Testimonials

We engaged Tim to inspect a boat for us prior to purchase. He has an extensive background in the marine industry, and was very personable and happy to answer any questions we had. His report was extremely comprehensive, giving us peace of mind with our purchase.”

— Justin Holmes-Brown

“Tim from Peak Marine was an absolute legend and a pleasure to work with. The pre-sale survey was extremely thorough and professional. Tim took the time to walk us through some of the key items identified during the survey, which was helpful to reflect on once we had the report. His extensive knowledge and experience with yachts and sailing were evident. Would highly recommend his services. Thank so much Tim.”
