Pre-Purchase Boat Inspection

How much does a marine surveyor cost in Arizona?

May 11, 2026 By The Boat Broker Team

Marine surveyor fees in Arizona typically range from $15-$25 per foot of boat length, with a minimum of $200-$300 for very small boats. A 24-foot boat survey runs approximately $360-$600. Additional fees may apply for engine-only surveys, insurance surveys, or travel to remote locations. Certified surveyors from SAMS or NAMS are worth the price — uncertified inspectors may miss issues that create costly surprises after purchase.
