Our story.

Founders Simon Bridgwood, and Duncan Fong have been working in the marine surveying industry for over 20 years. During their time as surveyors they gained tremendous experience, and saw a lot of opportunity to make impactful changes.

Having worked together for over seven years and being entrepreneurs at heart, Simon and Duncan felt the synergy and decided to disrupt the status quo of the marine surveying business, which is when Elite Marine Surveyors was born.

This partnership and company has been a great success, due to their dynamic approach and drive for excellence. They have consistently grown their roster of surveyors, across the U.S., and there are no signs of stopping.
