Cardona Marine Surveys has been providing quality, professional marine surveys and yacht repairs for over 25 years in the New York area, with surveys performed nationwide. Because we work on boats every day, we know exactly what to look for — from cosmetic issues to structural problems hidden below the waterline.

We own and maintain the world's largest database of common problems by make, model and year, covering boats from 1932 to present. That means we arrive already knowing the weak points of the vessel you are considering.

Every survey includes thermal imaging of the hull, decks, hull sides and transom to locate delamination and moisture intrusion before it becomes your problem.
