About Christian A. Syoen, CAS Marine Surveyor

Christian A. Syoen, CAS Marine SurveyorSince the day I was born, I’ve lived more of my life out on the water and in boats than on dry land. Even to this day, if I’m not held up on someone else’s boat performing a survey, then I’m most likely spending time on my own boat with my daughter. Now, this level of experience and dedication may be enough for most boat owners to trust me as a marine surveyor, but for me it’s never enough. To me, being a qualified marine surveyor is about being a true professional, which is why I uphold numerous memberships with such prestigious organizations as the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS), the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), the BUC Book Appraisal Guide, and more. I never stop trying to learn and improve myself. Whether you’re looking for a marine surveyor who is down to earth and genuinely loyal or a highly respected and knowledgeable leader in the industry, CAS Marine Surveyor is merely the best place to go.

Chris's services were exceptional. He was extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. The first boat we hired Chris to survey showed high moisture content and he halted the survey to notify us immediately upon finding this. He showed us the way he determined the issue and explained what that meant in a clear, easy to understand way. He did not pressure us in any way but instead gave us all of the information we needed to make an informed decision. We made a few calls and then chose to stop the rest of the survey. We were only charged a portion of the survey fee. We called upon Chris again to survey and sea trial a different boat and were again pleased with his thoroughness. This time the results were very favorable. At the conclusion Chris went over everything he checked, gave us helpful hints on the minor repairs needed and answered all of our questions. His written report was thorough and received within a day of the inspection. We couldn't be more pleased with this experience.

I am a first-time boat buyer. I used Google Reviews to help make my surveyor selection and because of that I decided to choose Christian. I was working with a broker to purchase and he told me that Christian is "the best in the business".
My initial call to schedule the survey was answered immediately, he was very forthcoming that he was busy (I can tell you he was worth waiting for) but he would fit me in as soon as possible. He surveyed the first boat and I met him after it was complete. He took the time to go over everything with me and it was very informative (I had a ton of questions). He then provided a thorough 30-page survey report. (If you are dealing with a bank, you will need that report.) I decided to investigate another boat and of course I had him survey that as well. Part way into that survey he called me to inform me that he had found some major structural issues and asked me if I would like him to continue. Because of his findings I decided against continuing due to the severity and the potential financial ramifications of his findings. Might I add, I never would have found these structural issues.
To sum this up, Christian is on-time, not hurried, professional, patient and the service he provides is well worth the expense. I could not imagine buying a boat without him giving me the "green light". I now share the opinion of that broker, he is the best in the business!!
Thanks Christian
