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

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.
Response : Filipe, thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure dealing with you and I'm glad the boat performed so well in the passage across Biscay shortly after the survey.

My brother and I are currently in the process of buying our first boat. We 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.Moreexpand_more

Jonathan surveyed my Beneteau Oceanis at very short notice. His report was both easy to comprehend and detailed. I particularly appreciated the style of the written product that provided me with a very comprehensive understanding of the many technical aspects that I was not able to 'see' during my own visits to the boat. As a result I felt confident to make an offer on the boat and proceed with purchase. Very Highly recommended.

Jonathan did a pre-purchase survey for a boat we were buying. He was very proactive in making arrangements with the broker, and did an extremely comprehensive job - with a very clear and detailed report, complete with photos of areas needing attention. Would definitely us again.

A thoroughly professional, efficient and cost effective service. Jonathan kept me informed at every stage and made every effort to oblige my requirements culminating in a thorough survey which was acted upon by the vendor giving me the result that I wanted. I wouldn`t hesitate to use Jonathan again in the future.
Response : Jeanneau Leader 8 Pre-purchase survey.

Jonathan did an insurance survey for me. His survey report was comprehensive and clearly written making it easy to understand. It was very good value for money, being cheaper than pre-purchase survey but much more thorough. The time between survey and receipt of the report was also commendably short. This was an excellent service and I recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a reliable and reputable yacht surveyor.
Response : Tomohawk 25 Insurance Renewal Survey.

I obtained Jonathan Massey's details from the Cruising Association as I intended buying a yacht afloat in Devon. I then contacted Jonathan and explained to him my requirements. Jonathan then performed a most thorough survey on the yacht which I subsequently purchased. He was always available to discuss the points raised and offered very helpful advice at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan as I found his knowledge and serve fantastic. Michael S. , Kildare, Ireland.
