Why carry out a professional survey?
When buying a new or second hand vessel, there is a lot of information coming your way as the buyer.
We will assist you to look through the ' pink cloud' you are on and inspect the vessel on (hidden) defects, attention points or safety risks.
With our independent survey, you known exactly in what kind of condition the vessel is, so you do not get to stand in front of unpleasantries after the purchase.
Trust on our years of expertise for a objective and expert judgement
About The Yacht surveyor
Pim van Putten has saltwater running though his veins; he's had a connection to the water from a young age. During his childhood, he spent every weekend and summer vacation aboard his parents' boat. In his adult life, he's owned and refurbished numerous cabin sailing yachts.
He currently sails the Ijsselmeer on a Bavaria 46 Cruiser, which has undergone a complete (technical) refit in recent seasons.
Various duohanded and solo sailing trips, both domestically and internationally, led him to the yacht brokerage industry.
After independently establishing and running an international yacht brokerage, he's now ready to assist (new) boat owners with the purchase of their dream yacht at The Yacht surveyor. With over 10 years of experience as an international yacht broker and his presence at every technical inspection (800+), he understands the pitfalls like no other.
Buying a sailing yacht should be a joy!
We contacted Pim about buying a boat. We found Pim to be an exceptionally friendly, enthusiastic, and sympathetic. He excels in personal guidance, advice, and expertise. Reliable, realistic, and meticulous.
We highly recommend him.
