About Us Alan C. Gaidelis 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. Alan has spent most of his life working with those things mechanical. He possesses an extensive knowledge of marine mechanics and systems and most types of boat construction. He has owned several vessels up to 42 feet in length as well as operated many more performing local deliveries. In his earlier years, he spent his summers plying the waters of the Warren River in Barrington, Rhode Island or sailing on Narragansett Bay. The remainder of his time, he has spent either in Solomon's Island or Baltimore, Maryland. He has also been known to travel the East Coast from Boston to Norfolk. These days, Alan can be seen cruising on the waters of the Chesapeake, with his wife Melissa and Toby the cat, on their 36' Mainship Sedan. Alan has a commitment to providing the best surveys in the profession together with personalized service. He also enjoys the time that he has with his clients and always recommends that they attend the inspection. He takes the additional time that may be required to answer any questions that you may have.
