Mike Grame of True Blue Marine, LLC, is an extraordinarily surveyor. As an expert surveyor, his attention to detail, mechanical prowess, and passion for what he does shows through, especially in his keen knowledge in working on all types of sailboat platforms. I spent three to four hours with him on my survey, marvelled at his  and complete and utter thoroughness. This is best money ever spent, and the 25 page intricate document was and continues to be like gold. I often go back to it to assess and better understand systems esp. with differing ages of equipment and add-ons. The detail has allowed me to see possible future work, and items needing future replacement and attention. This piece of mind can not be overstated and most importantly, his key discussion points will make your buying decision credible. I can see why Mike is trusted by his brokers and buyers alike, asked to travel nationally and world-wide when one wants an expert to evaluate such an important financial decision. Lastly, he is always available for follow ups, even months afterwards with advice or additional knowledge. My highest recommendation for True Blue Marine.

True Blue Marine did an outstanding job surveying my  2012 Proline 26 Super Sport. From start to finish, the process was  seamless. The surveyor was incredibly detailed in their inspection,  leaving no stone unturned. More importantly, they communicated  everything clearly and patiently, making sure I understood the findings.  Excellent service and a company you can trust for your marine survey  needs!

I've had the pleasure of working with Mike on two  separate occasions—once as a buyer and once as a seller—and both times  he exceeded my expectations. He is the definition of professional:  knowledgeable, thorough, and incredibly easy to talk to. His in-depth  analysis and sharp eye for detail gave me complete confidence in the  process from start to finish. Whether you're buying or selling, Mike is  worth every penny.

Mike  was very professional.  He listened to my objectives and concerns  regarding my 32 regulator.  During and after the survey, he gave  excellent advice on how to improve my boat which I have implemented.  I  would highly recommend and will certainly call True Blue Marine again.

Mike  at True Blue Marine did a FANTASTIC job on a recent survey we  commissioned for an Island Packet sailboat. A full day of inspection  primarily while the boat was underway. He managed all the tight, dark  spaces and communicated clearly and frankly so that we not only learned  about the boat and it's plusses and minuses, but also about how he  proceeds through an inspection. He went beyond expectations when things  were found deficient or broken by offering either to try a quick fix or  recommend a repair path. Mike was diplomatic and always positive in the  presence of the Broker and Owner, and was a consummate professional in  between two parties with different objectives. I would HIGHLY recommend  True Blue Marine - years of experience and a fair price.

I am pretty skeptical of some of those in the mechanical  trade. However, with Mike,, he earned my trust early on, and he is the  type of professional, who, if he advises for me to do something, I just  do it. Over the years that I had a boat, I frequently ran into other  boat owners who felt the same way about Mike. We trust him, because he  has earned our trust through his competency and fair dealing in every  aspect of his business. My schedule is permitting me to own another boat  and when I do, Mike will be a part of the decision to make the purchase  and certainly a part of the mechanical upkeep.

Mike has done two separate surveys for me over the past  five years, just the fact that I used him a second time should speak  volumes about his Service.
Mike is Thorough, professional, very  interactive during the process walks through all the systems with you  points out positive things he Finds as well as concerns that he has. He  had his very detailed report with photographs back to me in a timely  fashion, plus he is available by phone afterwards to answer any  questions you may have. Mike goes out of his way To make a vessel survey  as easy as possible.
Highly recommend Mike and his services, You won’t be disappointed.

Mike is extremely professional and very thorough. His  survey prevented me from purchasing a salvage boat that did not show up  on Boat Check. Best pre purchase money I ever spent.

Mike did a great job surveying our boat. He was very  thorough and provided us with a very detailed report which he turned  around in less than two days. He even had the diagnostic computer to  check the Yamaha engines and did the compression tests as well. I would  highly recommend his services.

Mike was a great surveyor. He did such a thorough and detailed job we could not have asked for anyone better. His report was also color coded to help decipher major issues from minor ones. I can not recommend him enough.
