About All Marine Surveying
All Marine Surveying has been serving our customers in Southwest Florida for over 20 years. We perform all types of vessel surveys including general, advanced and insurance surveys.
Growing up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida I have been involved with the marine industry for thirty five years. I worked as a crew-member on several power and sailing yachts, and worked for two boat dealerships rigging, operating & selling power vessels. After four years sailing for the Navy, and receiving an honorable discharge, I pursued a B.A. degree in business and went on to get my United States Coast Guard Sixteen Hundred Ton Oceans Master's License. I have worked on USCG inspected and licensed vessels. I am credentialed by the Nautical Institute, and Licensed by the U.S.C.G. I have also worked in the marine insurance industry for many years.
In 2001 we moved to beautiful South Fort Myers.
We look forward to helping you realize your boat ownership dreams.

Accredited Marine Surveyors in South Florida
Florida has one of the longest coastal strips for any state. So, naturally, people here are more into sailing and boating than any other part of the country. This inclination and love for sea travels have made the role of accredited marine surveyors more critical.
South Florida Accredited Marine Surveyors
To begin with, every individual must be aware of the seaworthiness of his watercraft. The services of marine surveyors can come in really handy to find this out. Secondly, if one is selling a boat then the appraisal of the craft is a mandatory clause of many buying contracts.
In all such cases, where two parties are working out on a deal to buy and sell a boat, an accredited marine surveyor can act as an arbitrator that can provide a cold and unbiased inspection report on the working condition of the boat.

Marine survey.
A Marine Survey is an impartial critical examination of a marine vessel to ascertain facts regarding its condition. The exact nature of the survey will determine what is to be inspected. Most frequently asked for, is a Condition & Valuation Survey, commissioned to satisfy a potential buyer of the Fair Market Value of the subject asset. The vessel’s structure, its support systems, equipment and electronics are inspected and tested, the vessel is dry-docked and Sea Trials conducted. Insurance Surveys may be as stringent, but depend on what the Insurers demands are. Customs Valuation Surveys relate to the importation into the USA of foreign built vessels. Valuation Surveys for the IRS are related to the donation of vessels to charitable causes, to enable the owner to gain a tax write off. Marine Surveys should be conducted by experienced and competent inspectors who are licensed and insured.

I have known Kurt Merolla for over 40 years and have relied on his services through the purchase and inspection of several boats in the 25 to 45 foot length including sail and motor, inboard diesel and outboard gas. The family has generational expertise in the South Florida and now North Georgia areas. Kurt has always delivered superior knowledge and fair pricing. If you need a survey, valuation or simply advice in the marine industry, you will not find a more personal, professional and honest expert. The South FL marine environment is full of difficulties and rabbit holes, do yourself a favor and call Kurt. E B Ferrer
I made the mistake of hiring Kurt in February of 2023. The 2006 Lazzara 74' I was purchasing was way outside his normal small boat experience and as his survey proves, he simply did not understand the systems he was surveying. He never even looked in the aft bilge at the badly leaking steering pump ($2500 fix) and the rusted through hydraulic platform pump ($6100 fix excluding labor), during the sea trial he didn't understand the stabilizers were not functioning ($5400 fix) but the most important thing he missed was the completely empty, discharged main cylinder of the fire suppression system that was electronically bypassed to prevent the alarm from sounding and allowing the engines to start. It also had a 2017 inspection tag (5 years past required inspection). Additionally he noted two of the three-cylinder system were undersized on their own, literally proving in writing he did not remotely understand the actuator/time delay nature of this system. At $10,000 this was his most expensive mistake but it's more than that. He made a solid point of showing me two $39 fire extinguishers that were slightly undercharged, one would think a single pic of the mail cylinder gauge would be standard, as it's the one thing any insurance company would want to see. On this aspect alone I strongly considered litigation. If there's one thing a surveyor should understand its fire suppression systems and Kurt was clearly way out of this depth. Considering Kurt cost me $24,000 in total I gave him the chance to make it right with a deal on resurveying now that I've fixed these problems. He was completely unrepentant and quoted $2500 for a second, in-water survey (and the first survey was way overpriced at $4000) No deal, no sympathy. I also found out after the survey he is not a current SAMS and NAMS member, not something he made a point of telling me in advance. When I questioned him about it he said it was a non-issue and blew it off.
Feb 28, 2024
Rich, You Claim you made a mistake hiring me, yet you called me a year after survey asking me to come survey your boat again in Key west which is 1,000 miles away from me where I live now. I agreed and quoted you my daily rate of $2,500 which would include my flight to Key West from ATL, GA including a hotel and next day typing of the second report (thus quoted fee is actually about 1/2 the cost of the first 32 page survey in which you agreed and paid $4000) then you attempt to BLACKMAIL & EXTORT) me into doing it for free for you or you and have will posted negative REVIEWS on Google & Yelp. Who is the criminal now ?? Everything you claim was written, discussed and covered in the first survey, report and in person over a year ago and all prior to your purchase yet you chose NOT TO PROPERLY NEGOTIATE WITH THE BROKERS and SELLER prior to Purchase cause you were too in love with getting boat quickly. That’s not good business and you should have negotiated properly!!!
super knowledgeable and helpful spent an hour on phone with me looking at the listing for a boat and identified several issues from the pics without charging me anything. gonna find another boat to buy and will definitely be using Kurt for the survey when I do. did I mention this app occurred on a Sunday within 5 mins of my quote request? it did!!! (5 mins plus the hour for the call anyway lol)
THIS GUY IS A SCAM ARTIST!!!!! If I could give no stars I would. Kurt completely scammed me because he knew I was out of state and took advantage of me. Lied and then refused to inspect the boat I paid him to inspect. He was rude to the boat owner and then wouldn't do his job and on top of it all wouldn't refund my money. I have never dealt with anyone this crooked with a seemingly legit business before in my life. Kurt is a liar and a thief. Do not do business with him!!!!
Aug 18, 2020
I was never contracted with this person. He never paid a penny and the seller never had a contract with him. I deal with out of state buyers for over 40 years and 9,000 surveys. I dont even know this guys last name... What a joke, just trying to red flag me because I didn’t show up to a survey he never confirmed nor contracted
We hired Kurt to inspect 2 different boats in Georgia and Tennessee Area. The first boat had many issues that he found immediately and the second boat had minimal concerns. In both instances Kurt was; on time, prepared, very professional and knew his stuff! Kurt works off a very detailed checklist and provides all the necessary papers to the us on the boat. Some insurance companies will not insure the boat unless you have a survey done by a reputable and certified surveyor! Kurt help us qualify for good insurance. Kurt will go above and beyond to help give you the best advice on your purchase and you should take his advice seriously since he has seen many boats. I would recommend him for any boat purchase! Howard M. Georgia Not sure why it comes up with California when we live in GA, the review does not give you an option to change your location!
I hired Kurt to perform a survey on a 43' Tiara. I was looking for a CERTIFIED, professional, seasoned, honest surveyor. After visiting his website and talking to him on the phone I was convinced he was right for the job. He started the survey and after about an hour he failed the boat because of wetness he found in the engine compartment. Initially, I was so thankful that I hired someone who had my best interest in mind. Upon further inspection at the urging of my broker, I realized that Kurt is misrepresenting himself as a CERTIFIED MEMBER of the NATL ASSOC. of MARINE SURVEYORS (NAMS) and The Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors® (SAMS®). He is not a member of either and at this time is not a CERTIFIED MARINE SURVEYOR. I talked to NAMS and have an email confirmation from them stating that he is no longer a member. You can check for yourself here: THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MARINE SURVEYORS, INC. (NAMS) The Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors® (SAMS®) The American Yacht and Boat Council Just to be clear, I'm not saying his findings were wrong (I really don't know). This review is simply stating that I hired him because I thought he was something he is not... A CERTIFIED MARINE SURVEYOR. He represented to me in conversation, text correspondence and most importantly in HIS CONTRACT. If you're looking for someone who seems knowledgable but you don't really care if they're CERTIFIED, then Kurt may be your guy. In closing, I have asked Kurt to refund what I paid him, not because of the survey or the results, but because he represented that he was a CERTIFIED MARINE SURVEYOR with (NAMS) and he is not.

I have a Certified Marine Surveyor (CMS) since 1980 This buyer does not know how to get his information and will not remove this Faldo claims. People can be haters… oh well
Kurt is an absolute professional and offers a wealth of knowledge from decades of experience and family line of boat builders/surveyors. I had a survey out of town and he made it painless to schedule haul out with the local marina. He spent quality time going through the mechanicals and electronics with great tips on additional areas for zincs. Would definitely use again and highly recommend!
To put it plain and simple, Kurt provided excellent customer service, he's extremely knowledgeable and he is extremely detailed. Before I even formally agreed to work with him, he provided a ton of really useful and nuanced information on what to look for with a marine survey. He truly made me feel like I had a seasoned boat veteran on my side ensuring that my boat purchase would be hassle-free and I wouldn't have to worry about unexpected problems popping up that I didn't know about before buying the boat. I would genuinely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a used boat.
Over the top GREAT surveyor. I'm a repeat customer from 15 years ago and he is even more knowledgeable now. First survey for a 7 year old Grand Banks classic in 2006 and now a current survey for a 14 year old Grand Banks Aleutian 59 RP with very complex systems. He also works very well with, cooperates and enhances the work of the CAT engine surveyor. His service does not stop with the delivery of the survey either. I just can not recommend him enough. He is well worth the airfare to get him to your prospective yacht purchase. Dan Agius Essex, CT
Kurt was great to work with. He turned the survey around to me in 3 business days of my contacting him to meet the seller and boat. I am an out of state buyer that was 12 hours away from a private boat sale, so I had to rely solely on Kurt to make my determination of buy or not to. Kurt immediately called me after survey to let me know what the report would say, and the same day emailed me the report and followed up with text to make sure I had received it. The seller told me after the survey "wow that guy was thorough!" Thanks Kurt

Thermal Imaging & Inspection
A&L MARINE SURVEYORS, LLC. survey and inspection services are available to both commercial and private entities throughout the state of Florida, from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas of Nothwest, Northeast, Central and South Florida. Below is an explanation of the various marine Thermal Imaging & Inspection performed, the types of boats inspected, and what each inspection entails.
Thermal imaging (sometimes referred to as thermography, thermal scanning, infrared imaging, or infrared thermal imaging) is the means and by the knowhow by which we can see the infrared portion of the light spectrum. Every object gives off some amount of thermal radiation so thermal imaging is ideal for observing temperature anomalies that are abnormal in machinery, electrical equipment, and even in solids such as wood, aluminum, steel, and fiberglass. Thermal imaging does not require light to see thermal radiation (think of the old movie “Predator” or the new movies and t. v. shows which show people inside buildings or running towards a building at night) so thermal cameras can see in absolute darkness. Thermal imaging is used widely in law enforcement, security, the military, air and sea navigation, surveillance, firefighting, private industry, medicine, and science.
The tool used for thermal imaging is the thermographic camera, which is similar in appearance and operation of a portable digital video camera. A & L MARINE SURVEYORS, LLC prefers using the Flir® brand infrared cameras. A & L MARINE SURVEYORS has used Flir® since 1992. Several years ago, FLIR® purchased by internationally known Teledyne and is now labeled FLIR-TELEDYNE. The infrared camera works by sensing electromagnetic waves within the light spectrum wavelength between approximately 0.9 and 14 micrometers (visible light that can be seen by the human eye is between .4 – .75 micrometers).
A special lens on the infrared camera focuses the infrared light emitted by all objects in view.
The focused light is scanned by a phased array of infrared detector elements. The detector elements create a very detailed temperature pattern called a thermogram. It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the detector array to obtain the temperature information to make the thermogram.
This information is obtained from several thousand points in the field of view of view of the detector array. The thermogram created by the detector elements is translated into electric impulses.
The impulses are sent to a signal processing unit. The signal processing unit is a circuit board with a dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data for the display.
The signal processing unit sends the information to the color display monitor on the camera, where it appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission. The combination of all the impulses from all the elements creates the infrared image. These impulses will also record surface temperatures of the image taken. Infrared cameras can be adjusted for optimum imaging by manually setting the distance to the object, humidity, and air temperature before the image is taken. Special software that we have can also adjust the thermographic image, search, and label exact temperatures outside of the spot size ratio (the center crosshairs on the infrared image), adjust the thermal tuning scale, and crop and edit the image based on how small the thermal anomaly may be. The anomaly may be shown at the exact spot on a boat, an engine, and or any other area that would have the need to be inspected. This is done in several ways with a picture in a picture (Thermographic picture over the exact spot with the target behind the FLIR® as a photo, or side by side, both taken at the exact second, so there are no mistakes about the target).
Thermography can sense heat that may prevent an electrical fire. Thermal imaging can detect leaking fuel or water from tanks that may prevent an explosion or water damage to the interior of the vessel. Thermal imaging can detect temperature anomalies in the engines or transmissions that can prevent much more costly engine or transmissions repairs in the future. Thermal imaging can detect patches under the gel coat from previous damage, trapped water under laminate, delamination of the hull, or a void the new repair did not properly bond to. Obviously, thermography is an important component of a boat survey. Make sure you hire surveyors such as A & L MARINE SURVEYORS, LLC. Who are qualified with over 7000+ boats surveyed since 1992 to do the job right who has the documents to show he or she is certified to conduct the proper testing.
There are numerous benefits to thermal imaging in many industries. Specifically in the marine industry some of the advantages are:
- No contact is needed. This keeps the user out of danger.
- It is two-dimensional. Thermographic temperatures can be measured at one point or a hundred or more points on a single thermographic image.
- It is real time. It allows fast scanning and recording of stationary targets. Objects cannot escape their own radiation. Thermal patterns can be seen. This helps significantly reduce the time and money spent on a technician or mechanic that would have to spend hours to disassemble and troubleshoot a component or go through miles of wiring on a boat or yacht to find the problem. The thermographic image can find the temperature anomaly quickly.
- Enhances the marine survey report. If desired, thermal imaging can be included in the survey report on components such as engines, transmissions, electrical equipment, electronic devices, tanks, and hulls to look for heat anomalies that can determine if malfunctioning components, leaks, previous fiberglass repairs or delamination exist within the vessel.
A & L MARINE SURVEYORS, LLC. Only uses Flir® brand high-definition professional grade infrared thermal cameras for our marine surveys, engine surveys, and inspections. My cameras are calibrated yearly, infrared thermal imaging cameras with a minimum of 320 x 240 pixels with an image frequency of 60Hz. They can detect a minimum of 43,200 individual temperature shots per digital or video image. The minimal thermal range of the cameras I use are between -4 degrees Fahrenheit – 1,202 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius – 650 degrees Celsius) which means we can see thermal anomalies in cold temperatures (such as freon hoses in marine air conditioning systems and refrigeration systems) and in extremely hot temperatures (such as overheating turbochargers and overheating exhaust manifolds in engines).
Each infrared thermal image I take is properly tuned based on the environmental conditions at the time of each shot of the inspection and will give the exact distance in feet or meters to create a more accurate scan for the inspection, this upgrading with this special software it helps to reveal thermal anomalies accurately. Having been trained by Flir® and the United States Government, I am a Level Three Certified Thermographer, certified to teach thermal imaging, I know how to properly take, tune, and interpret infrared thermal images to determine if there are abnormalities in the thermal images or video taken of hull composites, engines, electrical systems, or marine components. I further understand how these systems work and what normal running temperatures are in many different engines and systems on board vessels from years of professional training in addition to my master’s degree in mechanical engineering and over 53 years of experience as a surveyor, thermographer and running boats and rebuilding engines. As you can see, there is a difference in the work I offer versus the untrained surveyors who are out there imaging with small cellphones, and or cameras meant to detect a clogged drain.

"In Boating News Today"Boat Buyer Chooses the Wrong Marine Surveyor!!!!
Pre-Purchase Surveys
Engine evaluations, trial run, compression testing & oil sample analysis, insurance condition valuation or loan appraisal surveys.
If your a buyer with either many years of experience to your first purchase, I am glad to assist your every question and explain why my 43+ years of experience in surveying makes all the world of difference in the quality of survey findings and how a new surveyor may very likely miss many things that only Experience can find and uncover.
If your a buyer with either many years of experience to your first purchase, I am glad to assist your every question and explain why my 43+ years of experience in surveying makes all the world of difference in the quality of survey findings and how a new surveyor may very likely miss many things that only Experience can find and uncover. This is the most detailed of inspections and will take a day or more aboard plus additional day to compile the report.
If you have owned your vessel for awhile and get the request from your Underwriter agent that you need an "INSURANCE CONDITION & VALUATION SURVEY" This is an inspection of the vessel from a more basic view and is used to uncover safety issues that you may not be aware of at a reduced price. It is compiled with SAFETY in mind for your vessel and your family aboard.
I conduct gasoline engine surveys of all types with trial run testing, compression testing and oil sample analysis to determine the conditions of inboards and outboards.
Diesel engines are also inspected externally and with oil analysis when a Diesel Specialist is not aboard in conjunction with most buyers surveys
