Experience
Over a decade in the marine industry as a technician, delivery captain, charter captain, and Nautic-Ed instructor before becoming a full-time surveyor. That hands-on background means he’s been the person actually fixing the things he now inspects — rigging, diesels, electrical systems, plumbing, fiberglass. He knows what good work looks like and what shortcuts look like, because he’s seen both from the inside.
Approach
Our surveys are thorough to the point of inconvenience. Lockers get emptied. Sole boards come up. Engine rooms get photographed from angles that require contortion. The report is written in precise, defensible language — structured the way lenders, insurers, and broker networks expect to see it.
Clients who want to know exactly what they’re buying, insuring, or claiming should get in touch.
Location & Service Area
Based in Fort Lauderdale, covering all of South Florida — Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Martin counties. Travel available for larger jobs throughout Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean.
