client feedback
RTM stood out as the most professional in their survey detail, what was included or could be covered, and the prompt communication.
The 3 team members that attended the sea trial and survey were excellent in their knowledge, interaction with the Seller, Broker and Buyer as well as the detail that was covered.
The open communication with all work, plus a jovial attitude and respect shown to the crew and vessel while working, is first-rate and highly commendable to the staff and management of RTM. It has become unusual to find such honesty from contractors in the Superyacht world.
I would highly recommend RTM based on my experience and would be happy to provide a reference or answer any questions.
I found Rod extremely easy to work with, he carried out a very detailed inspection of the boat and explained the report so we had a complete picture of what we were buying.
Being new to this style of boating we found Rod took the time to answer any of our questions on the day and gave us ongoing support over the next few weeks even after the deal was done.
Should we ever purchase another boat there is no question that Rod will be the person we will turn to when it comes to the pre-inspection.
