Our Services
Pre-Purchase Surveys
If you are considering buying a boat, a Pre-Purchase Survey performed by
Coastwise Marine Surveyors will give you the confidence you need to
accurately assess the condition of the boat. A thorough survey,
including a clear report and our expert opinion on the market value of
the boat, strengthens your negotiation position with the seller, and
invariably saves money for our Clients.

Insurance Surveys
Insurance companies usually require an Insurance Survey (often referred
to as a Condition and Valuation Inspection or a Marine Risk Inspection),
in order to establish whether a boat is an acceptable insurance risk.
The scope of an Insurance Survey is similar to a Pre-Purchase Survey,
but the main focus of the report is on safety, structural integrity and
items that affect the market value of the boat.

Insurance Surveys.
Delivery Inspections
If you are taking delivery of a new boat from a boat builder or dealer,
it is advisable to have a Delivery Inspection performed before making
your last payment. Coastwise Marine Surveyors will provide you with a
detailed report with a punch list, so that you and the builder or dealer
know exactly what needs to be done before the last payment will be made
and title is transferred.
