TB Marine services recently completed a very comprehensive survey of a 32 center console I was very interested in purchasing. Tims survey uncovered some fairly serious issues that would involve significant expense to resolve. Based on the survey results I had to pass on the purchase. Tim was great to work with through the entire process and I would highly recommend his services.
Tim went above and beyond. Highly recommend him he is a professional and very educated in this field. He new everything about my Regulator boat and took the time to give me pointers to maintain it and protect my investment down the road. Thank you Tim i will certainly use you again in the future.
Greatly appreciate doing business with Timothy Brown. Surveyor was very precise and helpful. Report was very detailed. Highly reccomend.
Tim was very thorough in all aspects throughout the entire survey/process. Would definitely recommend him and will absolutely be using him again! Thanks for making the process easy
Tim handled my survey with the upmost professionalism! He even brought in extra people to make the survey run smooth as this was a last minute survey that needed to be done and there was not a lot of time to get it completed. The boat was an older boat and Tim and his team discussed all of their finding(s) with me personally and ranked all findings based on severity in an easy to read report with photographs.I would highly recommend Tim and his company for all your survey needs!
Very efficient. Responded as requested and showed up as scheduled. Provided finished report within 48 hrs. Good job.
TB thanks for all your help! It was a pleasure to work with you. Thanks for the quick turn around on the report. It looks great and I got my insurance renewed next day.
Excellent professional service. Accommodated our timeframe. Fair pricing. Highly recommended.
Tim provided a thorough and detailed survey of a boat for me. Tim was very easy to work with and answered all my questions. He is a real professional that takes pride in his work and has established great relationships in/around South Florida.
Tim is a very qualified Marine Surveyor and Captain with tons of experience. I highly recommend his services.
Professionalism, Reliability, Punctual, and an outright good person. Couldnβt have asked for more from Tim. Mr. Brown provided me with a Pre-Purchase survey on an Intrepid 375 walk around at a fair price for someone with this much knowledge. Timβs services easily payed for itself as I saved thousands thanks to his report and guidance. Start to finish A+experience. I highly recommend. As an aside if Tim canβt do it he will put you in contact with someone that can. Thanks again and I hope to see you on the water!
My husband and I didnβt know we needed a survey until we went to insure our boat. At first we were upset to have to pay $$ to get the inspection but we learned so much and we feel very confident that the boat is Safe. We were very lucky to find Tim @ TB Marine.
I contacted Mr. Tim Brown on Thanksgiving thinking I would leave a voicemail and he would follow-up with me at a later date. To my surprise, Mr. Brown answered the call and was willing to speak with me at length and answered all of my questions. Thatβs great customer service! Iβm looking forward to future business contacts.
Tim was on time and very professional. i got a very detailed report the next day and not only did it SAVE me $$ I learned soooo much more about the boat than anyone else I talked to Awesome job!
Captain Brown did a great job on my insurance survey. He advised me of what my insurance company needed. He helped me save money by allowing me to supply information and prep the boat prior to his inspection. I assisted him during the survey and I got a great price compared to other quotes from local surveyors. He showed up right on time and I learned a lot more about my boat than I ever knew. A real pleasurable experience. We recently had TB do a pre purchase survey for a used boat. TB found some issues we would have never considered. Mainly he found issues with the fuel tank and electric systems. We got the seller to reduce the price considerably. Well worth TBβs fee.
Highly recommend Tim Brown marine services. We used him for a pre-purchase survey on an older 30β Grady White Marlin. He was extremely thorough and available to discuss findings. The report was well organized and came along with lots of photos.
TB helped me out of a jam. He responded quickly to my request for Insurance Survey. I needed to get into the ship yard and my Insurance was due to expire in 3 days. TB came the very next day did his inspection and I got the report in less than 24 hrs. Insurance was renewed and Im high and dry on schedule. . Thank you TB
Top notch service.. Saved me time and money....Thanks Tim
Tim was very professional. We needed an Insurance Survey and had no idea what to expect. Tim explained the inspection and allow us time to get our boat prepared. He showed up on time and was very helpful in making recommendations to improve the overall safety features of our boat. We are boating with more confidence and peace of mind now. Thanks TB we couldnβt be happier.
Certified marine surveyor extensive knowledge of a variety of vessels. I highly recommend Tim Brown and his company.
Tim has been critical to my first ocean boat experience, keeping me from making a costly error!
Tim was instrumental in helping me feel confident in an older Mako that had been repowered.and was for sale in south florida.Professional level service /Not cheapest around.He was organized, on time, patient, not to mention clearly experienced, generally helpful and generous in his consultation.Tim can generate insurance documents etc or just a trustworthy opinion as needed.NO REGRETS HERE, Thanks TB Marine!
Captain Tim Brown was both thorough and professional. If you are looking to purchase a boat, I highly recommend getting a boat survey and the only accredited surveyor I will ever call is Tim. His knowledge has been built over years in the Navy and basically spending his entire life working on boats large and small. Plus, hes a great guy!Thank you for your service, both militarily and my boat survey.
Would highly recommend TB Marine. Very prompt, thorough and reasonably priced
We approached Capt.Tim Brown to perform a pre-purchase survey, based upon the recommendation of the service manager at a local marina. He was very easy to work with and willing to answer any and all questions. We were extremely impressed by his experience and pleased with his professionalism and the thoroughness of his report. It was a pleasure to get to know Capt.Tim. The cost of his survey and subsequent report was, in my opinion, very reasonable and was money well-spent. I recommend him without reservation.
I have known Tim for over 21 years and sailed with him in the US Merchant marines for several years. Great shipmate, seasoned mariner and a expert with commercial and recreational vessels. I highly recommend TB Marine Services!Andrew GauthierManager Operations IntegrityCrowley Maritime
TB marine did an excellent job. Tim was very knowledgable. He took the time to explain things to us and answered all of our questions. We will use him in the future.
Tim Brown is a true professional he spent endless time surveying my sons boat and documenting the work that was done to my sons boat. He did not rush or overlook anything. Due to his expertise the conclusion was that the work done was not only substandard but fraudulent. Tim travelled to central Florida to do this survey. He spent hours writing up the survey and has been available at all times. He is a true professional; unbiased and takes pride in his craft. I highly recommend him without reservation. Due to his diligence and professionalism we are pursuing legal action against the company who did the work on my sons boat.I met Tim at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show and asked him would he travel to central Florida and the rest his history.
Very professional and thorough. Timβs experience in the marine industry shines concrete knowledge in his abilities to deliver an honest, well organized, meticulous survey in a very timely manner. Made for a smooth transaction with my insurance company. Overall....A++
This is the place you want to go, and Capt Tim is who you want to lead your project, assessment, or expedition! Ive spent many weeks and thousands of nautical miles with Tim at sea. And quite a few hours under the sea too! Hes a caring, knowledgeable professional. Highly recommended business.
Tim Brown is the hardest working guy in the Marine Surveying industry. He has tons of knowledge and experience, has the highest certifications in the industry and always has the customers best interests in mind. I highly recommend TB Marine Services.
I have known Mr. Brown for over 30 years. Very knowledgeable and will treat you with respect. His experience will get you the service you are looking for. Highly Recommend TB Marine Services.
Iβve enjoyed working with Captain Brown. I wouldnβt hesitate recommending him for a pre-purchase boat survey or to help you find the boat to fit your needs. Iβve owned several boats over the years and thought I knew everything I needed to know about checking over a boat before pulling the trigger. The search is underway for a different boat. Working with Captain Brown has been great. Iβm confident Iβll make a much better-informed choice on my next purchase.
TIm Brown is not only an experienced Surveyor, he has hands on experience in maintaining and operating vessels from 20 to over 100, protected, coastal and offshore, including a Merchant Marine license. As someone who not only knows what a boat or ship system and construction should be, he also knows how they should operate and can advise on operation, upgrades and maintenance. Hes our boat manager for Lioness on the East Coast.
So happy I chose Reef Rambler with Captain Tim Brown. Right off the bat he made the experience fun and adventurous, and I happily left w several catches for the day! Nothing but great things to say. Donβt look any further when it comes to charter fishing because this is the real deal... Iβll be back for sure!
Tim has been a wealth of knowledge and has been extremely helpful to us with our search for a seaworthy boat. He has been available to answer questions and has always been straight forward and honest. We couldnt imagine going through this process without his expertise!
I recently purchased a boat in Stuart. I live in Miami. After calling a few surveyors in the area it was clear Tim was my guy. Tim handled everything. He called the seller to arrange the inspection and sea trial. He contacted a local boat yard and scheduled the boat to be lifted out of the water (as it had no trailer) for the exterior portion of the survey. He contacted a local, licensed Mercury outboard mechanic to preform the engine survey. He did everything. All I had to do was drive up there and pick the boat up. I would have paid him double!!You rock TB Marine!!!!
I have Known Mr. Brown for over 30 years, great boat guy. Very knowledgeable an always true to his word.
I planned to buy a boat sight unseen in Florida while I was still living in Denmark. I had Tim Brown conduct the survey. He did an excellent job and when I returned to Florida he dropped buy and we went through all of the systems on my new boat together. He is quite the professional and I will use him again and have recommended him to others in the community that I now live in and a couple have already used him for their boat surveys and have been quite happy as well.
There are very few Mariners with the experience of Mr. Brown. His real world experience has helped me, and expect he can reliably deliver anything related to surveying, safety, navigation and sporting.
I always feel safe when Captain Tim is at the helm! He will take care of you and your boats they way he takes care of his own.
Hands down fantastic experience! Ive never been fishing like this before, and let you tell you what...Im hooked! Tim is not only a very knowledgeable captain who knows the ins and outs to it all, but also extremely fun to be around...you wont leave without a few good belly laughs! Definitely recommending Reef Rambler to all friends and family...a must when youre in the area!
Tim is a great guy to know in the marine industry, heβs easy to work with and knows his way around a boat.
My husband and I found Tim Brown thru some people at our marina.He showed up on time and addressed all of our questions at our survey of our 32 ft. Sea -Fox cc.Money well spent on Tim finding a few questionable items on the boat as we got the price we all thought was fair.Would use him in a heartbeat again. thx,TB marine services!
Mr. Brown is AWESOME! He is professional, and with his 30 years of experience, very knowledgeable!
Tim did a great job getting us ship shape and back on tbe water.He was professional and honest and was super timely in getting us squared away.We would highly recommend his servces..you can trust him..good guy!
Iβve known Tim for a very long time. His professionalism and experience is top shelf.
