FAQ

Boat Appraisal Questions

What types of boats do you appraise?

We appraise powerboats, yachts, sailboats, personal watercraft, fishing and work boats, vintage and classic vessels, and multi-unit fleets, matching the report to your intended use.

What is the difference between a boat appraisal and a marine survey?

A boat appraisal establishes fair market value for purposes like insurance, estate settlement, charitable donation, or lending. A marine survey is a detailed inspection of the hull, systems, and components. We provide both, and many engagements combine them.

Our appraisers hold credentials with leading organizations such as the ASA, CAGA, and NAMS, and every report is prepared in accordance with USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice).
