A marine survey is a visual inspection of the condition and operation of the vessels systems
A vessel has many systems that require maintenance and care. A careful visual inspection of the accessible components can help determine if the vessel has received proper maintenance or has been neglected. An inspection can include the following and more:
Hull and structure
Trim tabs, stabilizer, and thrusters
Thru-hull fittings condition and operation
Engines and transmission
LET US HELP YOU
In addition to these items, there is a host of many other systems and appurtenances that are unique to each vessel and may need inspection.
Many Insurance companies and banks require a marine survey to identify the vessels value and ensure its compliance with various safety guidelines as specified by ABYC, NFPA and Coast Guard regulations before issuing an insurance policy, or financing.
We Guarantee our surveys to be accepted by your bank and insurance underwriter. If our survey is rejected due to the quality or limitations of the report, simply have the underwriter (not the agent or broker) forward us a letter on company letter head stating the reason for the rejection, and the survey fee will be promptly refunded.
