Services Offered

Pre-Purchase Survey: We perform a detailed inspection of the vessel’s hull, above and below the waterline, and verify the operation of the engine and all the onboard systems. After completing the inspections and conducting a sea trial, we deliver a detailed report in a timely manner that includes a list of deficiencies and recommendations to help you make an informed decision and avoid unexpected repair costs.

Condition and Value Survey (C&V): An up-to-date assessment of your vessel’s condition and market value report essential for insurance, financing, estate, or tax purposes. Our reports adhere to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP) and are accepted by Insurance companies, financial institutions, and the IRS.

Infrared Thermography: Using an advanced FLIR  E95 thermal imaging camera, our ITC-trained Thermographer can detect hidden issues like moisture intrusion and electrical faults that may not be visible to the naked eye. See what can’t be seen!

First Look Inspection and Consulting: This custom service is tailored for our out-of-town buyers who want a walk-through of a boat they are considering buying. Before investing in a plane ticket or a full survey, we can take a look on your behalf. We can supply pictures, video, or just a verbal report; it’s really up to you.

Additional Services: We provide many additional services, such as corrosion, electrical, and damage surveys, commercial vessel inspections, and oil analysis. Call us, and we will discuss your specific needs.

Things To Do Along the Grand Strand

The Grand Strand encompasses over 60 miles of the South Carolina Coast, from Little River on the north to Georgetown in the south and Myrtle Beach in the center, and hosts over 20 million visitors yearly. If you do visit during your boat search, there is a plethora of nautical activities to take in. The Little River Fishing fleet and Crazy Sister Marina offer charter boat and Headboat fishing trips. Or spend the day at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach for a day of shopping and dining, or head to the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk for some fresh seafood the area is known for. For some rich maritime history, spend the day in Georgetown and visit the Rice Museum or the Maritime Museum on the Harborwalk, where you can also find some local waterfront eateries like the River Room, Between the Antlers, and Buzz’s Roost. The possibilities are endless.
