Marine Surveying

Independent yacht and sailboat surveys that help you understand the vessel before you buy, insure, repair, or move forward.

The Experience

Protect Your Investment Before You Commit

A yacht can look exceptional at first glance, but the details beneath the surface matter. A marine survey gives you a clearer understanding of the vessel’s condition, safety, systems, and potential concerns before you make a major decision.

Rick Rodriguez brings practical sailing, surveying, and hands-on yacht knowledge to the process, helping you move forward with better information and fewer surprises.

How We Can Help

Clear, Practical Marine Surveying Support

Get honest insight before you buy, insure, repair, or evaluate a vessel.

Pre-Purchase Surveys

Understand the condition of a yacht or sailboat before you buy. A pre-purchase survey helps identify visible concerns, safety issues, systems observations, and practical details that may affect your decision.

Damage & Condition Surveys

Get a clearer record of visible damage, storm impact, accident concerns, or specific vessel issues. These surveys can support repair planning, insurance conversations, and ownership decisions.

Insurance Surveys

Document the vessel’s condition, safety equipment, and overall suitability for coverage. Insurance surveys help provide the information insurers often need for larger, older, or higher-value boats.

Marine Consultation

Have questions before or after a full survey? Rick can help you think through vessel concerns, repairs, valuation questions, survey findings, and whether a boat is worth pursuing further.
