Chris Kaufman2025-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrew is very knowledgeable and also able to explain things so that even those with far less experience can understand it. This is an invaluable skill in a surveyor. While some people simply want a survey for insurance purposes. I want the detailed report and punch list for me to go through and repair, restore and maintain my sailboat. Andrew is generous with his time and wants to make sure you understand the report and the needs of your boat. Highly recommended! Jason Napoletano2025-04-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrew was more — in every way. Andrew Gallant was more in every sense of the word: **more thorough, more knowledgeable, more communicative, and yes — more expensive — but every bit of that extra cost was worth it.** From the start, he was patient and considerate of my limited knowledge, taking the time to clearly explain everything without making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. He waited extra time (without complaint) while we had to call the owner to come move the boat onto the trailer, and still maintained a calm, professional demeanor throughout. Unlike the mechanic I brought, who offered mostly grunts and vague answers, Andrew was clear, methodical, and extremely helpful in pointing out the important things — without overreacting or unnecessarily condemning items. I genuinely felt more comfortable and confident having him there. When you're making a big purchase like a boat, you need someone like Andrew in your corner. Don't be pennywise and pound foolish — go with someone who gives you peace of mind. Andrew was worth every bit *more* he provided. Nate Oswald2025-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience working with Andrew as my boat surveyor. From start to finish he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. Andrew answered every question I had, both before and after the survey, with great detail, ensuring I fully understood the process and results. It was clear that his goal was to help me make an educated and financially sound decision which I truly appreciated. His expertise and dedication gave me total confidence in the survey and my eventual purchase. I couldn’t recommend Andrew enough to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled boat surveyor!

Marine Surveys (Andrew) came out and did a survey for our 48 foot Albin after the marina damaged her during a haul out. The marina wanted to handle the damage at their own expense and got their own estimates that did not truly reflect the level of damage. After we provided them with this survey, they filed an insurance claim and now our boat is being properly handled for repair. Huge thank you!!!!!
