Not what the boat next to yours is listed at — what a vessel like hers has been selling for, read by a broker who has run one.
A valuation here is prepared, not generated. These are the inputs a broker reads before quoting you a range.
Not what they were listed at. Asking prices are public and sold prices are not, which is most of the gap between an owner's expectation and an offer — pricing here is informed by active sales data across the market your vessel trades in.
Engine hours, service records, electronics, canvas, paint and what has been done to the boat since it left the yard. Two identical hulls of the same year can sit a long way apart on this one factor alone.
A custom sportfish from a yard buyers ask for by name holds differently from a production hull of the same length, and the difference is not a percentage you can look up. It is what that builder's boats have been trading at.
Location, season and the state of the buyer pipeline all move a realistic number. We know who is looking along the Eastern Seaboard and in the Bahamas, what they want and what they will pay.
Builder, model, year, length, engines and hours, where she lies, and anything a spec sheet would not tell us. Photographs help and are not required.
Comparable sales, condition assessment and current market conditions in the segment your vessel trades in — read by a broker rather than generated by a calculator.
A realistic range, what sits behind it, and what we would recommend if you decide to sell. A valuation is not a listing agreement, and there is no obligation to become one.
From comparable vessels that actually sold rather than asking prices, the condition, hours and refit history of your own boat, the yard that built her, and where she lies against current demand. A broker reads those together — the number is not generated from a form.
No. A valuation is not a listing agreement. Owners ask for one to time a sale, plan a refit, settle an insurance or estate question, or simply to know where they stand.
Builder, model, year and length to begin with, then engines and hours, where the boat currently lies, and anything a spec sheet would not tell us — recent work, known issues, equipment fitted. Photographs help and are not required.
A broker at the firm — former professional yacht crew, seasoned captains and certified marine engineers, who have run vessels of the kind they are valuing. Not an automated estimate.
Yes. The office is on 772-280-4600, 9am – 9pm, or email info@scyachtandship.com. The form exists so a broker arrives at the conversation already holding your vessel's details.
Send the details and a broker will come back with a realistic range, what sits behind it, and what we would recommend if you decide to sell. It is not a listing agreement.
