- Ed LVery quick response. Did a complete and professional job on the survey of a sailboat I was purchasing. Highly recommend!!!
- Gary RJohn at Southern Marine surveying is very thorough, very knowledgable and very easy to deal with. As a first time boat buyer he helped me out quite a bit, and offered to help out at anytime. Very professional and I highly recommend to any one!!
- Reeves CAs far as I am concerned John is the best marine surveyor out there. His communication from the initial call, through scheduling, and then after providing the survey report was exceptional. It stands out that he takes pride in his ability to deliver customer service and his attention to detail for his clients. He even took the time to accommodate my schedule and go through every detail of the report at 8pm at night. Very much appreciated. John is extremely knowledgeable and I would recommend Southern Marine to everyone I can.
