Before you spend thousands on travel and a formal survey, you need independent, model-specific knowledge to veto the wrong boat early. This two-step system is built for committed bluewater buyers who reward diligent sellers and walk away from costly problems.
Step 1: The Model-Specific Survey Guide (USD 29)
The Essential Foundation
These aren’t generic checklists. Each guide is built on dozens of surveys, owner reports, and known failure patterns for a specific model. They show you exactly where that boat tends to fail first.
You get:
Structural Hotspots — Identifying model-specific weaknesses such as saloon window bonding, stress areas around davits, or hardware fatigue.
Targeted Checklists — A precise list of the photos, videos, and documents you need from the seller to assess the boat from home.
Negotiation Insights — Guidance on how certain findings translate to real-world deductions, whether it’s moisture patterns, rigging age, or drive-line service.
A professional surveyor recently described our guide as a “masterpiece of model-specific due diligence.” It ensures you’re speaking the right language from day one.
Step 2: Remote Pre-Survey Support (USD 149)

Once you’ve gathered detailed media and documentation using the guide, we step in as an independent, neutral second set of eyes.
You send: Photos, videos, and records from the seller.
We return:
An objective condition summary
A list of structural red flags to investigate further
Expected repair/upgrade ranges for common issues
Evidence-based leverage points you can use before negotiating or traveling
This service is designed to save you from wasting money on flights, surveys, and haul-outs for a boat that should have been vetoed long before you left home. It’s inexpensive risk insurance that can prevent very expensive mistakes.
“The Remote Pre-Survey Support is an exceptional risk mitigation tool. It is a prudent, low-cost investment that significantly de-risks the entire transaction.”— Professional Marine Surveyor specializing in bluewater catamarans
