Our Marine Survey Services
Pre-Purchase Surveys
A pre-purchase survey provides an independent assessment of the vessel before you commit to the purchase. We examine the vessel's structure, systems, machinery, electrical components, safety equipment and other accessible areas, identifying conditions that may affect safety, value, reliability or future maintenance. Know what you're buying before you buy it.
Condition & Valuation Surveys
Whether you're evaluating your own vessel, refinancing, establishing market value or simply want to understand the current condition of your boat, a condition and valuation survey provides an independent assessment of the vessel.
Insurance/Damage & Claim Surveys
Insurance companies often require a current survey to establish the condition and value of a vessel. When damage occurs, determining the extent and likely cause of the damage is important. We can provide an independent assessment of the affected areas to help document the vessel's condition and support the repair and claims process.
Marine Vessel Inspections
Need an experienced set of eyes on a vessel? Inspections can be tailored to your specific requirements, whether you're concerned about a particular system, condition, machinery, structural issue or general vessel condition.
