What We Do
Ocean Marine Surveyors is proud to offer clients the most accurate, impartial, and confidential marine survey and consulting services in Southern California.
Pre-Purchase Surveys
A pre-purchase survey requires examining every facet of the boat without a tear down. The process prioritizes the most important aspects of the boat including all major systems. The more experienced, qualified, and educated a surveyor is, the higher quality of work that you will receive.
Surveys involve three major steps.
- Static in water inspection
- Haul out to inspect the underbody
- Sea trial

Insurance surveys are conducted to determine marine risk and value of a vessel, and are often used for re-insurance of vessel.
