Boat valuation database?

[2greens1red]

"Our" surveyor (several sailboats recently) is currently mid-Atlantic and out of comms. His surveys (and pre-surveys) were accompanied with historical Asking/Achieved prices of the boat he was asked to survey, usually over the previous 10 years.

I realise that info has limited usefulness (trade sales only, for example, engine details, toys installed), but we need that data for a 1986 sloop we're interested in. Current asking prices are elusive, as the boat is relatively scarce.

Is there a database one can access for a fee? Even via a "friendly" surveyor?

I guess I mean soldboats.com which seems to have been incorporated into YachtWorld.

Any chance of requesting access?

jdpower ?

If it is a very rare boat they may not have data though.

If the boat is with a broker as for comparable closed sales from Yachtworld. I have had brokers offer me this information even without asking.


Some surveyors also subscribe to this database.

Many thanks for the replies.

bukvalu.com doesn't appear to cover boats outside the US/Canada.

jdpower.com didn't recognise Finland's Siltala as a manufacturer; Nauticats aren't that rare?

We've never had info from a broker, but a couple of surveyors have been seriously helpful; I assume they need the info for a reasonably accurate valuation?

I'm not sure how useful the asking/sold info is, as a boat's value (at least in the eyes of the seller) can be plus/minus £$10-20k depending on toys such as watermakers/aircon/Starlink etc.
