Captain Manny is "Someone who tells it like it is..."
Buying a used boat can be daunting, but for me it is insanity!
Why? Because I’m in the business. I know enough to be dangerous, but I’m not a surveyor so when it came time to survey the boat I’m buying for myself, the choice was simple, Capt. Manny.
Trust me, I’m also not the easiest client, I know too much.
Why Capt. Manny when I know everyone?
Because he’s failed some of my client's boats in prior surveys.
It didn’t make me happy, but that demonstrated his integrity.
That’s what you want in a great Marine Surveyor.
Someone who tells it like it is, knows what to look for and what to go after.
If it’s your first boat, you’re in luck. Capt. Manny knows a lot.

Dear Manny:
Your name as well as others was suggested, when I was looking for a Marine Surveyor to survey a 1993 37' SeaRay Express Cruiser that I was interested in. Having done minimal due diligence, mostly by word of mouth, you were selected.
Your reputation was that you were technically competent, thorough, experienced and trustworthy.
After watching you survey my vessel I found that all to be true. In addition I would like to add friendly, reasonably priced and extremely professional.
I have used many surveyors over the years and have found "Captain Manny' to be the best.
While Manny was performing a sea test he climbed into the engine compartment to take readings on the twin inboard engines while traveling at 3,000 RPM. He photographed every item he inspected and included all in his report.
In summary I rate him highly and recommend that anyone looking for an excellent survey to use (Captain) Manny's services.
Should you wish to speak to me on my experience, feel free to call. Captain Manny will provide my cell number.
Sincerely,
James E Romer

"Rebelo Marine Surveyors Performed a survey on The 1986 Catalina 34 sailboat I was interested in buying and now own.
Capt Manny did a very thorough and comprehensive inspection and sea trial. He welcomed my attendance and explained his findings
and recommendations as he went along.
I recommend Rebelo Marine Surveyors and would not hesitate to use them again."
