Is the survey report for your vessel more than three years old?

Are you purchasing the boat of your dreams?

Are you looking to finance the purchase of your new boat?

Are you changing insurance companies?

Have you used your propeller as a depth-sounder?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you likely need the services of a marine surveyor.

A boat is a complex piece of machinery; it is also your own little floating "island". When you purchase a new or new-to-you vessel, you are making a sizable investment not only financially but also in your recreation time, relaxation, quality of life, good times with friends and family, and your love of the sea.

A marine surveyor's report is a negotiating tool, a financing tool, a maintenance tool, and offers protection in the event of an insurance claim.

A marine survey report also offers peace of mind when you let the lines slip off the docking cleats.

Trust a surveyor who has made marine surveying his career, not his hobby.
