Marine Surveyor, Boat Survey and Boat Safety Scheme Examiner

Blue Star Surveys specialize in the surveying of all types of boats, fast planing boats, narrowboats, canal cruisers, steel /iron barges, as well as all types of yachts and sailing vessels. All boat surveys are completed by our fully qualified and insured Small Craft Marine Surveyor, who will produce a fair and precise survey report on the condition of the vessel. For a pre-purchase survey, insurance survey, ultrasonic hull survey, osmosis survey, inspections, damage survey, valuation survey, valuation for insurance or a new build surveys.

As well as boat surveys Blue Star Surveys are also able to offer Boat Safety Scheme Examinations, with the benefit of the examination being carried out by our qualified Marine Surveyor.

Based in Yorkshire we are able to cover Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire as well as the Midlands and all of Northern England. Surveys in France, Holland and Spain are undertaken either via ferry or cheap flights from local airports, 'at cost' travel expenses may well be cheaper than using a local surveyor. Frequent commissions around the country can sometimes mean shared expenses and cheaper prices, please ring or email for a very competitive quote.

We love boats and boating, Mike Boulton our Marine Boat Surveyor and Boat Safety Scheme Examiner has been a motor boat owner for 12 years and has cruised extensively around the Yorkshire tidal and non-tidal waterways as well as on the South Coast. In fact he lived on his boat on the Aire and Calder canal for 4 years. His love for the water stems from a career in the Merchant Navy as a Deck Officer for 7 years. Experience gained from this time at sea has given him a vast knowledge of marine construction techniques and onboard systems.

Our surveyor was featured on the BBC 1 television programme 'Homes live' and is a published and prize winning marine photographer.

We provide a professional service tailored to your individual marine survey needs, produce fair and accurate marine surveys, and above all helping you to boat safely or know you are purchasing the right boat.
