SUPER YACHTS

ONWARD MARINE brings a depth of superyacht experience that is uncommon in the Australian marine surveying market. With two decades spent working at the highest levels of the global yachting industry, Dom O’Donnell offers clients a practical, inside understanding of how large vessels are built, operated, maintained, and assessed against international standards.

Holding an MCA Master 3000gt Certificate of Competency and formal qualifications through leading European and UK institutions, Dom has worked extensively across major superyacht regions including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the United States. This global exposure underpins a surveying approach that is aligned with international best practice, not just local expectations.

Dom has been directly involved in a range of new build and refit projects, contributing to vessels such as:

— 60m CRN Darlings Danama

— 26m Custom Line

— 35m Majesty 110

— 40m Altavita

— 41m Seed

This hands-on experience within shipyards provides a detailed understanding of construction standards, materials, and the complexities of delivering and maintaining high-value vessels.

In addition, ONWARD MARINE draws on extensive experience conducting and supporting:

— Flag and Class surveys (including 5- and 10-year renewals)

— Port State inspections

— International Safety Management (ISM) auditing and consultancy

This background translates into a clear advantage for clients. Every survey is informed by a deep knowledge of what constitutes a well-maintained, compliant, and professionally operated vessel — not just in theory, but in practice across some of the world’s most demanding marine environments.

From the Mediterranean and Atlantic crossings to operations in Florida and the Caribbean, ONWARD MARINE brings a global standard of insight to every vessel it assesses.
