Pre-Purchase Marine Surveys
(Boats Under 30ft)

Trailer boats to cabin cruisers — expert surveys with photos, videos, and 24-hour reports.

Smaller boats deserve just as much attention as the big ones. For vessels under 30 feet, our Pre-Purchase Marine Surveys focus on the details that matter most — from hull integrity and trailer condition to engine performance and safety compliance. Whether it’s a runabout, bowrider, or trailerable cruiser, we meticulously inspect every component so you can buy with confidence.

Each report includes detailed explanations, high-resolution photos, and supporting videos, giving you a clear and transparent record of your boat’s true condition. Delivered within 24 hours, our reports mean you won’t be left waiting when it’s time to make your purchase decision. With OceanPro, you’ll know exactly what you’re buying — safe, reliable, and ready for the water.
