Certified Master Marine Surveyor: Buzzards Bay & South Coast

An offshore fishing vessel underway off the Massachusetts South Coast

Comprehensive vessel surveying across the southern coastal boundary of the state. Mass Maritime Marine provides completely independent, uncompromised boat surveying services throughout the entire Buzzards Bay estuary system. Given the shifting sandbars, strong tidal flows, and heavy coastal usage of the area, powerboats and sailboats deserve a rigorous, detail-oriented condition assessment to protect both your safety and your financial investment.

With my background as an active-status USCG Licensed Master Mariner, I deliver an uncompromised, comprehensive report for making an informed decision about the vessel — a report accepted by banks for lending and by insurance underwriters. Our surveys are widely recognized and accepted by the National Marine Lenders Association (NMLA) and the American Institute of Marine Underwriters (AIMU).
