Lanzarote Yacht Surveyor

[scr0che]

I'm looking for a yacht surveyor in Lanzarote (there must be someone, can't find anything on the internet!) - does anyone have any advice/contacts they can send me?

They would need to be English speaking and produce a survey and valuation report acceptable to an English insurance company. I'm intending to have the boat
in Rubicon in Lanzarote in October for the survey.

Capnsensible may know someone, if he spots this, it could cost you a pint in Rubicon though!

The cost of a pint sounds very reasonable for help with this! I asked the marina and they gave me a contact for boat polishing something got lost in the translation I guess

Give it a day or two for him to spot this, if he knows someone i am sure he will advise, he lives near Rubicon.

Hiya. Bad news unfortunately. There aren't any recognised surveyors here. You would need to fly one in. For an English speaker, there is one we have used on the Costa Del Sol. OtherwiseUK. Got some names but it's expensive.

There is a boat engineer who may be able to do something suitable for insurance in Puerto Calero. A friend used him....I will ask him for details.

By coincidence, we are off to Calero shortly. I hope to see the Boatshed rep, social not work, but will ask her too.

No luck so far.....

The guy in Calero can do an engineering / technical report for sales but is not a recognised surveyor.

Boatshed rep was not in office.....have sent her a text.

Rather than ask marina offices, it's probably better to ask the Varadero......boatyard who they know. varadero@puerto calero.com for Calero. I think at Rubicon they transfer you to the yard office. I'm involved with several yachts in Rubicon but find its worth the hassle to lift at Calero.

Am leaving this on the public forum for general information but do PM if you'd rather if you got questions.

Thanks for the assistance. I've emailed the marina directly to seek advice, will do the same for Calero.

I'm also searching for UK based surveyors who do work in the Canaries, I'll report back with my findings.

There are a couple of Brit surveyors in Barcelona but I don't know if they would fly out. Roland Perry and David Dabney. Both expensive compared to the UK but David Dabney is a little less expensive.

Maybe of help maybe not....
Daniel Rodriguez Zaragoza. He is from Gran Canaria, but there are daily ferries and planes to any other island of the archipelago.

Daniel does boat survey jobs for local govt, i.a.

I believe this is his fb:

Confirmed from Boatshed. No surveyor on the island.

Amazing ? I'll see if I can get it done in France before I leave here and just delay my departure date! Thanks again capnsensible.

Got it done with Mobihan Yacht Survey in Roscoff, very happy with the thoroughness and advice given.
