When purchasing a vessel, it’s crucial to understand its true condition before committing to such a significant investment.

Condition & Valuation for Insurance
When it comes to securing the right insurance coverage, having an accurate valuation is key. Our condition and valuation surveys meet the requirements of most insurers and provide an in-depth overview of your vessel’s current state.
Marine insurance companies often require a condition and valuation survey before issuing or renewing a policy. Elite Marine Surveyors specializes in providing detailed, accurate surveys that assess the current condition and market value of your vessel, ensuring that you meet the necessary insurance requirements.
Damage Inspections
Storm damage can have a significant impact on your vessel’s operation and safety. We offer fast, thorough post-storm inspections that allow you to assess damage and submit claims quickly and accurately.
South Florida is no stranger to severe weather, and vessels are often at risk of sustaining damage from storms, hurricanes, and other natural events. After such an incident, a detailed marine inspection is essential to assess the extent of the damage and ensure that your vessel is safe for continued use. Elite Marine Surveyors specializes in post-storm damage inspections, helping vessel owners quickly identify issues and take the necessary steps to restore their boats to peak condition.
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing
Using state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology, we provide detailed assessments of the thickness of a vessel’s hull, identifying potential weaknesses before they become major issues.
Metal corrosion and erosion pose significant threats to the structural integrity of marine vessels, particularly in harsh saltwater environments. Ultrasonic thickness testing is a non-destructive method used to measure the thickness of a vessel's metal hull and other structural components. This vital test helps vessel owners assess the condition of their boat’s structure, detect signs of corrosion, and take preventative measures before a more serious issue arises.
Moisture Inspections
Our moisture inspections help identify water intrusion in your vessel, protecting against rot, corrosion, and other damage.
Excess moisture in a vessel’s hull or structure can lead to serious problems, including rot, delamination, and structural failure. For owners of yachts and marine vessels, early detection of moisture intrusion is critical to preventing costly repairs and maintaining the integrity of the boat. Elite Marine Surveyors offers comprehensive moisture inspections using state-of-the-art technology to detect moisture levels in hulls, decks, and other vulnerable areas.
Shipping Container Inspections
Shipping containers are essential to global maritime transport, and their integrity is crucial for the safe movement of goods. Over time, containers can experience wear and tear due to constant use, harsh weather conditions, and exposure to saltwater. To ensure that they remain fit for service, regular inspections are necessary. Elite Marine Surveyors provides comprehensive shipping container inspections services to vessel owners, operators, and shipping companies in Fort Lauderdale. Our inspections help identify potential issues before they become major problems, ensuring that your containers are safe, compliant, and ready for use.
