Certified Master Marine Surveyor: Rhode Island Border & Narragansett Bay

Narragansett Bay is one of the busiest brokerage markets in the Northeast, and a great many of the boats listed here are bought by people who live somewhere else. Purchasing a vessel two or three states away — sight-unseen, on the word of the broker selling it — is exactly the situation where an independent surveyor earns his fee. From the Sakonnet River and the East Bay yards of Tiverton and Bristol down to the luxury docks of Newport, I come to the boat on your behalf and report only to you.

I deliver uncompromised, comprehensive reports that look out exclusively for your interests, your safety, and your peace of mind — whether you are buying, insuring, or renewing coverage. As a USCG Licensed Master Mariner, I give the bank and the underwriter the documentation they require, and I give you the plain-language answer to the only question that matters: is this the right boat, at the right price, in the condition it was represented to be? My detailed surveys are widely recognized and accepted by the National Marine Lenders Association (NMLA) and the American Institute of Marine Underwriters (AIMU).
