Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend that you be there to open any locks and give me permission to board and inspect. The survey can run anywhere from 2 to 10 hours depending on the size of the vessel and 2 to 8 hours in the office to thoroughly prepare the survey report. Larger yachts and commercial vessels may take me 2-3 days to conduct a thorough physical survey.
I welcome all clients to be present, and I have no problem explaining as I conduct the survey.
The boat must be plugged into shore power, all batteries hooked up, charged and installed. All manuals, maintenance log, receipts, registration, USCG Documentation Papers, and a copy of the previous survey must be onboard. If a sailboat, masts and spars must be moved to ground level. Additionally, Please provide the Buyer / Owner/ Brokers’s Name, Mailing and E-mail address, Phone Number as well as the Make and Model of Vessel, HIN (Hull Identification Number), specific location of vessel and mast if un-stepped, and notes pertaining to access of the vessel.
IMPORTANT: Prior to any survey please ensure the vessel is clean and clear of any personal effects, gear, oil / water in bilge, furniture or other items which might block access or vision. The vessel will be surveyed as found, and only to the extent of what can be seen, what is accessible and what is limited.
