"Sharp Marine services recently carried a pre-purchase survey for us. We were apprehensive throughout the process but Gavin was very patient and took the time to explain everything to us. He is clearly very competent and knowledgeable and that is reflected in the quality of the report we received. Friendly, professional and honest. Would not hesitate to use their services again!"

"I recently engaged Gavin from Sharp Marine Surveys for a pre-purchase survey of a boat.

Gavin is a meticulous professional and the survey was exceptionally thorough. The turnaround time was swift, and he took all the time that I needed to go through the report together and clarify every single point.

Gavin has an extensive knowledge of the nautical world, and I thank him for his willingness to give me friendly advice beyond the survey itself (moorings, boat types, etc.).

Overall, I strongly recommend Gavin's professional service. His friendly demeanour coupled with his extensive knowledge of marine surveys made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable."

"Sharp Marine Surveys carried out a pre purchase survey for our new boat. And a great service was provided. Great communication throughout, the report was sent the same day as the survey. And Gavin spent time on the phone the following day going through the report whilst I was onboard. Absolute brilliant service would highly recommend."

Sharp Marine surveys carried out an extensive survey of my 53 foot steel Motor yacht. She had been out of the water for several years undergoing a major refit of all Systems including some hull replacement forward and aft decks all electrics and water systems just to name a few.
Gavin met me at an agreed time to go over my boat , I found Gavin to be very knowledgeable and he found quite a few things wrong both minor and serious. Without Sharp Marine surveys giving my boat the once over I might have got myself into serious trouble once at sea.

A few days later A full and extensive report was emailed to me with things I needed to do to make my boat both seaworthy and insurable , Gavin very kindly popped back a week or so later and went through all the things I had put right. This enabled Gavin to give my vessel a clean bill of health.

If you are buying a boat or you need an insurance valuation, Then Sharp Marine Surveys are the ones for you .I cannot recommend this company more highley. Thanks again to Gavin for his professionalism and eagle eye for detail.
Many thanks again.

Gavin Sharp was recently recommended to me to do the survey on the boat we were interested in buying, and I am absolutely 100% over the moon that we chose Gavin.

He is very decent, honest, knowledgeable and thorough - knows his stuff - and his comprehensive report gave me the confidence to make a sound decision. I will definitely book him again for any future surveys.

Excellent in all departments. The 40 page survey report, more than covered everything.
