Marine Surveys & Pre-Purchase Inspections on Long Island
We work on boats every day, so we know what to look for.
We own and maintain the world's largest database of "Common Problems" by make, model and year, 1932–present. So even before we get to your boat we preview issues that may be of concern with that model. In addition, we thermal-image the hull, decks, hull sides and transom looking for delamination and moisture issues.

What we inspect on every survey
A Professional Marine Surveyor on Long Island
Before we even get to the boat you are looking to buy, we can compile a list of "Common Issues" for that specific make, model, and year boat.
We check all running gear and the entire hull for previous repairs
We look for hidden damage on land. Then the boat goes in the water and we sea-trial it with a specific set of tests to uncover possible issues.
Electronics, Mechanical and Electrical Systems
All components are checked. We then write a comprehensive survey report with boat condition and current value estimate.
Insurance and Re-Insurance Surveys
We offer marine surveying and consulting services. Fast, affordable insurance surveys by a Certified Marine Surveyor.
