Will Copeland - Qualified Yacht & Marine Surveyor

I survey sailing and motor boats of all types, mainly in Cornwall, Devon & Brittany and throughout the rest of Europe, for condition, pre-purchase, insurance, damage assessment, MCA small commercial vessel (SCV) coding, tonnage measurement or valuation purposes.

My surveys:

give you peace of mind that the boat you are buying is safe
show what work is required to make the boat insurable in an easy to use list
help you decide whether the boat is value for money
are all carried out by Will Copeland - no outsourcing and no sub-contracting
are backed up by my membership of the UK's top surveying associations (YDSA and IIMS), my surveying qualifications and my years of surveying and boating experience.

I also consult on refurbishment projects, osmosis treatments and repairs.

Thank you for your quick delivery of the survey on "yacht", your professional and personable manner has made it a pleasure to do business with you. Mr J.R. (Devon) Westerly Konsort

Thanks for getting the survey to me so quickly, it is very detailed, to the extent that I didn't really feel I needed to speak to you on Friday. It also enabled me to re-negotiate the price sufficiently to cover the cost of the essential repairs. Mr M.G. (Cornwall) Beneteau Oceanis 351

Thank you very much for the written report, received yesterday. Thank you too for all your help and advice, it has been invaluable. Mr T.L. (Cornwall) Westerly Griffon

Thank you for your quick response and kind attitude. Mr V.L. (Russia) Ebbtide 33

Well spotted Will. I was able to get double your survey fee off the price of the yacht. Mr D.H. (Brittany) - Rustler 36 and Contessa 32

Your work and excellent communications skills with us before, during and since the survey are very much appreciated. The Survey Report is comprehensive, clear and authoritative. Mr R.W. (Warwickshire) Hardy Mariner 26

It was great that you could speak such good French as we found out a lot more about the boat. Mr A.G. (Falmouth) Olympic Adventure 47
