspected. The report provided was very comprehensive with an identification of all the issues that had to be promptly addressed. Being in the process of aquiring the sailboat from abroad, the quality of the survey and the support of Jonathan was of outmost importance to sucessfully closing the deal.

If you are looking for a pre-purchase survey of a sailing yacht anywhere on the UK's south coast, it would be hard to find a better surveyor than Jonathan Massey. He is exceptionally well qualified and meticulous in his work. I received his thorough and detailed report in less than 48 hours and it gave me all the information and the confidence I needed to proceed with the purchase, at a very fair price.
