What to Expect

A Straightforward Survey Process

Good surveying is thorough. The process should still be easy for the client to understand.

01

Tell us about the boat

Provide the vessel, location, survey type and timing so the assignment can be scoped properly.

02

Inspection and testing

Accessible structures, machinery and systems are examined, with haul-out and sea trial coordination when applicable.

03

Clear discussion

Material findings are explained in practical language so you understand their significance before the written report.

04

Written report

You receive organized findings, photographs, recommendations and valuation information appropriate to the assignment.
