**Our Services**

**Pre-Purchase Surveys**

If you are considering buying a boat, a Pre-Purchase Survey performed by Coastwise Marine Surveyors LLC 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.

**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 LLC 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.
