Yes. It’s Easy to Arrange for one of our Surveyors…
We prepared this website so you can enjoy a very simple and easy system of arranging your marine survey. It includes the ability for you, our prospective client, to review our surveyor’s qualifications, review samples of our previous marine survey reports, and understand our work agreement.
Our Goal During the Survey…
Our goal is to find and report problems and issues before they can cost you money or compromise the safety of your crew or vessel. A qualified marine surveyor will know where and how to look for potential problems. We heavily advise that you do not buy any vessel without an independent expert survey and appraisal.
Important Things to Think About…
A detailed marine survey of a new or used boat positions you, the buyer, in the advantaged situation of being able to bargain the sale price or for the repair/restoration work needed prior to a purchase. This typically amounts to thousands of dollars in savings, and more frequently than not, displaces the cost of the survey. In addition, the information contained within the survey is of great importance and value to a new owner.
