What is a Marine Surveyor?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A Marine Surveyor<\/strong> is a licensed individual with\u2002experience inspecting boats and ships to ensure that we will hold up structurally, and mechanically, and are seaworthy. Whether you\u2019re buying a sailboat, yacht, or fishing boat, their knowledge is\u2002essential to detecting potential problems. A Marine Surveyor provides in-depth\u2002reports that pinpoint the areas that need to be fixed, giving you all the information you need before you purchase.<\/p>\n

Why Do\u2002You Need Pre-Purchase Surveys?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A\u2002marine pre-purchase survey is an in-depth inspection of the boat, its condition, safety equipment, and compliance with maritime standards. The survey includes all the essential components of a boat:\u2002hull, deck, engine, electrical systems, and plumbing. If you are planning to buy a boat, having a pre-purchase survey<\/a><\/em> <\/strong>done by an experienced\u2002Marine Surveyor tells whether the boat is worth the price or if any repairs or upgrades are needed.<\/p>\n

This keeps you\u2002from getting hit with an unexpected repair bill or worse, safety issues. Purchasers save and make sound decisions\u2002through pre-acquisition, and acquisition surveys.<\/p>\n

Sea Trials: Testing the\u2002Waters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An\u2002important step of the buying process is the Sea Trials. It is essentially a vessel test drive, executed on the water to assess\u2002said aquatics performance. As part of Sea Trials, the Marine Surveyor looks for things such as engine vibration,\u2002steering response, the operation of equipment aboard, etc.<\/p>\n

This practical run shows you whether or not the boat can execute in everyday life, and confirms\u2002whether it lives up to your level of expectation.\u00a0A\u00a0pre-purchase survey<\/span>\u00a0and Sea Trials<\/a><\/em><\/strong> provide you with a complete\u2002picture of the vessel\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n
