The “all-round care” package for prospective yacht owners

We guide you
through the entire purchasing process

Whether you are just starting out, are already looking at specific listings or are about to sign the contract, our purchase consulting services are designed to guide you step by step through the entire yacht buying process.

Offers such as Pre-Select Coaching and the Listing QuickCheck help you to understand the market, recognize pitfalls early on and select offers that suit your usage profile and budget.

Our digital assistant “BoatInspect Pro” guides you through the initial inspection and provides orientation and security before you invest time and money in an appraisal.

If a boat is seriously considered, detailed on-site appraisals and buyer support in the final step ensure that all technical and economic facts are disclosed for the purchase decision – so that a dream boat does not become a cost trap.

Digital checklist for the first viewing

Have you already set your sights on a boat and would like to inspect it without having to go to the expense of a survey? Then our free web app “BoatInspect Pro” is just the right tool for you.

With the help of a detailed, workflow-oriented and comprehensively illustrated checklist, you can ensure that you do not miss anything that may require closer examination during the initial inspection.

You document any abnormalities directly using the app and at the end you generate a clear and structured report for further negotiations. If you wish, we can discuss the report in a video call and discuss together where there may be further risks or whether a more comprehensive assessment would be useful.

  • Comprehensive checklist with test instructions and illustrations
  • Photo documentation of anomalies with position and notes
  • Clear and structured inspection report
  • Optional: Discussion of all findings via video call and joint remote viewing

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions
to the yacht purchase advice

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our online services and the process and benefits of our purchase advice.

A yacht purchase consultation helps you to avoid risks, costs and wrong decisions when buying a boat.
It is particularly useful if you have little experience, are unsure about listings or want to invest a larger budget.
Our consultation begins before the first viewing and can extend to the purchase appraisal.

Our services are aimed primarily at prospective yacht owners, people switching to a larger or different boat and buyers of used boats at home and abroad.
First-time buyers in particular benefit from structured pre-selection, realistic assessments and clear recommendations.

The costs depend on the scope of the desired service.
Pre-select coaching or an advertisement quick check can already be booked at manageable fixed prices.
More extensive services such as remote viewing or purchase appraisals are calculated transparently on a time and material basis.
The aim is always to avoid major financial mistakes.

A listing quick check is an initial, quick assessment based on listings, pictures and information provided by the seller.
A purchase appraisal, on the other hand, is a detailed technical inspection of the boat on site.
The quick check helps with the pre-selection – the appraisal with the final purchase decision.

Yes. Many of our services are especially suitable for international boat purchases.
With remote viewing, online analyses and digital communication, we can also provide you with effective support for boats abroad.
On-site purchase appraisals are also possible, depending on the region.

Yes. We are neither dealers nor brokers and have no economic interest in the sale of a particular boat.
Our assessments are made exclusively from a technical and professional point of view – neutral, independent and comprehensible.

After the pre-select coaching, you will know which boat types, years of construction and budgets are realistic.
On this basis, you can have specific advertisements checked, book remote viewings or commission a purchase appraisal.
You decide flexibly how intensive the further support should be.

Online services are no substitute for a final inspection or a purchase appraisal.
However, they help to weed out unsuitable offers at an early stage and avoid time, costs and unnecessary travel.
This means you only invest your energy in really interesting boats.

Appointments for online services are usually available at short notice.
assessments are usually carried out within a few days. More precise time frames are communicated transparently at the time of booking.

When booking a Pre-Select Coaching or an Advertisement Quick Check, you will be redirected to forms immediately after paying the consulting fee, where you can provide us with all the necessary information in advance. As a rule, this concerns your personal preferences, budget and links to advertisements.
