Marine Consultancy
Owning a boat can be a very rewarding pastime! All that time just floating around exploring new coastlines and ports.
Often a boat that the boys want is not quite what the girls had in mind - our consultancy service offers you the chance to maybe get a solution that works for everyone.
Or what you thought you'd purchased is not what you got!
This is especially important when it comes to making a purchase of a Rib.
RIBS (Rigid Inflatable Boats) have become increasingly popular over the last 5 years, they are great all-round vessels that are easy and quick to use in the ever variable seasons we have...
They are however, not an ordinary vessel in many respects. From hull design to build materials and tube fabrics, the market covers a huge range of options. The second–hand market can throw up an even greater range of possible purchase options... not all of them worth the money being asked!
Here at Fastcraft we can take time with you to go through all the necessary parts of making the right choice before the purchase of a RIB / powerboat, enabling you to clearly see the must haves and the would like to haves. With our years of experience and passion for the industry we offer you an honest opinion of what has attracted your eye.
We can advise on:
- Initial pre-purchase overview.
- Equipping it for sea.
- Basic engine checks. do's / don'ts.
