Independent pre-purchase boat inspection in a Swedish marina
Buying a boat

Send me the listing and I'll help you decide if it's worth pursuing, what to ask the seller, what red flags to look for — and whether to continue, negotiate or walk away. Practical pre-purchase screening and buyer support, not a full marine survey.

What I look at when screening a listing

A Walk-Away Check is a remote review based on the listing — these are the things I assess before you spend time or travel money.

  1. Overall Assessment
  2. Maintenance Level
  3. Miscolouration (Rust, Rot, Mould)
  4. Cracks, Spidercracks, Bends
  5. Equipment Level
  6. Bilge and Engine Room Check
  7. Price vs Market Comparison
  8. Documentation and Ownership History
  9. Safety Equipment
  10. Location and Situation

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a pre-purchase survey?

No. A Walk-Away Check is remote screening based on listing information. For a full marine survey, you'll need an in-person surveyor — but my check helps you decide if it's worth that investment.

Are you a boat broker?

No. I'm an independent boat consultant. I don't sell boats or take commissions — I charge a transparent rate for my time. Honestly, there's nothing I enjoy more than helping someone make the right call, whether that's a confident GO or a smart HARD PASS.

How quickly can you respond?

Walk-Away Checks are delivered within 48 hours. Video Assist sessions can often be booked same-day or next-day. For Buyer Support, I typically respond within 24 hours.

What information do you need to start?

For a Walk-Away Check: the listing URL or photos, specs, and asking price. For Video Assist: just book a slot. For Buyer Support: let's start with a call to understand your situation.

Do you operate outside Sweden?

Yes. I work across Scandinavia — Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland. Delivery services can extend further depending on the route.

How does pricing work?

Everything is billed by the hour — 800 SEK per hour, excluding VAT (25%). No fixed packages and no hidden fees: you only pay for the actual time spent on your listing or your boat.
