A personal approach

You speak with the surveyor who will inspect the boat.

When you call, you reach me. I take the time to understand what you are buying, what concerns you, and what you need from the survey.

I inspect accessible structure, machinery, electrical, plumbing, safety equipment and installed systems, then walk you through the important findings without unnecessary jargon.
