Find a YDSA surveyor

Find a marine surveyor by name or location in our online members' directory or search the member information to find out who specialises in the type of boat survey you want. Members will generally travel outside their geographical area so consideration should be given to any specialist requirements when choosing a yacht surveyor. Still not sure? Contact the YDSA staff team, who will do their best to help if your request is particularly unusual.

The entry grade for YDSA members is "Affiliate", with upgrading via the in-house examination for surveyors, to "Accredited"; and eventually to "Full" Member. "Fellow" and "Honorary" Members are elected by the members at an AGM for services to the association. Affiliate members may not advertise their membership.

IBTC Graduate is an additional grade of membership for those who have successfully completed the Practical Yacht Surveying course at the IBTC, Lowestoft, and are now working as marine surveyors, building up their experience. Many have experience from elsewhere in the industry. Find out more about the course here. See a list of Graduate Members here.
