Buying Guide
for Sailboats and Motorboats
If you are planning to buy a boat or yacht, whether new or used, we are here to offer our expertise as competent advisors. Especially when it comes to buying used boats from private sellers, determining the true value of the vessel is essential. Depending on the condition of the yacht or boat, various factors will be inspected, tested, or otherwise evaluated. From visual inspections to acoustic tests like tapping, video endoscopy, and ultrasonic thickness measurements, dye penetrant testing to detect cracks, as well as wave measurements and many other assessments, the object you are interested in will be thoroughly examined by us. Even if a ship has a high value, this does not necessarily mean that the seller's price expectation can be realistically enforced in the market. Moreover, the overall condition of the vessel, equipment, and functionality of devices are relevant to determining its value. A glance at the boat depreciation list© alone can provide rough estimates of the yacht's value. If we identify smaller, repairable damages, the cost for the buyer may be low. However, such defects can significantly reduce the purchase price. So, before you make a final decision to buy a boat or yacht, you should consult an expert. This way, you can be sure that you will be protected from unpleasant surprises. The same evaluations will, of course, be carried out if you intend to sell your ship.
