Frequently Asked Questions
for a Marine Surveyor

A marine survey is a detailed report to determine the vessel’s value, condition and seaworthiness based upon it’s current hull and systems. There are different type of surveys: pre-purchase, insurance or finance, damage and claims, and appraisals. A survey is helpful when selling or buying vessels. It is a helpful document when setting prices and showing that the boat passes inspection and is safe on and off the water. Some financial institutions or insurance agencies will require a marine survey.

The process of surveying a boat may take a few hour to go into depth of thoroughly inspecting the current condition of he boat and if the systems are functioning as designed. Once the in-person inspection is over, you will receive it in a timely manner.

I service the greater Delmarva area. That means I am available anywhere in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia for any and all marine needs from surveying, to chartering to delivery.

Certainly! I do offer boat delivery and transportation services. If you are needing to transport your boat to a service center, marina, or your buyer, I can ensure your vessel gets there in a timely manner.

We would be happy to teach you proper boating safety and navigation. Just like driving a new car, each new boat has different systems and driving feel. There may be new devices, different storage areas, and essential technology and systems that you need to learn before feeling comfortable to drive around yourself, your friends or your family without assistance.
