Our goal is to find and report problems before they cost the client money or compromise the safety of the crew or vessel. Survey services include:
• Pre-Purchase
• Insurance
• Engine Evaluation
• Thermal Imaging
• Sea Trials
• Oil Analysis

A pre-purchase survey is the most extensive type of condition and value survey and is strongly advised when purchasing a new or used vessel. This type of survey can also be used for financing and insuring a vessel. The structural integrity of the vessel's hull, decks, and superstructure are all thoroughly inspected, as well as the cosmetic appearance. The vessel's systems (such as the propulsion, electrical, fuel, navigation, sanitation, safety, and communication systems) and the maintenance condition are assessed. Examination can be conducted by many different non-destructive means including visual examination, percussive sounding, moisture metering, and infrared thermal imaging to find voids, delamination, previous repairs, water in the hull, or rotten core. A sea trial and a haul out for bottom and running gear inspection will be performed. Engine diagnostic tests and oil analysis can be performed upon request. A complete hull and engine survey will help to determine the condition and estimated value of a boat so that an informed decision on a purchase can be made.
