Comprehensive Surveys for your safety

With our yacht surveys or purchase appraisals, you are always on the safe side when buying a used yacht.

We do not only offer you a first-class price/performance ratio, but also the greatest possible flexibility with regard to the scope of the inspection and the preparation of the inspection report. Detailed offers and clear service agreements also guarantee you full cost transparency right from the start.

And the best thing about it is that the costs for the appraisal pay for themselves in almost every order simply because of the sound basis for the purchase price negotiations.

Risks when buying a yacht

  • Hidden osmosis damage or improper repairs
  • Damage due to grounding (keel, keel bed)

  • Unrealistic asking prices
