Services We Perform

Pre-Purchase Survey

This is the most common type of inspection, and is highly advised when purchasing a vessel. Condition and overall operation of the vessel should be examined. This covers structure, electrical systems, propulsion system, fuel system, navigation, on-board systems, overall appearance, electronics, and maintenance as well as an haul out of water inspection and a sea trial.

Insurance Survey

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

Appraisal Inspection

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.
