Independent yacht valuation

01

A valuation must answer a defined question—and withstand the next one.

International Yacht Appraisals provides focused, evidence-led opinions of value for complex yacht assets and consequential decisions.

Each assignment begins with its intended use, effective date and required standard of support. The conclusion is then developed from vessel-specific facts, relevant market evidence and clearly stated assumptions.
