Oceanside Marine Surveyors

This is a comprehensive inspection, and is strongly advised when purchasing a new or used vessel. We make every effort to provide the finished survey report on the following business day. This inspection covers structural integrity, as well as all on-board systems: propulsion, mechanical, electrical, tankage and plumbing, electronics, galley, rigging, safety, miscellaneous deck equipment, and overall level of maintenance. The boat should be clean and with all personal gear removed. Lockers should be emptied to provide easy access to all areas of the boat.

We make every effort to have the survey report available the next business day. Our surveys include an easily referenced list of all issues found, our recommendations, and the fair-market valuation of the vessel. Photos taken during the survey are included throughout the report. More information and a sample survey can be found in survey info.

Andy Schwenk has crossed the pond to Hawaii and back 54 times. His first trip, back in 1982, required celestial navigation and RDF when you "got close enough to smell it." Growing up in Anacortes, WA he worked for charter companies running power and sail boats throughout the American San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands.
