Growing up as a kid, the North Fork of Long Island was still ‘undiscovered’ and primarily a farming and fishing community. My first jobs as a teenager were working as a mate on party and charter fishing boats and it was here that I developed a love for the water. That passion lead me to obtaining my captains license and operating my own charter boat for a number of years, and subsequently, providing lessons to new boaters, working as a tow boat operator, and private captain.
Fast forward a number of years, the North Fork now attracts visitors by the tens of thousands each year to enjoy our bays and sip some vino at one of the many vineyards that have sprung up. I’ve also evolved and these days I bring my experience and passion for the water to Marine Surveying. I pride myself in attention to detail and partnering with each customer on their project. I particularly appreciate helping new boaters with pre-purchase surveys, helping them to find the right vessel for them. I look forward to partnering with you on your next boating project.

Testimonials:
"Mike consulted with me on the pre-purchase of a vessel and due to his thoroughness, found structural damage that was not disclosed by the seller."
Andrew M.
" He did a very thorough job and followed up to make sure I was understood and was satisfied with his report. He made himself available to answer any questions I had. I would not hesitate to utilize his service in the future." Steve F.
"I'm very pleased with the results. Mike was able to identify issues that I would not have been able to detect myself prior to the purchase. The survey ultimately paid for itself."
