What is a Marine Survey?

 

A Marine Survey is an in-depth examination of your boat, conducted to assess its overall condition, value, and seaworthiness. Often, marine surveys are requested by insurance providers or financial underwriters to gauge the vessel's condition and valuation.

The Surveyor examines:  Structural Integrity, Electrical Systems, Propulsion, Steering, Engine Performance, Fuel System, Navigation Equipment, Electronics, Sanitation, Safety Equipment and Cosmetics. 

 

Why do I need a Marine Survey?

 

A Marine Surveyor determines 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 a Marine Surveyor will determine the true 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 Marine Survey service you require. The Pre Purchase Survey often pays for itself when expensive repairs are uncovered and opens the door for renewed negotiations with the seller. Rates listed below are for vessels up to 50 feet, and not older than 2010. Travel fees do not apply to the Daytona Beach area.

Pre Purchase Survey: $22 - $26 per foot ($650 minimum)

Insurance & Appraisal Survey: $18 - $22 per foot ($650 minimum)

Consulting: $175/hour (2-hour minimum)

Oil Analysis: $75/per sample

Chris and his assistant were great, it was my first time needing a marine survey and they were able to guide me through the process like a expert captain guides is ship back home. Tamara that answers the phone was able to work with my schedule and Chris was prompt professional and extremely knowledgeable. The report met all of my lenders needs and I feel at ease knowing that there are no unknown mechanical or structural issues with the boat. 10:10 would book again.

Very polite and professional from the 1st phone call to completion of the survey. Being from out state I was unable to be present for the survey. Chris worked with the seller conducted the survey and gave me a brief but thorough overview on the phone followed by a very detailed written report with an abundance of photos. The information provided was essential in the negotiation and decision to purchase the boat. Money well spent. Thank you
