Marine Surveyor's perform inspections of boats for pre-purchase, insurance renewal, estate condition & value, etc. I am a member of the Association of Certified Marine Surveyors. I'm a certified technician with the American Boat & Yacht Council. I've represented you & your boat to nearly every finance & insurance company. I'm approved by BoatUS, etc..

In addition to normal yacht / boat surveys, I do metal thickness testing & thermal imaging. I also am certified to create reports on storage containers, as in the shipping containers used for cross-ocean trips.

I live at Lake of the Ozarks and will travel wherever necessary as long as you pay my time and travel expense.

I've worked for several over-seas firms, both for vessel condition and also insurance claims.

Each year, more than 10% of my surveys are performed for people that won't see their boat until it arrives at their Marina.

My family has been surveying boats since 1964. Dad taught metallurgy classes to insurance adjusters so they would know whether the ear of a prop broke off because it hit something or was fatigued.

“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.
