Marine Surveyor
"Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not." James Taylor
So, you've found it. You found your DREAM. You've made an Offer to Purchase and now it's time to kick the tires, put it through the turns, and look under the hood...and...get all that documented. Well, that's called a Marine Survey and we've got your back because that's what we do. We are your Yacht Surveyor.
We've been trained by the industry's finest including those who set industry standards for the design and manufacturing of pleasure craft. We've spent a lifetime playing and working on the water and like you, we're Dreamers too. We've bought and sold literally dozens of boats so, we definitely understand what you're up against. We've worked on boats having done everything from periodic maintenance, restorations, bottom jobs, and extensive fiberglass repair. We have even worked for some of the best-known boat manufacturers in the Carolinas. So we know a thing or two about boats both power and sail.
- No matter what you call it -- a Yacht, a Boat, a Watercraft--the process of making a purchase or just buying Insurance for the one you already have can be daunting. And you're going to need some kind of marine survey. Maybe you'll need a Pre-Purchase Survey, a Marine Insurance Survey, or a Marine Appraisal to value your boat before you sell or donate it. We do it all: Marine Surveys and Marine Inspections of all types.
- We provide services in Eastern North Carolina including New Bern, Oriental, Morehead City, Wilmington, the Outer Banks, and Raleigh. Coastal North Carolina is our home.
- In southeastern Virginia, we serve Tidewater and Hampton Roads including Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Hampton.
