Northeast yacht surveyors

Northeast Yacht Surveyors is a marine surveying company based in Abington, Massachusetts. The firm serves boat buyers and owners across two regions: New England, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island from May through October, and Southwest Florida, covering Sarasota, Bradenton, and Anna Maria Island from November through May. Services include marine surveys, underwater imaging, boat deliveries, and on-water training. The business holds a rating of 5.00 based on 17 reviews.

The company is led by Captain Tom Dolan, a USCG 100 Ton Master, and its surveyors hold credentials from ACMS, ABYC, and PADI, with affiliations that include NFPA, Sea Tow, and the BBB. The most requested service is the Pre-Purchase Marine Survey, a comprehensive inspection of a used vessel that typically covers in-water and out-of-water inspections along with a sea trial, and is usually required by insurance companies and lenders. Rates are calculated by vessel size, complexity, location, and age, with no travel expenses and no charge for return visits; verbal reports are given the same day and written reports are generally completed within 24 to 48 hours. Captain Dolan can be reached by phone, text, or email.

The office sits on Bedford Street, a short distance from Bedford Street and Adams Street, with the North Abington Fire Station, Abington Fire Department, North Abington Town Hall, and Hamilton Street Conservation Land all within roughly half a mile.

Clients have noted the firm's thoroughness and patience in answering questions, the clarity of its survey reports, and a consistently positive experience through the boat-buying process. Northeast Yacht Surveyors combines accredited survey work with hands-on captain expertise for buyers and owners across its New England and Southwest Florida service areas.
