Found a Yacht you like in Greece? - Covid restrictions!

With the latest Omicron variant of Covid 19 spreading across Europe I have clients who are still buying and now demanding 'Walk Through Surveys', 'Video Surveys' and lots of images and online discussion. WhatsApp has allowed me to send stream video and images showing important defects and immediate findings. 

If you have your eye on a Yacht in Greece and cannot get out to see it, please contact me. I guarantee a 48 hour delivery of a personalised and comprehensive survey report in PDF (electronic) format.​

I will include complimentary 'Walk Through Videos' sent directly through WhatsApp, so we can eliminate any unknowns.

One Off Design Ymir 58 footer for Survey in Samos Greece

1992 Custom Aluminium Ketch for Survey today in Karlovasi Shipyard on Samos Island.



  This beautiful Ketch was built in 1992 to old plans at the German shipyard  Kühnemund,Schacht- Audorf in Schleswig-Holstein. She is a replica of a schooner that was used in Newfoundland in the 18th century to hunt alcohol smugglers!



Hull was 5mm alloy plate with paint coatings also recorded. Apparently the plating was used from an old aeroplane. 







Another rope caught up in this cutless bearing. The rudder will have to be removed to draw the shaft. Though durable, these bearings will need to be replaced to  avoid vibrations or, worse, shaft, log, or strut damage due to overheating.

Todays Marine Survey in Nidri Preveza

‘Glaros’ was originally built as a Caïque, (a traditional fishing boat) usually found among the waters of the Ionian or Aegean Sea. Today, this type of vessel, varying in size are popular for tourist charters. Caïques were built on the foreshore in a shipyard from pine wood. 





20 years ago the owner stripped her out for a major refit.





Nidri is full of wooden boats under repairs!




Found yourself a Wooden boat in Greece and need a Survey, please drop me an email.
