This determines the value of a motor yacht
The value of a motor yacht depends on several factors that affect its market value. Perhaps you are considering selling your yacht, insuring it, or are just curious about its current value? Below we provide insight into the key things that can determine the value of a motor yacht.
Brand and model
Of course, the make and model of a motor yacht is a crucial factor in determining value. Motor yachts from reputable brands with a strong reputation often retain their value better. Potential buyers are often willing to pay more for a yacht that is known to be a reliable brand known for high quality yachts.
Year of construction and maintenance condition
Despite the year of construction being an indication of how old a yacht is, the state of maintenance is often even more important. An older yacht that has been well maintained can be worth more than a younger yacht that has been poorly maintained. Regular maintenance (and documentation of it) can positively affect the value.
Equipment
The equipment available on board, such as navigation systems, kitchen appliances, air conditioning or other luxury equipment, can increase the value of a motor yacht. Modern technology makes a yacht more attractive.
Technology
The type, power and condition of the engine(s) are essential in determining the value of your motor yacht. Technical specifications such as fuel type, propulsion and running hours also play a role. A powerful and well maintained engine increases the reliability and therefore the value of the yacht.
Material
The material from which a motor yacht is built also affects the valuation. This can include steel, polyester or, for example, wood. Steel yachts are often more robust but also require more maintenance, while polyester yachts are lighter and easier to maintain. So the material affects durability and maintenance costs.
Get your motor yacht appraised
For an accurate valuation, it is always wise to have a professional valuation performed. A certified appraiser assesses the yacht on various components and draws up a report of this assessment that is accepted by insurers, banks and other institutions. At Jachtmakelaardij De Maas we offer comprehensive valuations, carried out by EMCI certified valuers.
