Eight Bells

Location: East Lyme, CT 06357

My name is Chris Cooper and I live my life on the water.

I have my USCG 100-GRT Captain's License and am a Certified Instructor with the American Sailing Association (ASA) for monohulls and catamarans. I have more than 10,000 nautical miles of offshore sailing experience, including an Atlantic crossing. I can confidently sail your boat, and I can teach you to do the same.



I am your go-to guy for getting you on the water in your own boat, from private lessons to boat deliveries to Surveys.



A note about the name of my company, Eight Bells:



As a U.S. Naval Academy alum and 26-year Navy veteran who was qualified to command nuclear-powered submarines, I have great respect and love of nautical traditions. A nautical clock divides the day into 4-hour shifts (known as ‘watches’) with 1 bell added for each -hour of a 4-hour watch: 8:30 = 1 bell, 9:00 = 2 bells, 9:30 = 3 bells … 12:00 = 8 bells; the clock rings 8 bells at 4:00, 8:00, and 12:00 (am & pm). When you hear Eight Bells, you know your shift has ended and it is time to relax.



I created Eight Bells to help you relax at the end of your workday.

“Great team of knowledgeable guys. Did a very thorough survey on a 61 Princess I was buying and found all sorts of things that I'm sure the average surveyor would miss, including a section of wet deck that will be pricey to repair. Reasonably priced and very good communication. Got the report back in 24 hours.“

Marine Surveyor FAQs

What does a marine surveyor do?

A marine surveyor is a trained professional who inspects boats and yachts to assess their condition, safety, and value. They provide detailed reports that are often required for buying or selling a vessel, obtaining insurance, or meeting regulatory requirements.

When should I hire a marine surveyor?

You should hire a marine surveyor whenever you’re purchasing a used boat, renewing insurance, after major repairs or modifications, or if you simply want an expert evaluation of your boat’s current condition and value.

What types of surveys can a marine surveyor perform?

Marine surveyors typically offer several types of surveys including pre-purchase surveys, insurance surveys, appraisal surveys, and damage surveys. Each survey is tailored to a specific need—whether it’s determining fair market value or assessing damage after an incident.

How long does a marine survey take?

The time depends on the size and complexity of the vessel. On average, a standard pre-purchase marine survey can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, with a detailed report delivered within a few days.

How much does a marine survey cost?

Costs vary based on the boat’s size, type, and the scope of the survey. Most marine surveyors charge a per-foot rate, typically ranging from $20 to $30 per foot, plus additional fees for haul-outs or specialized inspections.

Will a marine surveyor sea trial the boat?

Many pre-purchase surveys include a sea trial where the marine surveyor tests the boat on the water to evaluate its performance, handling, and onboard systems. Be sure to confirm whether a sea trial is included before booking.

Do I need a marine survey for boat insurance?

Most insurance companies require a current marine survey to underwrite or renew a boat insurance policy, especially for older vessels. The survey helps them understand the boat’s condition and risk factors.

How do I choose the right marine surveyor?

Look for a surveyor who is accredited by organizations like SAMS (Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors) or NAMS (National Association of Marine Surveyors), has experience with your type of boat, and provides sample reports for review.
