Established in 1981, Johnson Marine Services has been providing professional marine surveys to boat owners and prospective buyers for over 20 years in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, and the Caribbean areas.

Our marine surveyors are Accredited Marine Surveyors (AMS®) with the Society of Marine Surveyors (SAMS®), as well as members of the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC). In addition to our professional services, both of our surveyors have extended offshore and coastal yachting experience.

We have both worked extensively on commercial and pleasure craft as well as maintaining our own boats. We specialize in performing pre-purchase, insurance, and damage marine surveys for pleasure and commercial power and sailing vessels. Our surveyors provide prompt professional service and generally complete the survey report within 48 hours of the survey. Whether you are purchasing, insuring, or safety inspecting a new or used vessel, Johnson Marine Services has professional, experienced marine surveyors to meet your needs.
