Survey Services

Independent inspections and reports for buyers, owners, insurers and lenders.

Pre-Purchase Survey


The most complete inspection, strongly recommended before buying any new or used boat. It tells you what you are really buying and gives you facts to negotiate with.

  • Hull, deck and structural inspection, including percussion sounding
  • Moisture survey with grid-mapped Tramex readings
  • Propulsion, running gear, steering and controls (visual and operational)
  • Electrical (AC/DC), bonding, fuel, cooling, plumbing and through-hull fittings
  • Safety equipment and Transport Canada small-vessel requirements
  • Sea trial support (when arranged)
  • Fair market value and replacement cost

Engines: the survey includes a visual and operational check of the engines. A detailed mechanical inspection (compression, oil analysis) by a certified marine technician is recommended for larger or high-value vessels, and we can coordinate it.

Insurance Condition & Valuation (C&V) Survey


Required by many insurers for new policies or renewals on older boats. Focused on structural integrity, safety and the systems that matter for insurability.
