This was my second boat survey completed by Evan. He is a pro, extremely detailed, knowledgeable and communicates clearly and consistently. On both surveys Evans reports provided me with the facts to fairly negotiate the best terms for sale. I would not hesitate to work with him again. You will not be disappointed. Good luck.Posted on Robby CugliariDecember 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had a survey on a 2015 cruisers 48 cantius , being a buyer from out of state buying a boat in Florida and theirs a million surveyors to choose from he came recommended and my best decision was choosing him for our survey . Evan was extremely nice made the drive to ft Meyer’s without hesitation from his home base on the east coast. He was nothing short of exceptional. He found things I wouldn’t have never caught with my own eyes and I can tell you this, it was money well spent ! If your leary about being an out of state buyer purchasing a boat in Florida . Evan should be your first call to make sure he’s available to give you the best survey you will get . Can’t thank him and recommend him enough !Posted on David DiplacidoNovember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evan was very professional and thorough throughout the survey process. Ensured all questions were answered and that and concerns were addressed before leaving. Highly recommend.Posted on Don ToreyOctober 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evan and his co r SO amazing! We r repeat clients, and he’s always been onsite asap. And, incredibly thorough and so professional. VERY HIGHLY Recommended!!! Thx, DonPosted on Austin RiveroSeptember 8, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evan was absolutely incredible. It was my first time buying a boat and Evan explained every step of the survey and answered my dozens of questions. He was thorough, patient, extremely knowledgeable, personable and on time. He spotted several issues that I never would have seen on the first boat we looked at. His attention to detail saved me tens of thousands of dollars. Then, he immediately made accommodations in his schedule to survey the next boat (and the one I ultimately ended up purchasing). I would recommend Dockside Marine Surveyors to anyone and would feel confident hiring them again, knowing that I had Evan in my corner.Posted on Jessica FrascottiApril 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been in this industry for 15 years and this is hands down the best surveyor I’ve ever used. If I good give Evan a 1000000/10 I would. He was quick to communicate, easy to schedule with, flexible with the date that worked for me, and mainly, did a phenomenal job on the survey and sea trial. He was thorough down to every last detail, quick to send me the report results, and it was one of the most organized reports I’ve ever seen. He went into depth explaining things to me, was quick to get other techs on the phone for their opinions regarding certain generator issues, and he did not rush the process. He was also extremely helpful and responsive after the survey whenever I had any questions! Evan did a survey for me on a 2017 325 Pursuit DC and was able to help save me some money on the deal, but also give me confidence in buying this boat knowing exactly what I was looking at. Would recommend 100000 times over!Posted on doug parkerApril 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I could not be more satisfied of the services Evan provided. I was an out of state buyer and Evan made the entire process simple and easy for me. Evan provided a detailed and thorough report in a timely manner with great photos. Evan then spent time with me in reviewing the report and discussing all of his findings. Thank you again and I highly recommend Evan’s services!Posted on Stephen RubenackerApril 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Evan was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time and energy to explain every single detail and nuance of his inspection. I learned so much about the vessel that I’m planning to purchase and left feeling very informed about what I was purchasing. He also produced his report within a few hours of the conclusion of the inspection, something I think that was very impressive considering the level of detail he put into it. Highly recommend! Thank you!
