Appraisals

I provide a professional Yacht Appraisal service for all brands of yachts. You receive a detailed multi-page Appraisal Report showing how your vessel compares to others. I look at many factors to determine Fair Market Value such as replacement cost, equipment lists, condition (as reported), book values, comparable sales, and comparable vessels on the market. This is not a hull or condition survey, but is a detailed valuation analysis from a 25 year industry sales professional – similar to a real estate appraisal.

It can be used for Insurance Valuations, Pre-Purchase Guidance, Asset Disposition, Estate Planning, Divorce Settlements, and Pre-Sale Pricing or anytime you would like to know What Your Boat is Really Worth!

My fee is $299 for most, a little more for others. I accept credit card payment and provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and 24 hour turn around. I’m happy to answer any question you may have about my Appraisal Service – just drop me a note using the form below.
