What Is Boat Purchase Consulting?
Buying a boat or yacht is a major investment — and having an experienced surveyor guide you through the process can save you time, money, and frustration. Hamilton & Hamilton Marine Surveyors provide expert pre-purchase consulting to help you choose a vessel that meets your needs, budget, and long-term goals.
This service helps buyers understand a vessel’s:
- True condition
- Suitability for intended use
- Potential repair or upgrade needs
- Maintenance expectations
- Fair market value
- Long-term ownership costs
We help you avoid surprises, negotiate with confidence, and make an informed decision before committing to a purchase.
How Our Consulting Service Helps You
1. Pre-Inspection Guidance
We identify what areas of the vessel need close attention, including common model-specific issues based on decades of experience.
2. Survey Interpretation
If you already have a survey report, we’ll walk you through every section so you fully understand any deficiencies, safety concerns, or upcoming maintenance.
3. Vessel Suitability Review
We evaluate whether the vessel matches your boating plans — fishing, cruising, offshore use, family boating, or live-aboard.
4. Cost & Upgrade Estimates
We help estimate potential repair, upgrade, or modernization costs so you know the true investment.
5. Negotiation Support
Our guidance helps buyers negotiate based on objective, factual findings.
