I’m Paul Cence, the owner and lead surveyor at Cence Marine. Boats have been at the center of my life for decades, and I’ve built my career around understanding how they’re designed, maintained, and operated. That lifelong experience is what I bring to every survey I conduct.
As a USAA- and Navtech-certified surveyor, I combine industry-recognized credentials with real-world knowledge to deliver surveys you can trust. Whether I’m inspecting a small sailboat or a large yacht, I approach every vessel with the same attention to detail, commitment to accuracy, and respect for my clients’ goals.
What sets me apart is the personal service I provide. As an independent surveyor, I work directly with you—no middle layers, no rushed reports. I take the time to explain my findings in plain language so you have the clarity and confidence to make informed decisions about your vessel.
When you choose Cence Marine, you’re working with someone who values honesty, precision, and your peace of mind above all else.
