Arranging a Survey Is Effortless
Our website is designed to make the process of scheduling your marine survey straightforward and user-friendly. It provides you, the prospective client, with the opportunity to assess our surveyor’s qualifications, peruse samples of our prior marine survey reports, and review our work agreement.
Our Surveying Objectives
A detailed marine survey, whether for a new or used boat, positions you, the prospective buyer, strategically. It empowers you to negotiate the sale price or budget for necessary repairs or restoration work before making a purchase. In most cases, the cost of the survey is easily offset by the thousands of dollars in savings it can yield. Furthermore, the invaluable information contained within the survey report greatly benefits new owners.
Our Outstanding Qualifications
A detailed marine survey of a new or used boat places you, the prospective buyer, in the advantageous position of being able to bargain the sale price or for the repair/restoration work needed before a purchase. This typically amounts to thousands of dollars in savings, and more often than not, offsets the cost of the survey. In addition, the information contained within the survey is of huge value to a new owner.
