He is very accommodating and makes the extra effort to ensure the buyer is educated based on his findings on the vessel they are looking to purchase. Highly recommend!

Daniel was referred to me by another surveyor who was unavailable and he was amazing! The boat I was interested in had a four year old survey and Daniel's was superior throughout. He also gave me tons of time with his opinion answering questions and being of incredible value. I bought the boat that he surveyed heavily based on his recommendations for repairs that went into the negotiations. Great experience!! Dean McNeill2024-04-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel recently performed an insurance survey on my sailboat. Daniel was prompt, thorough, courteous and methodical. He took the time to carefully explain his findings, made recommendations on timelines for any potential future needs, explained how to determine when the maintenance might be required and even gave thoughts on how to proceed. His written report was detailed, organized and easy to understand. I would highly recommend Daniel Genier for any pre-purchase, insurance or valuation surveys needed. Patrick Stary2024-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel was very thourough conducting the survey of the sailboat I have purchased. He was patient, providing explanations on every step, addressing potential issues and how to avoid them. At the end of the survey, I felt confident about the state of the boat and I was glad I have hired Daniel's services.
About
Daniel Génier,
SAMS Surveyor Associate
With a strong passion for boating, I began my career as a licensed mechanic, specializing in engine rebuilding for cars and boats. Although I later transitioned into sales in consumer electronics, I continued to work with boats in my free time. After completing the “Yacht and Small Craft Surveying” course at Chapman School of Seamanship and earning my ABYC Standards Certification, I became a certified marine surveyor. I now offer professional marine surveying services, drawing on years of experience and expertise to serve my customers in the Nova Scotia Area.
