Discovery Marine Surveys

 

Prices are All Inclusive. There is no hidden fee. Your boat in feet (LOA) times the amount below and VoilĂ  !
(plus GST).

I like to say that, often for our pre-purchase surveys, the cost is... Free !

After completing a survey, the information contained in the report can be used as a negotiating tool and the cost of the survey is easily recouped in the process.  Even on our insurance surveys we often find maintenance items that saves the owner from expensive repair bills.

Remember: Once hired, I work for you, for your best interests, not the seller, not the broker.

Not all surveyors publish their rates, in fact, very few do. I believe it is important to let my prospective clients know approximately what my services will cost.

Please remember that this is a way for you to estimate the cost of my services. I will provide you with a formal quote before performing a survey.
 
Our rates are calculated per foot (all inclusive) of the vessel surveyed and by the type of survey requested.

We provide our rates upfront and in confidence, knowing that we offer good value and quality product.
