William Rathbun, Marine Surveyor

"Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not."     

James Taylor

So, you've found it. You found your DREAM. You've made an Offer to Purchase and now it's time to kick the tires, put it through the turns and look under the hood...and...get all that documented. Well, that's called a Marine Survey and we've got your back because that's what we do.

We've been trained by the industry's finest including those who set industry standards for the design and manufacturing of pleasure craft. We've spent a lifetime playing and working on the water and like you, we're Dreamers too. We've bought and sold literally dozens of boats so, we definitely understand what you're up against. We've worked on boats having done everything from periodic maintenance, restorations, bottom jobs and extensive fiberglass repair.  We have even worked for some of the best known boat manufacturers in the North Carolina. So we know a thing or two about boats both power and sail.

In North Carolina, we serve: Oriental, Beaufort, Morehead City, the Outer Banks, Wilimington, New Bern, Elizabeth City, Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill.

In Virginia, we serve: Hampton Roads and Tidewater including Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, VA Beach, Chesapeake and Cape Charles.
