Appraisal Inspections

When you need to know the current market value of a vessel—whether for selling, financing, legal purposes, or personal records—an Appraisal Inspection provides a clear, professional assessment you can rely on. This service focuses on determining value rather than evaluating seaworthiness or insurance requirements.

Purpose of This Inspection

Appraisal Inspections are commonly requested for:

  • Selling or listing a vessel

  • Estate planning, divorce, or legal settlements

  • Loans, refinancing, or collateral documentation

  • Donations or tax-related purposes

  • Personal knowledge of current market value

 

What We Do

We examine the vessel to verify its identity, overall condition, installed equipment, upgrades, and maintenance history. This information is compared against current market trends, similar vessels for sale, and recent sales data to determine fair market value or replacement value, depending on what is needed.

This is not a full condition or insurance survey. Instead, it is designed specifically to answer one key question: What is this vessel worth in today’s market?

Why It Matters

A professionally documented appraisal protects your financial interests, helps support negotiations, and provides credible documentation for lenders, attorneys, buyers, or tax authorities. It ensures the vessel’s value is clearly supported and easy to verify.
