Expert Pre-Purchase Marine Inspection Miami for Boats & Yachts

Commissioning a Miami pre-purchase inspection before you buy a boat can save you from expensive post-sale repairs and protect your position in the negotiation. But it has to be two things: thorough and honest.

Do you need an unbiased second opinion? Our marine boat survey experts in Miami can put the facts you need in your hands.

Our job isn’t to talk you into or out of a deal — it’s to show you what’s really there, so that you have a clear idea of what should factor into your decision. Book our pre-purchase marine survey in Miami if you want to find out whether the vessel you’re about to buy is in the kind of condition you expect at that price point.

What will happen during a Miami pre-purchase boat inspection?

We don’t inspect every boat the same way and instead adjust our Miami pre-purchase inspections based on how the boat is built and how it’s been used. We anticipate where damage or stress is likely to be found, given the vessel’s age and construction, and we look more closely in those areas.

During the inspection, we examine the hull and all mission-critical systems, along with overlooked details that could affect the boat’s safety and insurability. We use only non-invasive tools such as moisture meters and percussion sounding.

To protect the vessel and maintain survey integrity, we don’t tear down engines or take anything apart that could cause damage. We’ll tell you directly if we think something needs a closer look from a mechanic or another specialist.

What will my pre-purchase report contain?

You will receive a thorough and to-the-point report after we conclude your pre-purchase marine survey in Miami. All reports have:

Plain-language summaries

Clear photo documentation

Direct notes/annotations on anything that raises safety or compliance concerns

We can also add valuation details if you request for them.

Depending on the type of vessel and the purpose of the inspection, we will reference USCG, ABYC, CFR, and NFPA standards where relevant. Your report will meet the expectations of brokers and insurance underwriters commonly reviewing marine boat survey in Miami documentation.
