Buy & Charter is not a broker service or a replacement for a professional marine survey.

How It Works

A guided path from vessel details to a personalized decision brief.

  1. Answer a few guided questions

    We ask one question at a time about the vessel, intended use, price, sale location, registration country, and intended home port.

  2. See your personalized preview

    Review an initial vessel-specific read on value, fit, ownership economics, charter feasibility, and caution flags before checkout.

  3. Unlock the full 9-section report

    Pay $29 once to receive the complete report by email, including break-even analysis, negotiation strategy, survey priorities, risks, and a final recommendation.

Your locations have different jobs in the analysis

The listing location informs acquisition context, the intended home port drives recurring operating-cost assumptions, and the intended charter market drives revenue and utilization assumptions. Where reliable local information is unavailable, the report identifies the limitation instead of substituting the sale location or inventing precision.

Illustrative Report Preview

Abbreviated examples based on the structure of a sample 2005 Bertram 570 report. Your personalized preview and full report use the vessel details, intended home port, charter market, and available listing information you provide.

  • Ownership Economics & Break-Even: Home-port operating costs are compared with net charter revenue to show break-even charter days, annual surplus, or the owner contribution required.
  • Risk & Reality Check: Age, service-history gaps, and mixed-vintage systems increase uncertainty and should be reflected in survey scope and offer conditions.
  • Recommendation & Next Steps: Proceed only if the survey, sea trial, engine review, title checks, and local cost verification support the purchase case.

Illustrative and abbreviated. Delivered reports contain deeper narratives, operating-cost and break-even tables, assumptions, caveats, vessel-specific findings, and practical next steps. Local information may be unavailable and should be professionally verified.

Frequently asked questions

What happens before I pay?
You answer guided vessel and buyer questions, then review a personalized preview with an initial read on value, fit, economics, and caution flags before deciding whether to continue.
What is included in the $29 report?
A complete nine-section assessment covering executive summary, vessel fit, indicative market comps, economics and break-even, offer strategy, survey priorities, operational requirements, risk, and recommendation.
What is the difference between $29 and the $39 membership?
The $29 option purchases one complete assessment. The $39/month membership includes unlimited assessments and can be cancelled anytime.
Can I assess a vessel in another country?
Yes. Use a supported public listing or enter the vessel manually. Report depth depends on the vessel details, market evidence, and reliable local information available.
Does it replace a marine survey?

What if the assessment is not useful?
Email us within 7 days of purchase for a full refund. No questions asked.
