The Best $125 You’ll Ever Spend On Your Boating Journey

More often than not, the First Look Evaluation is the smartest move a prospective buyer can make. Before you commit to the high cost of a full survey, haul-out fees, and engine tech inspections, let us provide the ultimate "Go/No-Go" filter.

Why it’s a No-Brainer: For a flat $250 fee, we perform an expert high-level sweep of the vessel. We look past the fresh wax and new cushions to find the "deal-breakers"—high moisture, structural fatigue, or major mechanical red flags—that aren’t visible in the listing photos.

If we find a fatal flaw in the first hour, you just saved thousands of dollars and a massive headache. But if the boat passes the test and you decide to move forward, we will credit 50% of the fee ($125) toward your full Pre-Purchase Survey.


  • Zero-Risk Discovery: Catch structural rot or mechanical failures before the "big" bill arrives.

  • The Surveyor’s "Nod": Get professional peace of mind before scheduling the yard and the sea trial.

  • Built-in Savings: Your evaluation fee works for you, lowering the cost of your final technical report.

  • Local Expertise: Perfect for out-of-town buyers needing an honest "boots on the ground" report in the Chesapeake Bay area.
