I am pleased and impressed with the thoroughness and communication from you.

 If I don't move forward with this yacht, I look forward to using your services on the one I do buy.  I feel like I've got so much more than my money's worth from you. I'm glad I came across you and had you perform the survey for me. Thank You

Thank you for your inspection last week. I ‘do’ appreciate your work and review of the 39’ Shannon sailboat. I also appreciated and enjoyed you pulling me to your side time to time and pointing out the challenges of upgrading and maintenance. I felt as if you were mentoring me, and I truly thank you for that.

I imagine that the survey process can be intimidating for people looking to buy a boat across the country. Thankfully, it was not that way for me and my wife. Prior to selecting you, I spoke with a few other surveyors. I am really happy that we decided to work with you.

What stands out to me the most about the survey process was your knowledge, thoroughness, and ability to educate.
