Marine Surveyors
Accredited California Surveyors |
Marine surveys conducted by yacht and boat surveyors are essentially detailed inspections of a yacht, whether she is a powerboat or sailboat. The yacht or boat survey is conducted to determine the yacht or boat value. The surveys or inspections are conducted by yacht and boat surveyors, who are accredited by the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors known as SAMS or the National Association of Marine Surveyors, know as NAMS. The valuation based on the marine survey can be determined for a specific reason, such as the insurance survey or damage survey or as a general appraisal to determine value of the yacht or boat. Before you buy your sailboat or powerboat a marine survey conducted by an accredited surveyor will help insure an accurate appraisal and many years of carefree cruising.
Below is a list of the accredited yacht and boat surveyors in California. There are over 50 surveyors available to conduct all types of surveys and appraisals of boats and yachts for boat buyers, yacht buyers, sellers and insurance companies.
Society of Accredited
Marine Surveyors, Inc.®
 The Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS)® was established in the 1980's by a group of surveying professionals who wanted to advance their craft. You can read about this and their general philosophy at SAMS® History and Philosophy.
SAMS® holds annual meetings for members around the world to discuss topics such as standards, recommended practices, damage avoidance, advanced inspection methods, and legal liabilities. SAMS® includes over 1000 surveyors in the US and 16 other countries worldwide.
