Wondering what folks are paying for an insurance survey these days? ? I was just quoted $32 per foot which seemed a bit steep from my last one but that was 10 years ago.

Sounds about right. I paid $35/foot last September.

Insurance isn't based on length but agreed valuation and all of
the little fine print that limits the insurer's risk like
deductibles, navigation limits, and, big time, exposure to
hurricane risks.

My understanding is cost for a survey is typically based on length.
The rate you pay for insurance after the survey will vary as you point out.

I just this week paid $30/ft in San Francisco for an in the water insurance survey. It was more thorough than I expected and probably more than the insurance company needs. Still I was happy to have the boat get a good look over in case I was missing something.

Hello Jim. We are insured with marine/home/3autos and umbrella coverage with Amica. Did they specify their choice a surveyor from the local area? And how long age was the survey done? Was it done for an agreed value type policy? Our boat hasn’t been surveyed in 20 yrs and they’ve not said a word yet.

I paid $20/ft in Baltimore in November. It was discounted since it is the third time in 10 years that he has surveyed the boat ( we are commercial and insurance is requiring a survey every five years). Steve 1985 S36

Thanks for the replies everyone. ? Sounds like the survey quote is in the ball park. ?The surveyor is John Sewall who is taking over the long time business of Tony Theriault in southern Maine. ?

I had my insurance survey (in the water) done last week in Oriental, NC at $20.00/ft, which I thought was very reasonable.
