About us

My name is Drew Napp, and I am the owner/operator of Landon Yacht Surveying. I bring 13 years of Maritime experience in many different aspects of the industry. I grew up working on boats, including my own, leading me to a Maritime Industry career. I attended and graduated from SUNY Maritime College in NY, where I graduated with a Marine Transportation Degree and a USCG 3rd Officer Unlimited License (Merchant Marine Officer). The Maritime Industry has led me worldwide, including four transatlantic crossings and a lifetime of experiences. I have worked on Merchant Ships, Tugs, Yachts, and anything from a Center Console to a Bow-rider. I am still a Merchant Marine Officer and a Boat Safety instructor at Boat Safe US, LLC.
