Areas of Experience


Pre-purchase condition & value

This is the most comprehensive type of survey inspection. It is strongly recommended when purchasing a new or used vessel. The condition and overall operation of the vessel should be examined. This covers structural integrity, electrical systems, propulsion system, fuel systems, other machinery, navigation equipment, miscellaneous onboard systems, cosmetic appearance, electronics, and overall maintenance, as well as an out-of-the-water inspection.


damage inspection

This inspection is performed in order to assess the cause, nature and extent of the damage to the vessel. An unbiased estimate evaluation is performed at the customer’s request. Salvage consultation on-site can be performed in the event of fire or sinking.


insurance survey

This inspection is performed so that the insurance company can determine whether or not the vessel is an acceptable risk. Insurance companies are interested in structural integrity and safety for the intended use. Most insurance companies require a survey on older boats. In addition, they will want to know the vessel’s fair market value.

appraisal

This inspection is performed to gather enough information to justify or determine the fair market value of the vessel. This is normally needed for financing, estate settlements, donations and legal cases.

If you boat a lot, you’re known as a boating enthusiast. I like to boat, but I just don’t want to ever be referred to as a boating enthusiast. I hope they call me a guy who likes to boat.
