HOW I CAN HELP

Expertise for sailing and motor yachts

From pre-purchase and damage surveys to valuations, new-build supervision and refits.

Pre-purchase survey

Jacht tijdens een pre-purchase survey

Pre-purchase surveys

An independent assessment of the technical condition of your prospective sailing or motor yacht, with clear findings and practical advice.

What is inspected?

Hull above and below the waterline, keel and rudder, deck and superstructure, engine and drive, electrical system, freshwater and sanitation, gas system and safety equipment. On sailing yachts, the mast and standing rigging are also assessed from deck level.

The survey includes an out-of-water inspection and a sea trial. Findings are recorded in a report with photographs, points requiring attention and recommendations. You receive the report within three working days.

For a quotation, please send the yacht type, year of build, location and preferred timing. Haul-out and yard charges are invoiced separately by the yard.

Valuation

Damage surveys

Technical investigation into the nature, cause and extent of damage, with substantiated repair recommendations.

More about damage surveys

Following collisions, groundings, leaks or structural defects, I document the damage and investigate its possible cause. I assess proposed repairs and can supervise the work.

You receive a clear report with photographs and technical reasoning. The questions to be answered and the available documentation determine the scope of the assignment.

Yacht valuations

A substantiated valuation of your sailing or motor yacht for insurance, purchase, sale or another specific purpose.

More about valuations

I inspect the yacht and assess its type, year of build, specification, equipment and maintenance condition. Relevant market data is taken into account in the valuation.

We agree the purpose and basis of valuation beforehand. The valuation report clearly records the assumptions, findings and value. For insurance valuations, we also establish the insurer’s requirements.

PERSONAL AND INDEPENDENT

Technical knowledge.
A clear assessment.

My name is Tim Visser. Through TIM expertise BV, I carry out independent surveys and valuations of sailing and motor yachts in the Netherlands and worldwide.

My background in mechanical engineering and business administration, years of sailing and practical refit experience underpin my work. I investigate carefully, explain my findings and provide advice you can use.

Advice and tuition too

Alongside surveys and valuations, I help with choosing a suitable yacht, technical decisions and preparing for longer voyages. On-board tuition, shore-based support and remote technical advice are also available.
