CB Marine Services offer a range of services which will help you to purchase, maintain and handle your boat. From traditional builds to modern designs, from beginner to experienced sailor, we can help you to get the most from your boating experiences.

 

Survey

Pre-purchase Survey

A comprehensive inspection of a vessel carried out on your behalf. All aspects of the vessel are inspected over the course of a full day. Inspections ashore and afloat are recommended and a separate sea trial can also be arranged. A full illustrated report is provided electronically and on paper. Charged per foot of length overall.

Pre-sale survey

A full inspection as above but commissioned by the seller. This highlights any areas which may cause problems during the sale process. The report can be revised to take into account any remedial work completed. For a small administration fee the report can be transferred to the buyer's name and be used for insurance purposes. Charged per foot overall.

Boat finder survey.

A brief inspection of potential vessel(s) for purchase. Inspections can be carried out on a number of similar vessels in order to narrow the selection prior to viewings or full survey. Charged per day or part thereof.

We offer discounts to owners of Nicholson 32s and members of the Nicholson 32 Association.

 

Training

Colin is an RYA qualified Cruising Instructor and an RYA Shorebased and Diesel Engine Course Instructor and has been sailing professionally since 2004.

If you are new to boat ownership and want to gain some supervised experience or want to brush up on a few specific skills or even just have someone else on board to make longer passages less daunting, Colin's experience and knowledge will be invaluable.

Tuition on your own boat can be tailored to your specific needs giving you the confidence and skills you need to sail safely. You can improve your sailing with your family or regular crew and spend as long as you need to build your skills, confidence and team work.

Start the season with a shake down day and prepare yourself, your crew and your boat for the coming months.

Extend your cruising range and venture further afield with confidence under the supervision of an experienced offshore sailor.

 

Cradle to Wave

Bespoke solutions for you and your boat.

New to boating? Not sure where to go for honest advice in choosing the right type of boat for your needs? There are hundreds of boats out there and it can be difficult to tell them apart. As a qualified surveyor I am not involved in selling boats, so I can give you genuine independent advice and do not receive any commission from brokers or sellers.

Whether you live far from or near to your boat, managing routine and seasonal maintenance can be a hassle. Make sure nothing is forgotten with a tailored programme from CB Marine Services.

We can solve your problems and make sure your boat is ready when and where you want it.
