Appraisal services

Valuation built around its intended use.

No two assignments carry the same question, audience or standard of reliance. Scope and reporting are established before the conclusion is developed.

One asset.
Distinct decisions.

Yacht value may be considered for ownership, financial, insurance, legal or fiduciary purposes. Each calls for a precise definition of value, an effective date and a report appropriate to those who will rely upon it.

01

Market value

A considered opinion of value at a defined effective date, informed by vessel particulars, relevant market evidence and the circumstances of the assignment.

02

Insurance & replacement value

Valuation support for placement, renewal, agreed-value review, replacement-cost considerations and insurance-related matters.

03

Finance & collateral

Independent reporting for lenders, underwriters, credit committees and principals evaluating a yacht as a financial asset or security.

04

Litigation & dispute

Valuation analysis for counsel, insurers and parties where scope, assumptions, evidence and reasoning must be clearly articulated.

05

Estate & fiduciary

Discreet opinions for estate planning, trust administration, equitable distribution, succession and other fiduciary decisions.

06

Acquisition & ownership decisions

Independent value perspective for principals and family offices considering acquisition, disposition, restructuring or major capital expenditure.
