Choosing a surveyor

A qualified marine survey, performed by a professionally trained and experienced marine surveyor offers protection for you, your family and friends from a potentially unsuitable or unsafe vessel with both safety and financial implications.

You should feel free to interview the marine surveyor regarding his or her qualifications and experience. When you decide on your surveyor, you should feel comfortable discussing all aspects of the boat and have a clear understanding of what you can expect in terms of the scope and content of the marine survey.

The principle surveyor and the founder of C³ Marine Services LLC,^® Scott D. Schoeler, AMS^® has been involved with boats, professionally and as a boat owner for more than 35 years. He has personally repaired vessels damaged by fire, collision, accident & storm and factory warranted faults as well as completely rebuilt and customized boats from the hull up.

Mr. Schoeler uses his decades of personal experience, formal education and current continuing education in the field of Marine Surveying, staying on top of current technologies and standards, to remain on the leading edge of survey techniques and provide high value for his clients.
