About
The Principal Surveyor, Geoff Skinner is a fully accredited, professional surveyor with 40 plus years of marine experience and industry qualifications. Geoff has logged over 30,000 miles through a wide range of vessel types and boating activity. At one point Geoff lived on a Humber Sheffield Barge, which he purchased in Goole, sailed to London and converted to a comfortable family home. With specific training and extensive experience in metal hull surveying, he has inspected hulls ranging in size from the typical 10m steel narrow boat and 15m aluminium sailing vessel to, at the other extreme, a 120 year old, 23m rivited iron dutch barge built in 1896, and a 39m spitz barge.
