It was a great pleasure to meet Simon from Ardenna Yacht Surveys. Simon spent the best part of a day working through every nook and cranny of my 42ft Yacht rebuild project. He was very knowledgeable, polite, and showed a very professional interest in my boat and the project. I would definitely recommend Simon to anyone who requires a survey carried out including a well presented professional report. I will definitely be in touch with Simon when my boat requires a full survey on completion and before its launched.

Simon has been a great surveyor on my quest to find the perfect shallow draft costal sailing boat. He has been willing to travel fair distances along the south coast and has always provided invaluable reports, feedback and telephone calls to discuss the pros and cons of the boats I have asked him to survey, all included in affordable costs adn options. He has a world of knowledge and expert technical expertise that has helped sort the wheat from the chaff and spot. Using his services has helped save bucket loads of money on unforeseen repairs and fundamental flaws with what were boats in apparently excellent condition.
