What is a Marine Survey?

A marine survey is a comprehensive inspection of your vessel with the purpose of determining its condition, value, and seaworthiness. The survey may be requested by your insurance provider or financial underwriters to determine condition and value.

 

Why do I need a Marine Survey?

The Surveyor will determine if your boat meets safety criteria set forth by The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), Federal Code of Regulations (FCR), and National Fire Protection Association (NPA). The findings uncovered by the inspection will determine the fair market value of the subject vessel and is often used as a negotiation tool.

How much does a Marine Survey cost?

Our rates depend on which service you require. The pre purchase survey often pays for itself when big ticket repairs are uncovered and open the door for renewed negotiations with the seller. Although we service all areas of Florida and Georgia, additional costs may apply for travel, and/or lodging if required. Rates listed below are for vessels up to 50 feet, and not older than 2010.
