You Have Questions?  We Have Answers!

We've put together a list of the questions we seem to get asked most frequently. Take a look below to satisfy your curiosity!
What is your Service Area?
  • Not located in one of the above listed area? Give us a call! We would be glad to give you an estimate!
Are you insured?
Do I have to be present for the survey?
  • Only if you want to be. It is your survey and we are there to help you gain knowledge of the vessel. We will help walk you through the inspection and answer your questions.

What should I do before the Marine Survey?
  • A clean boat makes for an easier and faster survey. A complete and detailed guide of how to prepare for a a Marine Survey can be found here.

Will I have the same Marine Surveyor every time?
  • We understand our clients and personnel can often form connections and understanding of one another, making it hard to have anyone else. For this reason, although not possible to guarantee, we strive to have the same Marine Surveyors assigned to your projects every time.

Does the boat have to be hauled for the survey?
  • If this is a Pre-Purchase Survey, then yes. Although not usually required for Insurance Surveys, you should contact your insurance company and ask them if they require an in-water or an out-of-water inspection.

What equipment do you use?
  • The Bul Mar Prof Marine team utilizes a variety of tools to perform the highest quality Marine Surveys. Included below is a partial list of some commonly used equipment: Audiogauge, Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge, Moisture Meter, Compression Tester, Digital Camera, Thermal Imaging Camera, Flashlight, etc.
What methods of payment are accepted?
  • We accept payments of cash, check, and major credit cards.
How do you price your services?
  • Our prices are reasonable and competitive. Most of our Pre-Purchase and Insurance Surveys are completed on a per-foot basis, and depend on the type and size of the boat. You will find most Marine and Cargo Surveyors’ rates fall within a certain range, and that our fees are set competitively within that range.

Who pays the cost of a Pre-Purchase Survey?
  • The cost of a Pre-Purchase survey is typically paid by the potential vessel buyer. Not the seller.

Who pays for an Insurance Survey?
  • The cost of an Insurance Survey is typically paid by the vessel owner or insurance policy holder. The vessel owner hires the surveyor. Not the insurance company.

What is your policy for cancellations?
  • All we ask is at least 48-hours notice. If notice is not provided within 48-hours of a scheduled survey, a cancellation fee may result.  

Where did the name "Bul Mar Prof Marine " come from?
  • Bul Mar Prof Marine was formed by Bulgarian Expatriate Zlatomir "Zach" Vergiev. As a Marine Professional with Bulgarian roots, it wasn't hard for Zach to decide that Bul Mar Prof Marine was the perfect name for his Marine and Cargo Surveying company. 

Do you have a satisfaction guarantee?
  • Customer satisfaction is our primary goal. It is very important to us that you let us know if you have even the most minor of concerns with our service. If you notice anything about your Marine Survey that you aren't happy with, please let us know immediately.
