As a member of the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS) McGoldrick Marine Surveying is bound to a strict code of ethics and business practices. All surveys are conducted with consideration to the SAMS recommended content for the survey of yachts and small craft. Your survey is guaranteed to be accepted by insurance and financial underwriters, for the purpose of making an underwriting decision, or you receive a 100% refund of your survey fee. The Condition & Valuation ("C&V") survey sometimes referred to as an Insurance survey, may also be used to refinance your boat loan.
Marine Surveying in the United States is an unregulated industry. Anyone can call himself a marine surveyor and begin bumbling about a boat and writing a "survey". Considering the importance a qualified survey holds to protect you, your family, and your friends from a potentially unsafe vessel, this is truly a decision where caveat emptor applies. Not to mention the enormous financial implications of purchasing a potentially unfit vessel. Regardless of the surveyor you choose, you should feel comfortable discussing all issues with him, his qualifications, and to have a clear understanding of the content and quality of the end product that you expect.
