SCC Marine

Operating from Punta Gorda in Southwest Florida, SCC Marine brings together marine surveying expertise and naval architecture services under one roof. Led by Stuart C. Clotworthy, who holds both AMS (Accredited Marine Surveyor) and ACMS (Associate Certified Marine Surveyor) credentials, the business serves boat and yacht owners throughout the region with comprehensive assessment and design capabilities.

The surveying division focuses on helping clients select vessels that align with their needs and budgets. Marine surveys conducted by SCC Marine provide detailed evaluations of boat condition, systems, and structural integrity—essential information for buyers, sellers, lenders, and insurance companies. Their inspection services cover vessels of various sizes, from recreational boats to larger yachts, with the thoroughness expected from accredited marine surveyors. Each survey delivers an affordable yet comprehensive assessment that gives stakeholders clarity about a vessel's true condition and value.

On the naval architecture side, SCC Marine handles a diverse range of engineering challenges. Their capabilities span new vessel design, major refits, structural engineering analysis, and stability book preparation. Whether a client needs structural modifications evaluated, weight and balance calculations for a refit project, or complete naval architecture services for a new build, the team applies engineering principles to marine design challenges. This combination of surveying and architecture expertise allows them to understand vessels both from an assessment perspective and an engineering standpoint.

The business maintains a physical presence at 16440 Cape Horn Blvd in Punta Gorda, providing services throughout the Southwest Florida marine corridor. This region's concentration of recreational boaters, yacht owners, and marine facilities creates consistent demand for qualified surveying and naval architecture services. SCC Marine positions itself as an accessible resource for vessel owners who need professional assessments or engineering support without the premium pricing often associated with marine technical services.

Stuart Clotworthy's credentials through recognized marine surveying organizations lend credibility to the inspection and assessment work, while his naval architecture background enables the business to address complex engineering questions that arise during surveys or standalone projects. The dual focus on surveying and architecture creates a practical service model for the Southwest Florida market, where boat owners and yacht operators regularly need both evaluation services and technical engineering support as they maintain, modify, or purchase vessels in the region's active boating community.
