    Catamaran Connection

  • "Jamil was very thorough and the report was clear in its descriptions. He provided lots of pictures to detail all the comments. We shared this report with some friends who all said they wished their marine survey was this thorough. I was a long day from short-haul to sea trial. Thank you Jamil! Definitely Recommended!"

    Cyn Rowly

  • Thank you again for your very thorough and well documented survey of our vessel. I forwarded your report to the Brokerage a few weeks ago and they said it was the most comprehensive well done survey they've seen.
