Expert opinion costs
Often, one of the first questions asked of an expert is: How much does an expert report
cost?
Since this depends on a variety of
factors, we offer to clarify this in a
personal consultation.
As a very simple rule of thumb, you
can expect approximately €15 per
foot, plus additional expenses and
travel costs.

Sports boat survey
You want to sell your boat or yacht, or perhaps buy a different one. No matter what situation you are in as an owner, you definitely need a reliable assessment of the
boat's condition and equipment.
This requires not only our professional expertise but also a systematic approach and standardized
documentation.
Depending on the type of assignment, we will inspect the condition of the hull, superstructure,
rigging (where possible), technical systems, and all other fittings and fixtures. For purchase, sale,
and valuation reports, we pay particular attention to all safety-related aspects, as well as
navigation and steering systems.
All reports, including damage assessments, are conducted and documented according to the
guidelines of the VUSS (Association of Independent Recreational Boat Experts).
Purchase, sale and valuation reports
If you decide to commission us to prepare an expert report, we will work with you to develop a written order confirmation. This will detail the
exact services to be provided and the estimated costs.
A recreational boat expert report can include, for example:
•
Examination of the boat on land or in the water to determine its condition in relation to its service life
•
Identification of existing or potential damage
•
Hull moisture measurement
•
Inspection for osmosis damage
•
Visual inspection of the engine, gearbox, and drive components
•
Sea trial to test the engine's functionality, including a full-throttle run (3-5 minutes at full RPM)
•
Summary assessment of the engine and drive components
•
Sea trial under sail and inspection of the sails, standing rigging, and running rigging
Please note that the boat inspection time depends on the boat's size and the scope of the work. You should allow at least one working day. If
the boat is to be inspected both on land and in the water, a crane will be required. This may mean that we need to schedule a second
appointment with you.

Damage assessment
You've had a collision or discovered a repair defect. Then you need
an expert report as soon as possible, one that will also help you
with the insurance claim.
Our damage reports are standardized and thoroughly documented.
You can expect the following:
o
Detailed written documentation
o
Photographic documentation (possibly with drone
footage)
o
Determination of repair costs
o
Residual value assessment (supplementary agreement)
We would be happy to discuss all the details with you in a personal
conversation.
