Talk to us.
A short, honest conversation — not a sales call. We respond within 24 hours.
Considering a purchase
A short note works — vessel type or size range, rough budget, timeline if you have one. A second opinion mid-process is welcome too.
Vetted network enquiry
Brokers, surveyors, insurers, registration agents, marine service providers. Fixed referral fees on completed transactions — agreed in advance, independent of sale price.
Urgent structural review
About to sign a Memorandum of Agreement? Get comparables, red-flag clause analysis, and a valuation delta within 24 hours.
Asking about a specific yacht? The free Deal Check gives you a buyer-side read in twenty seconds — no form, no wait.
Not sure which path? Route by what you need.
Four specialists, four objectives. Each one returns structured intelligence — not a sales recommendation. Pick the path that fits your stage.
Audit Specialist
Submit a listing URL or vessel details. We cross-reference 10,000+ market data points to surface pricing anomalies, hidden maintenance costs, and a defensible fair-value range — before you make an offer.
Readiness Consultant
From Gold Coast to Aberdeen, we map realistic berthing availability, crew costs, annual maintenance cycles, and insurance structure — so you know your true annual cost of ownership before day one.
Urgent Intelligence Support
About to sign a Memorandum of Agreement? Get a rapid structural review — comparable sales, red-flag clauses, valuation delta. Typically returned within 24 hours. We confirm capacity before accepting.
Partner Relations
For yacht brokers, surveyors, insurers, registration agents, and marine service providers interested in joining our pre-vetted referral network. Fixed referral fees on completed transactions. Transparent pricing and disclosed dual-agency policies required.
Questions we hear most often.
Four questions cover roughly 80% of what first-time buyers ask us. If yours isn't here, email and we'll respond within 24 hours.

01 You're not brokers. How exactly do you make money?
We operate a Quiet Referral model. When a buyer we've audited proceeds to a transaction with one of our vetted partners — only when the deal is structurally sound and the buyer has full intelligence — the partner pays us a referral commission — only when the transaction completes.
You never pay us directly, and we never receive anything unless a clean deal closes. A deal that falls apart earns us nothing. A deal you regret earns us nothing.
02 Is my engagement confidential? What do you share with brokers?
Completely confidential. We share nothing with brokers, sellers, or third parties without your explicit written instruction. The vessel you're evaluating, the price you're considering, and your audit findings are your information — they do not leave our platform.
For clients in senior public or corporate roles, we offer anonymised engagement with a designated reference code and no name on correspondence.
03 What's your typical timeline?
Standard AI Valuation Audit: within 48 hours of receiving the listing URL and vessel details.
Urgent Pre-Signature Review: 24 hours, capacity confirmed before acceptance.
Full intelligence process for a serious vessel decision (valuation, anonymised enquiries, logistical audit, TCO report): two to four weeks. We are not a fast-track service. We are a correct-decision service.
04 Can I use your audit and then go to my own broker?
Yes. The audit is yours to keep and use however you choose. Many clients table it directly in negotiations — it's formatted as a structured evidence document: fair-value range, comparables with normalisation rationale, identified pricing delta.
The Quiet Referral introduction to our partner network is an option, not a condition. Your interests determine the recommendation, not our revenue.
