Kingspoke Marine Surveying was founded in 2017. Principal Surveyor Zach Simonson-Bond, NAMS-CMS, has been involved in the maritime industry for over 15 years and brings his experience, passion, and attention to detail to your vessel’s survey. Zach apprenticed under David Jackson, NAMS-CMS.
Located on Whidbey Island, Kingspoke Marine Surveying is central to many of Washington’s major boating hubs including: Everett, Seattle, Port Townsend, Anacortes, and Bellingham.
Zach grew up on Whidbey and returned there with his wife Alea and pets Tiller the tabby cat and Bosun the golden retriever. Zach is passionate about wooden boats and cut his teeth aboard the schooners Adventuress, Mary Day, and Lewis R. French. He and his wife continue to sail aboard their 23′ sloop Stardust.
