Marine Surveyor

Mass Maritime Marine SurveyorOur expertise comes by way of United States Coast Guard Licensed Officers who hold the highest of licenses (Unlimited Masters and Chief Engineers). Well educated and trained, using the highest of standards, pride and responsibility is provided during each and every survey of a yacht, boat, or recreational vessel as a whole (pre-purchasing, insurance, appraisal, claims adjusting, recovery, brokering). Our professionalism and experience allows us to offer support in the areas of shipping, cargo handling, claims and inspections, vetting of vessel safety and security operations, hull and machinery inspections, casualty, accident investigations and litigation support. Furthermore, we can provide assistance with vessel documentation, developing vessel response plans as they pertain to fire, environmental and security matters aboard ships, yachts, barges, facilities and marinas.

Boat surveys & appraisals of recreational boats, luxury yachts, both power, and sail. Also providing surveys for cargo to be loaded or cargo that was damaged.  Investigation surveys.  Serving both the private and commercial sector .

Regardless of the affiliation or society to which a surveyor claims to be a member of, the most important features to look for in a surveyor is someone who has a set of trained eyes and an open mind. Your surveyor(s) should understand and be able to test service systems,  electrical systems, engine(s), and aux equipment.  The surveyor should know and understand how cargo is handled and the chain of custody in order to make sure that you interests are represented.  When your survey tells you that something “appears” to be in a certain condition, your paying for guess work that you could have performed yourself.  You want to hear a valued opinion and not a guess.
