MORE INFORMATION

"Lyndon was generous with his time and expertise when I was looking into the possibility of viewing a wooden yacht. Even though I didn’t proceed to a survey his advice was invaluable and his in depth knowledge and insight was clear. I will certainly return to him in future as I continue to search for my next yacht and based on my experience would recommend him without reservation."

“Needed a speedy survey on an old steel pontoon for insurance purposes. Called March & Co and within a week they had completed the survey and produced the report. Excellent service. Lyndon's a really helpful and knowledgeable chap. Highly recommend

“Lyndon provided excellent service and was super helpful through the whole process of the survey. As someone who is a novice with narrow boats, Lyndon provided a lot of support and answered any and a lot of questions I had. Thanks again!”
