Reviews
Fantastic! Thanks.
We hired Keith to carry out a purchase inspection of a >100 ft motor yacht. Keith's knowledge and experience contributed greatly to the process and his clear reporting to analysis ensured that we were able to have a good negotiation with the seller. Even after the inspection was completed, Keith was and remains involved and available for advice. We can highly recommend Keith if you intend to purchase a yacht!
Highly recommend!
Keith was truly outstanding as our Monitoring Surveyor. His wealth of experience total professionalism, and ability to communicate with both us and the key staff at Princess was exemplary. Keith had the respect of all parties involved in the build, and saved us a substantial amount of money with his common sense approach to several key decisions that we were asked to make along the way by the manufacturers. We wouldn't hesitate to use Keith again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or have built a boat of any size. type or make.
Enthusiasm and a positive attitude!
We have known Keith for well over 17 years now and seen many different sides to his talents. More importantly he has always given a very frank and professional view on his surveys, with full technical explanations supporting every item. Being very adapted to Mediterranean life Keith can approach any type of survey, in different languages, with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. In addition, he has always been able to make himself available where possible, and cost-wise is very reasonable!!
