    Anyone have recommendations for a surveyor for an 85' Power Yacht?

    Malcolm Elliott at Florida Nautical Surveyors is known for his professionalism, knowledge, attention to details, and ability to explain things appropriately. The size is most appropriate for him.

    Thanks for your help, I am going to use Baron Rohl for the Hull.

    He surveyed a 68' Azimut MY that I managed and maintained about 5 years ago. He left the boat and left the entire boat tore up. Every piece of carpeting and floor hatch was not put back, and the seller was not too pleased when I had to spend 2 hours putting his yacht back together and had to bill him for it. Never again.

    I also would recommend Malcolm Elliot with Florida Nautical. His surveyor Kerry just did a 32' Whaler for a customer of mine and was very pleased.......

    Ditto on Malcolm Elliott. I know of surveyors who charge a lot less, but the savings are made with Malcolm's thoroughness.
