Whether you’re buying a boat, renewing your insurance, or preparing for a sale, a thorough marine survey gives you the complete picture of a vessel’s condition. Ryan is a qualified shipwright with 20+ years behind him and a reputation for being thorough, fair, and straight-talking — so you always get an honest assessment, not just what you want to hear.
Based across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, and Port Stephens, Ryan conducts surveys on a wide range of recreational vessels and delivers clear, detailed reports that insurers accept with confidence.
Insurance risk evaluation Survey Most insurers require an out-of-water survey every five years. Ryan’s insurance surveys meet the requirements of major marine insurers and are delivered in a format they’re familiar with, making renewal straightforward.
What sets Ryan apart: Ryan’s surveys are known for being detailed and honest. His flat-rate pricing means no surprise bills, and his practical experience as a working shipwright means he spots things a desk-based surveyor might miss.
“Ryan was extremely thorough and professional carrying out my 5 yearly survey for insurance. His flat rate charge was within the realms of reality compared to other surveyors I have used over the years.” — Mike H
