ABOUT CLAYTON MARINE SURVEYS

Service. Integrity. Precision.

Most Clayton Marine Surveys clients are pre-purchase boat buyers. The value of a survey comes down to whether it gives you real leverage. A decade of hands-on work in the yacht maintenance industry (diesels, electrical, fiberglass, rigging, sails, plumbing) plus the formal credentials below produces a report you can take to closing, to a lender, to an insurer, or to a renegotiation. Precise, detailed, and structured the way these audiences expect to see it.

Reviews

We recently hired Clayton Marine Surveys to perform the pre-purchase survey of a sailing catamaran. From the initial phone call it was clear that Jack would provide an intelligent, evidence-based, and thorough survey, and he delivered that.

We have used Clayton Marine Surveys twice in the recent past. I can’t say enough positive things about this surveyor. While it is hard walking away from a boat after investing time and money, it helped having all the information we needed.

We have purchased many boats and completed marine surveys multiple times in our 35 years of boating. We used Clayton Marine Surveys on the purchase of our final retirement dream boat. They exceeded our expectations at every point.

We used Jack for our FP Lapari 41 purchase survey and could not be happier with his professionalism, thoroughness, and attention to detail. His expertise and knowledge of boats and their systems is nothing short of impressive.

Jack from Clayton Marine Surveys was very responsive, professional and thorough. They did not miss anything when they surveyed my boat.

Excellent service. Very thorough inspection. Was very knowledgeable and willing to share what he was finding and tips.
