Yacht Valuations

We provide an independent yacht valuation service, providing a professional opinion for individuals and businesses alike.  This can be for the purposes of Insurance, Marine Mortgages, Bank Loans, Probate, Repossession, Pre-purchase investigation, biding or ascertaining a private sale price.

Yacht valuations, in most instances, can be carried out with the vessel afloat, on the assumption that the hull, keel(s), stern gear and rudder(s) are of a sound condition.  This is acceptable for most circumstances.  The most accurate valuation of a yacht can only be carried out in association with a full condition survey.

Tonnage Measurement

As an approved Tonnage Measurer for the Yacht Designers & Surveyors Association we are authorised to carry out measurement surveys for owners of yachts that wish them to be registered on Part 1 of the British Registry.

Registration on Part 1:

• Enables you to prove title to your boat
• Allows you to register a marine mortgage
• Provides internationally accepted documentation to ease passage to foreign ports
• Entitles you to protection from the Royal Navy and the services of British Consuls
• Can enhance the resale of your vessel
• Provides proof of date of build in respect of the EU Recreational Craft Directive
• Ensures that your boat's name is unique on Part 1

The measurement survey can be carried out with the yacht afloat.
