Welcome to Seasurveys
We are professional marine surveyors & shipwright based close to Dorchester in Dorset and we cover the whole of the South West of England from Lands End to Dover and the Severn Estuary. We carry full public & professional liability insurance to ensure customer satisfaction and peace of mind.
Talk to the Surveyor
The first step is to give us a call direct so we can talk about any issues/problems prior to commissioning a survey. Without spending a penny you can find out what we know about a particular class of vessel. We might even know the vessel.Having confidence in your surveyor is very important. Your life may well depend on his knowledge. Once you talk to us you will realise we are very experienced and take great care in all we do. You will find us quite approachable and easy to talk to as well. During a survey clients are welcome to attend, and ask any questions. This give us the opportunity to explain what we are seeing and doing.
As timber yacht owners for over 35 years we are well qualified to report and advise you about a class of boat if you are considering purchasing one. We are happy to offer advice on suitability of a vessel before we survey it.
Find out more about us by exploring this site. We suggest you start with the "About us" link on the administration menu one of the Surveys links. The PDF menu has a large range of documents for downloading including a pre-survey check list & sample surveys for GRP & Timber.

Having a Survey is a Win Win situation?
Unless the vessel is new you will need some sort of survey to satisfy and secure insurance cover anyway. It is always best to survey before purchase rather than after.
We are often commissioned to survey brand new vessels as they can often leave the factory with huge problems that only show up when the vessel is surveyed prior to sale a couple of years later.
A comprehensive survey will often show up problems and faults the owner was not aware of. This gives room for negotiating a reduction in the asking price to cover additional costs of repairs /modifications.
If the survey shows no faults then you have complete peace-of mind knowing you have that very rare item - a boat with no problem areas. Look for the FAQ fact file on the main menu bar above for surveys with answers to most questions about types of survey- insurance & pre-purchase survey differences etc.
