About
BoatBuy provides powerboat pre-purchase surveys, insurance surveys and mechanical inspections in Sydney, the Gold Coast and Perth. It does not inspect sailing yachts.
Service area: Sydney, Gold Coast and Perth; availability confirmed per booking
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.

Claim this listingA detailed cruising guide for sailors approaching Bruny Island from the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Storm Bay and the Tasman Sea. It describes the island’s maritime geography, seasonal wind and swell patterns, principal sailing zones, anchorages, visitor facilities, hazards, regulatory constraints and a set of practical sailing experiences tailored to trailer yachts, family cruisers and passagemakers. The guide links sheltered channel sailing with exposed southern-coast passages and offers realistic expectations of services ashore.
Before the season: confirm seaworthiness — hull, rig, engine, electrics, sails and safety gear — and replace or service wearable items. After the season: wash, dry and protect gear, service consumables and record what you did so the boat’s ready and reliable next season.

Look for consistent, verifiable detail across multiple photos and reviews, check timestamps, reviewer credibility and metadata where possible, and cross‑check with independent sources — treat overly perfect images or identical language with caution.

A good float plan and a well-stocked emergency kit significantly improve your chances of a safe outcome when cruising remote parts of South Australia’s coastline. The float plan should give someone ashore all the information they need to find you and raise help if you don’t return; the emergency kit should allow you to stabilise the boat, care for injuries, signal for rescue and survive until help arrives.
