Pre-purchase surveys

A condition and value survey helps you understand a vessel's condition, identify issues, and make an informed purchasing decision. 

Insurance surveys

Whether you are arranging coverage or renewing an existing policy, Terry provides condition and value surveys for insurance purposes. Contact him to discuss your insurer's requirements.

Boat appraisals and marine consulting

Terry also provides vessel appraisals and advice on boat repairs, refits, and renovation projects.

Appointments are available at Ventura Harbor, Channel Islands Harbor, Santa Barbara Harbor, and other locations. Travel to Los Angeles, including Marina del Rey and Long Beach, and further south to San Diego can be arranged when scheduling allows.
