YACHT SPECIAL SERVICES
Purchase Survey
Whether buying a New Build Yacht or an Existing Yacht, it is wise to have a Purchase Survey done. Shipyards will offer their so called Sales Documents as: General Arrangement Plans, Technical Drawings, Interior Specifications and Technical Specifications, all often accompanied by attachments like appendixes or annexes explaining what is being sold and under what conditions.
Existing Yachts have large data sheets on their special features and technical capabilities, photos and plan drawings explaining the layout and aesthetics of the vessel. On top of that they have an operational status and maintenance history.
With a Purchase Survey of the Yacht, KYC will give the correct insight of the vessel and provide an objective and independent advice. Based on the requirements of the Client KYC will provide a suitable offer.
For New builds we will go through the offer and specifications first, providing a Purchase Advice, verifying whether this is the correct Yacht to buy and the Shipyard to build it with. Secondly we will visit the Shipyard and report on pedigree, quality, financial liability, build slot availability, project availability, status and planning.
For Existing Yachts we first offer a Survey based on the available data and market information and provide a Purchase Advice consisting of one preferred and 1 or 2 alternative Yachts to buy. The second stage, when a specific project is selected, will be an on board survey and performance trial providing an in-depth report on the vessel, its operational status, overall quality and maintenance program. The last stage would be an underwater hull inspection if required for securing the purchase and not leaving any doubts.
Yacht Valuation
A Yacht Valuation could provide a proper selling price or validate an asking price. It could also provide the proper insurance value. Starting from a data check on technical equipment, certification and the maintenance records KYC will continue with a General Plan Survey and on board inspection on the overall quality and status of the Yacht. After performing the complete Valuation Survey, we will provide an objective and independent valuation.
Hull and Machinery Damage Survey
Unfortunately but true, not always all goes well. So how we get your vessel fit for duty as quick as possible without great pain and terrible headaches? KYC can arrange and coordinate a Hull and Machinery Damage Survey; inspections and surveys with the official bodies after hull and machinery damages in order to plan for dockings and repairs and get the Yacht operational again as quick as possible.
Litigation and Dispute Resolution
When your Client doesn’t get what was promised or disagrees with what is offered or suggested as a solution, KYC could offer Litigation and Dispute Resolution. If contractually arranged correctly we could offer a binding objective and independent dispute resolution in line with the contractual conditions and technical specifications.
