I had a great experience with Jeff from Ocean Marine Surveyors. He did the pre-purchase survey of my 1984 Islander Bahama 30, Carol Marie, in July 2022. He arrived twenty minutes early and was very professional. He also came out on only … More a few day’s notice. Jeff did a review of all of the systems on the boat and prepared a three tiered report on the findings with comments as well as a separate survey for the insurer. I felt that the price he arrived at was fair and very close to what I’d worked out with the seller. He also provided the survey and report in a very timely manner. The survey was on a Friday and I had the survey and report on Monday, which was critical as far as getting insurance and slip applications finished up on time. I highly recommend Jeff and Ocean Marine Surveyors if you have the need for a survey. -

Pre-Purchase Surveys
A boat or ocean vessel can be one of the most expensive purchases you will make. Let us help you with your decision.
Damage Assessments
Determining the level of damage is critical to any inspection. We can help ensure you have an accurate assessment.
Insurance Surveys
We identify the vessel, its equipment, condition and general value while inspecting for defects and damages. Let us help you make smart underwriting decisions.
Marine Vessel Appraisals
Vessel appraisals consist of an inspection and report designed to provide you with thoroughly researched fair market value.
Cargo Damage Reports
Cargo and container surveys are performed to determine the extent and cause of the damage during transport.
Sea Trials
The goal of any sea trial is to test the propulsion systems and controls in real-life conditions. Sea trials are important as vessels cannot be thoroughly assessed while inside a marina.
