Surveyor in Genoa Italy/ Onw who travels from UK

Hi All,

I apologies if this has been posted already but i have not been able to see anything specifically for this are when looking on the older forums.

I am looking for a reliable qualified surveyor who speaks english, preferably in Genoa, Italy or nearby.

Alternately a Good surveyor in the UK who would fly down (direct flights from London at my expense is no problem)

Any recommendations, or ideas would be much appreciated!

Devon

Hi Devonh,

I know of a surveyor based in Fiumicino, just beside the Roma airport.

He speaks good English and I would recommend him to you, I have his details if you need them.....

Re: Surveyor in Genoa Italy/ Onw who travels from UK

Hi Devon,

Hello! This is my first post too.
We have just purchased a Beneteau 393 in Italy and was recommended to use Sacha Giannini. Although mainly written in Italian, the survey was extremely thorough, and was fairly easy to translate using google translate. If all else fails you could try - email sacha.giannini@tiscali.it
Good luck with everything.

Re: Surveyor in Genoa Italy/ Onw who travels from UK

I have been working with a surveyor in Devon recently…
Great guy to work with…Understood my needs perfectly… Fastidious and attention to the details...
He conducted 'walk-through' surveys on three boats for me, prior to to me travelling from Las Palmas. I closed on one of the boats last week, following his full survey
I would thoroughly recommend him…
PM me if you want his details

Re: Surveyor in Genoa Italy/ Onw who travels from UK

We have just purchased a 49' in Livorno. Our surveyor was Davide Zerbinati, based in 26020 Crotta d'Adda, cell +39 3482477243. He charged€1000 + TVA. Report was in English. He was very thorough and approachable.

Zerbinati is Aldo a boat designer, possibly a ship builder, and had a number of nautical gear on sale via web.

He is quite fastidious for any agent/seller, and very go/no-go in his assessments
