About BoatBuy
Published business information from YouSail. Source record updated .
BoatBuy is led by Aaron O’Donoghue, whose published background combines marine mechanical training with marine surveying.
Services include pre-purchase inspections, insurance surveys and pre-delivery, warranty and periodic inspections. Depending on the booking, reports assess the hull, engines, electrical systems and trailer, with a sea trial and optional diagnostics or oil sampling.
BoatBuy explicitly specialises in powerboats and states that it does not inspect sailing yachts. Sailing-boat buyers should choose a yacht surveyor instead. Contact the Sydney team to confirm scope and local availability.

Questions to ask about marine surveyor
Explain the purpose of the survey and identify who will rely on it. Send available vessel details, access arrangements and any specific concerns. Ask the surveyor to define the scope and limitations before booking the inspection.
Three questions worth asking
- What is included, excluded or dependent on access?
- Does the boat need to be ashore for the agreed scope?
- How are findings, priorities and further investigations explained?
What to keep afterwards
Arrange time to discuss the report and unfamiliar terms. Keep the report with the decisions it informed, and obtain specialist follow-up where the surveyor recommends it.
