Marine Survey Company – YACHTMASTERS Marine Surveyors
Headquartered in Naples, Florida, YACHTMASTERS Marine Surveyors was founded by Captain Frank Messana to provide marine surveying for yachts and powerboats across South Florida. The firm covers a broad service region that includes Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Miami, and the Florida Keys, with availability for areas outside this region upon request.
Core services include pre-purchase surveys and insurance surveys, damage survey inspections, and consulting. Specialty offerings cover thermography and engine diagnostic services, primarily for gasoline engines, with some diesel work also available. The company evaluates multiple vessel types and configurations, applying practical knowledge gained from years of work in the South Florida marine market.
Captain Frank Messana holds credentials as a Surveyor Associate and a USCG Captain 100T, carries the AssocIIMS designation, and the company maintains an ABYC affiliation. Prospective clients can review sample survey reports posted on the website to understand the format and scope of a typical inspection.
The firm structures its work around individual client needs, whether a buyer requires a condition and valuation report before a purchase or an owner needs documentation for an insurance carrier. Damage surveys assess vessels following incidents, while consulting addresses technical questions that fall outside a standard survey. The engine diagnostic and thermography services give buyers and owners additional detail on mechanical condition.
YACHTMASTERS offers quote requests through its contact page and supports online booking for scheduling inspections. The business can be reached at (877) 592-2487 or by email at Frank@YACHTMASTERSMS.com. Operating from Naples, the company positions itself as a resource for boat buyers, sellers, owners, and insurers throughout the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of South Florida who need independent vessel evaluation backed by Coast Guard captain experience and surveyor credentials.
