Harwood Marine Surveys

I was introduced to Graham when he surveyed my OVNI for its new owner, I was so impressed by his knowledge and professionalism that when I needed a pre purchase survey for my new boat I had no hesitation in using him. His report was through, easy to understand and arrived in good time. The owner of the boat I was buying was similarly impressed and says he will ask Graham to survey his next boat.

Thank you Graham for your excellent and easily understood report. We are grateful for answering all our questions , while producing a professional and comprehensive survey document of our prospective catamaran purchase.Aftercare has been friendly and supportive

Excellent service. Graham is both knowledgable and approachable. The final survey report was delivered promptly and was clear and concise. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone requiring their vessel surveyed

I contacted Graham from Harwood Marine Surveys after being recommended by noted Class 40 designer. After speaking with Graham we organized the survey of Bingo a Pogo 40 in Arzon France. He was very easy to deal with, knew his stuff, and provided me with a fair, accurate, and honest view of her, including NDT testing for peace of mind. I would recommend Graham at Harwood Marine Surveys to anyone looking for a surveyor.

Graham has been supporting me in my selection of a blue sea vessel for ocean sailing. His knowledge is vast, his advice sound and professionally given and he is happy to engage freely to help me make the right decisions. I deem his support crucial in making the right choice and and am certain that with his help I will.

Great service, bad weather for the survey,Graham got it done a day early, so he could check the hull in the sunshine and the interior in the rain, thoroughly recommended!!

Excellent appraisal and serviceThank you

Graham Connor of Harwood Marine Surveys provided an exceptional service when I asked him to complete a pre-purchase survey of a Class 40 in Port Camargue, France. The report was presented on time to the agreed price and was very thorough. Refreshingly it not only identified defects (as expected) but also contained positive feedback on the condition and build quality of the boat and her equipment - very comforting when you are about to part with your life savings! Graham subsequently joined me for the delivery of the boat from the Med back to the UK, and his knowledge and experience were invaluable during the 2000 nm trip.

I am very happy to have found Graham from Harwood Marine Surveys for the pre-purchase survey of an Arcona 465 carbon with carbon hull and spars. Although the boat was of recent construction (2015), it had been intensively raced, so I wanted a thorough check by someone experienced with carbon structures, which is what led me to contact Graham. He offered a complete and competitively priced package including sea survey, engine oil analysis, and valuation. All the services were provided in the agreed timeframe (winds of 35 knots did not hamper the sea trials with thermography under load!), with a clear, concise, and well illustrated report. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge and experience together with the advanced techniques he applies, Graham provides a clear judgement of issues and positively attests safety, allowing to move forward with confidence. After the survey, he remained fully available for questions and advice. This was again very useful for making cost-saving decisions. I warmly recommend Graham.

Great service
