Re: Surveyor recommendation in Grenada

Sorry for the late response - everything got very busy after the survey. Neil did a fantastic job, couldn't be happier - and yes we bought the boat.

Re: Broker in Grenada

We just had our survey last Monday with Neil Batcheler (survey@mangoprojects.gd).

He was just what we needed. Independent, honest, helpful and extremely professional.

Very happy with his work.

Re: Surveyor recommendation in Grenada

Rick, we had a few weeks of lead time. I think he gets quite booked up though, so worth reaching out as soon as you have a date in mind.
