Are you considering purchasing a personal watercraft? Whether you're a seasoned boater or a first-time buyer, a comprehensive pre-purchase survey is essential to protect your investment and ensure that you're getting a fair deal.

At North Shore Marine, we specialize in providing a range of marine survey services, including pre-purchase surveys, resale evaluations, insurance assessments, refinancing appraisals, and damage surveys. Our experienced marine surveyors are dedicated to helping customers make informed decisions when buying or selling a personal watercraft. A pre-purchase survey involves a thorough inspection of the vessel to assess its overall condition and value. Our surveyors will examine the hull, deck, superstructure, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and safety equipment to identify any issues or red flags. The survey also includes a sea trial to evaluate the boat's performance on the water. Having a pre-purchase survey conducted by a professional marine surveyor can help you avoid costly mistakes and unexpected repairs down the line. It provides you with valuable information about the condition of the watercraft and can give you leverage in negotiations with the seller. In addition to pre-purchase surveys, we also offer resale evaluations to help you determine the fair market value of your personal watercraft. This information can be invaluable when selling your boat or applying for financing. Our insurance assessments and damage surveys can also assist you in meeting the requirements of insurance companies and lenders. The team at North Shore Marine is committed to providing top-notch service and accurate, detailed reports to our customers. We understand that buying a personal watercraft is a significant investment, and we're here to help you protect that investment every step of the way. If you're in the market for a personal watercraft or are considering selling one, contact North Shore Marine today to schedule a pre-purchase survey or one of our other marine survey services. Your future boating adventures depend on making a well-informed decision today.
