What we're all about
Laver Marine Boat Inspections provides independent, practical boat inspections for vessels being purchased, sold, or insured.
Our Inspection Process
Boat inspections and reporting are deliberately clear, concise, and factual. The report is designed to give a realistic understanding of a boat’s condition without unnecessary detail or technical padding. In many cases, the report serves as a starting point for further consideration; in others, it provides a clear conclusion that no further time or expense is warranted.

Sound background experience
Max Laver approaches boat inspections from the perspective of a qualified boat builder with 40 years experience, alongside formal study and practical experience in marine surveying, specialising in GRP and wooden boats.
Transparent reporting
Reports are deliberately clear, concise, and factual. They are designed to give a realistic understanding of a boat’s condition without unnecessary detail or technical padding. In many cases, the report serves as a starting point for further consideration; in others, it provides a clear conclusion that no further time or expense is warranted.
Straight-forward consultations
We provide clear, concise “yes” or “no” answers — no fluff, no delegating, no nonsense. This approach is also especially helpful for those just starting out on their boating journey. If you’re new to boats we can help.
Personal Safety
Beyond the inspection, we are committed to ensuring the safety of your boat. It is our key priority when undertaking boat inspections so as to ensure the safety of your friends and family whilst on the water.
Practical guidance
Over the years, I’ve seen that many boat owners and buyers are simply looking for clear, practical guidance — whether that’s informed advice, an experienced opinion, or documentation suitable for insurance purposes. Not every situation requires an in-depth technical survey; often, what’s most valuable is an honest, knowledgeable assessment that helps people make confident decisions without unnecessary expense.
