WHY A MARINE SURVEY MATTERS

Purchasing a boat without a professional inspection can lead to expensive surprises. Hidden structural problems, moisture intrusion, electrical issues, and mechanical failures may not be visible during a casual inspection. A professional marine survey helps you:

✔ Identify structural issues before purchase
✔ Meet insurance and financing requirements
✔ Verify the vessel’s condition and safety
✔ Confirm fair market value.

Whether you are buying, selling, or insuring a vessel, a professional survey protects your investment and helps you make an informed decision.

MARINE SURVEY SERVICES

Pre-Purchase Surveys - The most comprehensive marine inspection performed when buying a boat. This survey evaluates the vessel’s structural integrity, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and overall condition. Buyers rely on this report to make informed purchasing decisions.

Insurance Surveys - Many insurance companies require a condition and valuation survey before issuing or renewing a policy. This survey documents the vessel’s current condition and identifies safety concerns.

Damage Surveys - Damage surveys evaluate vessels after accidents, storms, or other incidents to determine the extent and cause of damage.

Condition & Valuation Surveys - A condition and valuation survey provides documentation of a vessel’s current condition and estimated market value. This type of survey is often used for financing, estate documentation, or ownership transfers.

THE MARINE SURVEY PROCESS
A typical marine survey includes a thorough inspection of the vessel’s structure and systems.

Inspection areas include:
Hull and bottom structure
Deck and superstructure
Mechanical systems and engines
Electrical systems
Fuel systems
Plumbing and bilge systems
Navigation equipment
Safety equipment

Each survey includes a detailed written report with photographs and findings. Survey standards commonly reference guidance from professional organizations such as the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors, National Association of Marine Surveyors, and technical practices from the American Boat and Yacht Council.
