Our approach
Both as skippers and as surveyors, we repeatedly encounter owners who are not quite as happy with the purchase of their boat as they should be.
Common reasons for this are:
- The type of boat chosen does not really meet the expectations of the owner or the owner’s family
- In the euphoria of the purchase process, defects were “glossed over” or the costs of rectifying them were blatantly underestimated.
- Supposed “bargain boats” ultimately turn out to be time and money wasters.

and scouting
If you already have a few “candidates” in mind at this point, we will look through the relevant offers and give you objective feedback on how worthwhile it is to pursue them further or even view them.
If you have not yet identified any potential properties, we will also take over the search according to a jointly developed list of criteria.
Tours and
walk-through inspections
If you don’t have the time or simply find it too inconvenient to travel, we can also carry out the initial survey or visual inspection.
In addition to comprehensive photographic documentation, we also create a virtual 360-degree tour of your boat so that you can experience it from the comfort of your own home almost as if you were there in person.
Documents
audit
From the measurement certificate to the VAT certificate – a number of documents are sometimes required for the smooth processing of a boat purchase.
We check whether the available evidence is sufficient and, in case of doubt, refer you to specialized lawyers and notaries in order to create legal certainty and avoid expensive follow-up costs.
Purchase advice vs. expert opinion
But what are the advantages of opting for purchasing advice?
Well… While an expert opinion naturally focuses on the (technical) condition of a boat, a purchase consultation is more about WHICH boat is right for you.
And while an expert opinion – depending on the scope of the inspection and the size of the boat – is a considerable “investment”, the costs for a purchase consultation are absolutely manageable.
