Marine Surveys by Sea Wise, Inc., Edward G. Shaffer, SAMS® SA®

Why Get A Marine Survey?


When looking at a boat, a person can get caught up in the excitement and thrill of buying a new boat. Anticipation of the adventures to follow can cloud the judgment of a buyer. A Marine Surveyor is hired to be an objective eye for a prospective buyer or an insurance or finance company, to establish a current condition and value of the vessel.

A surveyor reports what he finds on the vessel in all accessible areas at the time of the survey. The surveyor inspects the hull, structure and all systems. A comprehensive report is then compiled with details on the findings, recommendations, fair market value and replacement cost of the boat.

A marine survey is an absolutely essential step in the boat buying process.
