Testimonials
“To anyone looking for a yacht survey mid-Atlantic, I was recently referred to Will Stahlgren to survey a 2004 True North 38 powerboat in February 2021 which was located in Rock Hall, Maryland. I have dealt with dozens of yacht surveyors and supposed yacht surveyors over my 30+ year career and have a pretty good familiarity with both the posers and the professionals. Will Stahlgren definitely falls into the professional category. He did a very complete and extensive survey for us.
Because of freezing winter weather in the Chesapeake, this survey had to be broken into two separate phases, about a month or so apart. Will was amenable to accommodating this process and did as much of the out-of-water phase as he could in phase one and then completed the rest of the systems, mechanical, and sea trial in phase two.
I was impressed with Will’s knowledge of the systems and willingness to chase down each one completely. During the sea trial, Will checked all performance criteria and system operation. Suspected items were fully investigated. Perhaps best of all, Will took the time to explain what he was doing and make sound recommendations as to both repair/replacement and ongoing maintenance.
I would highly recommend Will Stahlgren to anyone seeking a professional yacht surveyor.”

“I just wanted to say thanks for your work conducting my survey on the Catalina 34! Enduring the all day rain, bone chilling temperatures and the Key Bridge collapse went above and beyond my expectations! You’re survey was spot on and exceptionally professional with the final report completed in a timely fashion. I am going to recommend you to anyone I come across that needs a marine survey. Thanks! “ — Mike
