testimonials
Westerly Vulcan
"Paul Just a short note to say thank you for the survey on the Westerly Vulcan. The results were very professionally presented (both as a hard copy and electronically) clearly and concisely, backed up with loads of extra photographs (almost 200 of them). The degree of detail given and the reasons for each recommendation and their priority graded was most helpful and enabled us to negotiate with the seller and complete a successful purchase. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to friends. Regards Collin P"
Colvic Countess
"Mr Kerridge, thank you for the survey report which we have now thoroughly read. There's a lot of good information in it and I can see why your service was recommended to us. Many thanks."

skills
Continual Development
With a background in boat building, yacht repair, fitout and servicing I am best placed to provide you with a thorough, in-depth assessment of the vessel; not only concerning the structural integrity of the yacht but also the systems onboard. Yachts and boats of all sizes have become increasingly more complicated and an ever-increasing percentage of the value is within the systems onboard. Where possible all the systems are tested for functionality and inspected for suitable installation. I also use a range of specialist testing equipment to ensure you get the best yacht survey possible.
testimonial
“Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with and presented a really detailed survey within days of viewing the boat in Italy.” “ Not only did Paul Kerridge uncover some very significant problems with a potential purchase he also came up with a clear strategy and costings to correct the issues. This was most helpful and beyond a normal surveyor's work” “ Over the years I have worked with numerous yacht surveyors and I would not hesitate to recommend Paul. I will definitely use him again."
