Welcome to NAG Consulting

NAG Consulting is an independent yacht survey and technical consultancy delivering pre-purchase surveys, condition assessments, refit supervision and expert technical reporting across yachts — backed by discreet, precise UHNW client management.

Surveys icon

Surveys & Technical Reporting

Pre-purchase surveys, condition assessments and expert technical reporting across yachts up to 80 metres — clear, actionable insight for every stakeholder.

Client relations icon

UHNW Client & Owner Relations

Discreet coordination across brokers, captains, legal and financial stakeholders, built on years managing principals' interests in UHNW environments.

Our Difference

Most surveyors work alone. NAG Consulting pairs technical expertise with dedicated client management, a rare combination in this industry.

Engineer and client manager icon

One Engineer, one Client Manager.

Giacomo brings the rigor of naval engineering, drawing on his experience at Azimut Benetti and his expertise in FEM, CFD, and CAD software. Victoria brings 8+ years of UHNW client management. Most firms offer only one side of this — rarely both.

Team icon

A Team on Your Side

Not a surveyor who disappears or lets timelines slip after the inspection. From the first call to the final report, someone is coordinating brokers, captains, and all stakeholders on your behalf, while keeping you constantly informed of every development throughout the process.

Speed icon

Built for Speed

A clear commitment to responsiveness — fast initial response and a firm reporting timeline, so a survey never becomes the bottleneck in your transaction.

Our Philosophy

Our clients deserve independent judgment, clear communication, and precision they can rely on, nothing less.

Trust icon

Trust & Independence

Our reputation is built on the trust of our clients, independent judgment, free of conflicts of interest, on every assignment.

Detailed, transparent reporting and proactive communication throughout, so clients always know exactly where they stand.
