Alan C. Gaidelis, a lifetime boater, entered the marine surveying profession in 1995 at the recommendation of another SAMS Accredited surveyor. In 1999, he sold a repair business and founded Bayside Marine Surveying, Inc., so that he could survey full time. Since then, Alan has gained a reputation for thoroughness, accuracy and honesty, and his business has grown steadily.
There are no Governmental regulation for Surveyors of recreational vessels. Certain marine surveyors are permitted to use a designation denoting the level of membership in accrediting organizations. These organizations subject potential members to a thorough peer review and successful completion of a written exam.
Alan has been a pleasure to work with. He went out of his way to explain even the smallest of details during our boat survey. He was always friendly and very professional. I would recommend Bayside Marine Surveying to anyone needing a detailed marine survey that produces the final report in a very timely manner as promised.

I currently live in the San Francisco Bay area and found a beautiful 2019 Regal 28 Express in the Pasadena, MA area with only 50 hours. Everything was telling me just purchase it since it is practically still a brand new boat. Fortunately, I surround myself with good people who recommended I still get a survey done on it and my good buddy who lives in the area turned me onto a local expert on boats. This person immediately recommended Alan. I was not disappointed! Alan is very professional and I appreciated his honesty and detailed work. Truly felt he was on my side on making sure this boat was

Alan was a pleasure to work with during our pre-purchase process. His depth of knowledge and willingness to educate me was invaluable. The end result in the report was very detailed oriented and beyond my expectations. I have been boating for a number of years and rarely do you find a gem like Alan.

Alan is superb - he delivers a detailed survey on time, with a detailed report and ample discussion time. His findings are clearly explained and dumbed-down for anyone to understand. He is a very pleasant guy who educated me a lot and redirected where my major concerns should be. I haven't decided what I'm doing yet with my potential purchase, but I know that he either saved me from a lemon that was going to unknowingly cost a small fortune to repair or he saved me tens of thousands in the purchase price to offset repairs. I regret paying for a separate engine inspection as his survey provided

Alan saved us so much money on a boat that was not as advertised. He’s very responsive answered all of our questions and gave a detailed survey report I would definitely use him again especially being that we are brand new boat owners and didn’t know anything about the buying process and what to expect from a used boat.

There’s efficient and then there’s efficient! We hired Alan to survey a boat for us and we are so glad we did. He covered every inch of the boat and provided us with a multi-page report. Alan is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He did our survey on a short notice, reviewed the report with us and answered all of our questions. Alan is the real deal!

If you want the job done correct, then Alan with Bayside Marine is your guy. Alan proved to be very knowledgeable and eager to work/help me the client, even before I was a paying client and just looking for good information from a professional surveyor! His honesty and thoroughness through-out the entire experience educated me immensely. Unfortunately, the deal did not work out because of the survey findings, but in hindsight this saved me several thousands in the long run. Alan's years in the industry will show favorable when hiring Bayside Marine to conduct any of the services he offers.
