Hourly @ $90 per hour travel and labor. We do Pre-survey inspections for out of towners.
PRICES ARE ESTIMATES AND SOMETIMES NEED ADJUSTING FOR LOCATION, AGE/CONDITION AND TYPE OF BOAT SO PLEASE CALL WITH DETAILS TO VERIFY EXACT PRICE.
*Many other surveyors charge extra for a sea trial. I believe the sea trial is one of the most important parts of a Marine Survey and therefore include it in pricing. If comparing prices, read the fine print of the competition!
**If we have to make a second trip to complete a survey, it will be billed at additional cost.
If you're from out of town, I can look at vessels you want me to check and email you with close up digital photography and discuss the vessels condition before you make your offer. If you decide to go for full survey, I will deduct half of that service!
