Update January 1, 2020

The number of older vessels that are in the current boat "population" continues to grow. Experience shows that, without fail, there is a direct correlation between the age of the boat and effort required to survey it.

The older the boat, the longer and dirtier is the survey process and the longer the debriefing process at the end of the survey day. The older the boat, the longer the time spent typing the report and the more follow up with helping find repair facilities or repair personnel as well as comment on how we would suggest that the repairs be done.

If the boat has already been rehabilitated, the survey time is lengthened by trying to verify if the repairs have been accomplished in a workmanlike manner and if they are compliant with accepted standards and practices.

There is not one aspect of the survey process that is not impacted by the age of the boat. With that realization we charge an additional $2.00 per foot over our standard $18.00 per foot for boats over 20 years old and an additional $4.00 per foot for boats over 30 years old.

Boats over 40 years old will be quoted on an individual basis.
