How I can help
The right survey, without the runaround.
I tailor each inspection to the vessel and your reason for the survey. You get a clear report, direct communication and an honest explanation of what matters.
Pre-Purchase Surveys
A detailed inspection of the vessel’s structure, systems, safety equipment, and general condition before purchase.

Condition and valuation reporting prepared to support insurance underwriting and renewal requirements.
Consultation Services
Let me help find the right boat for you.
Damage Surveys
Independent documentation of vessel damage, apparent cause, affected areas, and recommended repairs.
A personal approach
You'll know who is
surveying your boat.
When you call, you speak directly with me—the surveyor who will be inspecting your vessel. I take the time to understand what you are buying, what concerns you and what you need from the survey.
I inspect accessible structure, machinery, electrical, plumbing, safety equipment and installed systems, then walk you through the important findings without unnecessary jargon.
