Because a good boat is hard to find.

Who We Are:

Capital Marine Surveying is owned and operated by Drew and Hannah Maglio. Drew Maglio is an IIMS Associate Surveyor and ABYC Certified Advisor. An avid boater and sailor, he turned his lifelong passion into a profession in 2021 when he founded Capital Boat Works, a marine repair and maintenance company in Annapolis that also offered training, advisory services, and vessel inspections. Capital Marine Surveying is the natural evolution of his earlier work—focusing on the parts of the work he loves most: inspecting boats, helping clients find excellent vessels, and equipping them to become confident, capable boaters.

​

Drew is also a published boating writer whose work has appeared in a wide range of boating and sailing magazines. His love of clear writing and teaching was nurtured through two Great Books programs, culminating in a Master’s degree from St. John’s College.

​

Hannah also attended St. John's, where she received her Bachelor's degree. She manages the administrative and creative sides of the business. She has embraced life on the water alongside Drew, especially during their Great Lakes trips aboard their Chaparral 2550 SX cuddy cabin, Soul Rebel. She is particularly looking forward to learning to sail on the Chesapeake once they complete the refit of their newly acquired Hunter Legend 37.5 monohull sailboat.
