Our story

Surveyors who'd rather be right than popular.

Eco Yacht Surveyors was founded on a simple conviction: that an independent surveyor's only loyalty is to the truth about a vessel — and that the truth should serve the ocean as much as the owner.

A luxury yacht in deep blue water — the vessels we survey
Who we are

Environmentally focused yacht surveyors.

We are accredited marine surveyors who specialize in the vessels most people only dream of — and we believe protecting a yacht and protecting the waters she sails are the same discipline. When you call us, you speak directly with the surveyor who'll do the work.

Our practice spans the full lifecycle of yacht ownership, from new-build oversight to forensic damage claims, and from pre-purchase to refit. We invest in the diagnostics that matter — thermal imaging, ultrasonic thickness, moisture mapping, oil analysis — and we write reports that hold up under scrutiny from any insurer, yard, or court.

And because we believe the marine industry owes the ocean more than it's given, we built conservation into the core of how we work — not as a side project, but as a standard part of every survey we conduct.

Our principles

Convictions that guide every survey

Independence above all

We never broker, list, or sell vessels, and we take no referral fees. Our findings answer to no one but the facts — and the party who hired us.

Rigor, not shortcuts

Every survey follows the same exhaustive methodology, whether she's a 40-foot cruiser or a 60-meter. Diagnostics are non-negotiable.

Stewardship of the sea

The ocean is our second client. Every report includes an eco-flag section assessing the bottom paint, bilge, and discharge issues that affect the waters a vessel sails.

Accountability

You hire a named surveyor, you get that surveyor — start to finish. We remain on call for your broker, insurer, and yard long after the report is delivered.

Respect for your time

Fixed quotes within hours. Reports within 48 hours. We treat your schedule as seriously as our own — because in yachting, missed yard slots cost real money.

Plain language

A report is only useful if you can understand it. We write for owners first — clear findings, real priorities, no jargon — while still meeting every technical standard.

Where we work

Two coasts, one standard

We're anchored in Newport Beach, California — and we survey just as regularly across South Florida, from Miami to the Keys. Same methodology, same named surveyor, same fast turnaround, wherever your vessel sits.

  • Miami & South Florida — Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, the Keys & surrounding
  • Newport Beach & Southern California — our home waters
  • Worldwide — for vessels further afield, we travel
