il1395 7 #1 Posted May 18, 2020 Anyone have recommendations on a good surveyor in the Hampton, VA area for a pre-purchase survey and sea trial? I've found several in the area, just looking for recommendations from people who have used them. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greyhound37 76 #2 Posted May 18, 2020 contact Ron at Bayharbor yacht brokerage in Hampton. He is a straight shooter and can give you good direction for your type of boat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crash 567 #3 Posted May 19, 2020 I concur, but thought I’d heard he’s retired... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodoochile 37 #4 Posted May 19, 2020 Lloyd Griffin is a really knowledgable surveyor and experienced sailor. lgriffin111@yahoo.com or https://www.frigatemarinesurveyors.com/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gbkersey 32 #5 Posted May 19, 2020 Not only that, but Lloyd is a stand up guy. I've known him since about 1976 and I can't think of anyone I would recommend more.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron @ Bay Harbor has 15 boats for sale on yachtworld so the owners will be pissed if he retired. He is still racing like a mad man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crash 567 #9 Posted May 28, 2020 I thought I’d read it in SBRNYCU email/newsletter last fall. Obviously, I’m wrong! Ron’s one of the good guys...I’ve recommended him to folks for years... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doghouse 124 #10 Posted June 6, 2020 Ron is retired. Bay Harbor has been sold and is under new ownership. He is still doing a little though to help out. Lloyd would definitely be the surveyor to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
