There are two types of marine surveys- PrePurchase and Insurance (also called Condition and Valuation). Whichever you need, having an experienced marine surveyor inspect your vessel and report defects or safety issues is a critical part of protecting your investment. Whether you have a small Sea Ray or a large motorsailor, take advantage of my 30 years of experience and avoid costly mistakes.
If you are dealing with a broker, remember that a broker only gets paid if a sale goes through. So if they refer you to surveyor that they "recommend" how likely is that surveyor to do a soft versus a hard survey? This is why the majority of my clients find me directly, and avoid broker referrals. Frankly I prefer it that way.
