I have been sailing for over 45 years and used the services of Matt West over the past 5 years. I have found his knowledge, advice and guidance to be the best I have experienced in my sailing years. What particularly sets him apart from his contemporaries is that he discussed and explained various parts of his finding with me as the survey progressed and did not arrive to do his work with any preconceived rigid ideas but rather worked with me to address his findings. In between surveys, I have had occasions to seek his advice and he has readily responded to my queries. I have no hesitation in recommending Matt.
