  From the moment I blindly called and got Tanya the service was amazing. I told her what my needs were for my new yacht and she walked me through the process. She was impressively knowledgeable about my style and year of yacht and asked … More probing questions that made me critically think about my needs. It was wonderful. She was attentive and well informed. She scheduled me with George. Once George arrived on the day of service, it just got even better! He arrived and instantly put us at ease. He was very familiar with my yacht and did a very detailed inspection. He explained his steps and helped me to understand any potential concerns. He had questions, but he asked them in a way that was not threatening or intimidating. Remember, when he arrived I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw he was genuinely trying to educate me on what I needed. He is very smart, so every question we had he was able to answer and we learned so much that day. We received our very detailed 25 page report in a day and a half. It was easy to understand and because he had educated us so much during the inspection, nothing was a surprise. It’s weird to say that an inspection was a pleasure, but it was! I highly recommend this company for your survey needs.

• Garrett Seibert ★★★★★ 7 months ago
  I was in a tight time crunch to get a pre purchase boat survey done. Ocean Marine Surveyors had an open slot for me only 4 days after initial contact. My surveyor Jeff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and produced a report for me in less … More than 48 hrs after the survey, which helped to expedite the sale. I would have no problem recommending their services in the future. Pricing is competitive and final product is top notch. Thanks OMS!!

• Ian ★★★★★ 8 months ago
  Having not dealt with ocean freight before, we needed a seaworthy certificate as soon as possible, once our shipping forwarder notified us that one was required. After a bit of searching in the Arizona area and finding only marine surveyors … More that handled boats and not shipping containers, I happened upon Ocean Marine Surveyors in the interest of potentially getting this done at the port or having someone fly out to certify the container.George answered the request and coordinated a next-day flight to Phoenix to get our container certified for ocean transit. George was upfront, friendly, and professional. The entire certification process was thorough and went smoothly - he even provided additional instructions to ensure that the container was properly labeled with the necessary identification.
• Amanda Meeks ★★★★★ 8 months ago
  Ocean Marine Surveyors exceeded all expectations during my first boat purchase experience. Jeff's dedication to detail was evident in the final report, which was not only thorough but also included clear recommendations and incredibly … More detailed pictures. As a first-time boat buyer, this process was essential for me to fully understand what I was getting into. Thanks to Jeff's comprehensive analysis, I was able to identify potential risks and necessary repairs that I hadn't considered. Because of the detailed report, I ultimately decided not to buy the boat, which saved me from making a costly mistake. The OMS team's commitment to quality and excellence is truly appreciated, and I will definitely be using them again for my next potential boat purchase. Highly recommended!

• Gilles Beauvais ★★★★★ 9 months ago
  I had a pre-purchase survey performed in Long Beach by Ocean Marine Surveyors on July 16, 2024 for a 53' monohull and they did not disappoint.I did appreciate their most practical and common sense approach they take with their surveys. … More Their style and work ethic was quite impressive.My surveyor Mark Davenport, had great practical/professional insights which were invaluable in moving forward with my boat buying process.Mark also found some serious deficiencies that had been missed by a different surveyor company on this boat in a previous 2023 sale. These new deficiencies were all addressed by the seller.He also provided the two separate comprehensive survey formats which was nice and gives the buyer flexibility on sharing etc.I am happy to report that with Mark's aid, we were able to get a final acceptance agreement and have closed on the deal.It was an absolute pleasure to work with surveyor Mark and George (owner) on this biggest boat purchase of mine.I have to say, everyone at Ocean Marine Surveyors did excel in delivering great and efficient customer service.I was very glad to have had these folks in my corner on this boat buy.Cheers,Gilles Beauvais - Canada

  George at Ocean Marine Surveyors came through for me when my insurance company gave me a cancellation notice that required a survey to reinstate. He was able to accommodate my schedule in a quick turnaround and provide a detailed report … More that satisfied the insurance company and gave me a road map for future maintenance. Enjoyed the interaction.
• Michael Gaines ★★★★★ 9 months ago
  My insurance company tried to be a typical insurance company and pull a fast one in order to cancel my policy I've had for 17 years! I needed a valuation and condition survey completed, a report written and sent to them by the end … More of the next business day. George and his team at Ocean Marine Surveyors were incredibly efficient and had everything completed with time to spare the following day!!! The insurance company was given everything they asked for, in the last minute time frame they asked for it. My policy was renewed and I didn't have to sweat trying to find a brand new policy and being uninsured for who knows how long, AND paying probably 3 times my normal premium. It just reminded me that insurance companies are all crooks! Thanks to folks like George and OMS, they didn't win this time... "the little guy" did!!!I'll be happy to use Ocean Marine Surveyors for any future needs, thanks to their extra effort, knowledge and professionalism...Michael Gaines

• TA Lyon ★★★★★ 11 months ago
  George was prompt, patient and seemed very knowledgeable. He is very personable and did not mind at all that I followed him around like a puppy dog asking him questions as he crawled around the boat. And when we found the boats house … More batteries were dead with no access to AC (on a mooring ball), he took it in stride, waiting until we were able to connect to AC at the haul out….which also got delayed due to low tide. Like I say, George remained patient through the whole day. And he turned the survey repot around in two days.
• eric sim ★★★★★ 11 months ago

  George is a lifesaver, I have a wooden 1971 Grand Banks Classic that marinas do not want in their marina, because of other bad experiences.

Now marinas are much more accepting of letting me dock my boat pretty much anywhere! Thanks George!
