Already have a boat and need to find out what it’s worth? Several scenarios require an Appraisal Survey, such as legal cases, donations, estate settlements and financing. It does this without diving into the minutia of “Exactly what cockpit cushions need to be repaired?” or “Would the vessel benefit by updating the navigation system?

An Appraisal Survey is usually initiated by an owner who may need this information for resale, financing, or estate planning. Appraisal surveyors play a crucial role in this process by assessing the safety and structural components of the vessel, including the hull, deck, engine, and essential fuel, exhaust, and electrical systems. It also ensures compliance with safety standards. However, the big item on the list is the market value estimate, which reflects the vessel’s condition, current market trends, and comparable sales. Unlike a pre-purchase survey, this report does not include detailed advice or recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or maintenance.
