About Us
All BMSE members hold the IBTC diploma in yacht and small craft surveying gained only after passing an intensive practical course. Many already had extensive marine industry backgrounds ranging from boatbuilders and brokers to superyacht captains.
Our emphasis is to provide comprehensive reports written in clear and understandable english. We carry out a thorough series of inspections and tests and we describe the results as found. While all members work to a similar format and standard, each member will offer different services and specialities.
BMSE was formed to allow an exchange of information between surveyors, thereby allowing each surveyor to draw on the specialist expertise of others. Members communicate on a forum daily discussing new technology, emerging trends, and industry issues as well as individual vessel’s defects. See more information on our Knowledge Pool page.
