We Know Boats
Our surveys mean quality and value in creating a tailored survey to meet specific requirements. One size does not fit all when it comes to surveys. While a majority of our work involves pre-purchase, insurance, valuation, and damage surveys, our clients have come to rely on our knowledge on our technical, operation, and market details of a vessel. Please see our Services page and rate schedule for more details.
We provide the highest level of customer service with the integrity demanded by this profession. There is no substitute for experience in the highly detailed and objective observations that are the hallmark of a quality survey. We take pride in our ability to work well with individual boat owners as well as insurance underwriters. That translates into the job done right at a cost-effective price.
Home Port & Service Area
Our survey area covers all of Western Lake Superior. Our local area includes Duluth/Superior, Grand Portage, Bayfield, Ashland, the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, and the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, including Houghton/Hancock and Copper Country.
