Andy made the whole process very easy from initial enquiry, what I needed to do before the visit and the inspection itself. Very professional and plenty of info on the inspection process. This is the first time I’ve used Andy and I would recommend to a friend.
Andy performed our BSC assessment very thoroughly which in turn confirmed the safety of our boat which then gave us peace of mind.
Would highly recommend Andy and will definitely book him again in the future.
Very learned, experienced, and ready to offer advice freely. Like it says on the tin, Professional, informative and friendly.
Andy is the 3rd BSS examiner to examine my boat since I bought it and without doubt he is the most thorough. A very friendly chap, who understands about living on a boat & therefore doesn’t get tied up in knots about some of the weird ways boaters live (believe me, this is really helpful.)
Gave me lots of free advice about ways to improve the boat’s safety too. Will definitely use him again when it’s time.
Andy came at short notice to assess our boat’s safety prior to us selling. He did such a phenomenal job of going through each point, explaining to us what he was doing and why along the way. We learned such a lot and found him to be both incredibly professional and very personable. I wish we’d found him earlier!
We left the assessment feeling really reassured not only about passing the assessment, but also that nothing was left to chance. His assessment was so valuable in ensuring we felt confident in the overall safety of the boat before the new owner took her on. Thanks so much!
Recently had a BSS done by Andy and very pleased with his attention to detail ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once we learnt that Andy had carried out full BSS and rectified any failings we had the confidence to buy . Andy has helped us enormously to get back on the water after my husband had suffered a stroke . We could not have done it without his support, knowledge and skills
Really great experience. Andy was friendly, efficient and professional. He made the whole process from scheduling to payment and completion of the assessment super easy. Can’t rate him highly enough!
Andy completed the Boat Safety Examination of our Widebeam Boat ‘Neptune’ back in January 2023. Andy was fantastic throughout – friendly, experienced, informative and did a thorough job examining the boat and conveying what got the green light and what needed a bit more work to pass. Very much appreciated Andy treating this as much more than a simple box ticking exercise as he made sure to explain why our initial failures were marked down as unsafe. This led us to rectifying some fuel hoses installed by a third party in the engine bay that were found to be non-fire resistant. We are extremely grateful this was spotted and are happy to have peace of mind our home is up to scratch following Andy’s re-examination a short while after. Will be using Andy again for next check up, would definitely recommend!
Andy recently did the BSS on our Dutch barge and was brilliant. He was up to date on all of the latest requirements and gave honest, helpful feedback and advice on what we needed to do to get the boat compliant. He offers the free retest which combined with his solid advice, makes the whole process stress-free. The most thorough BSS we’ve had and we felt in very good hands with Andy. Highly recommend.
We love to hear from our satisfied customers.
