How our boat valuations work
AI Boat Buddy aggregates 170,000+ active boat listings from 12 European platforms (Boats.com, YachtWorld, TheYachtMarket, Yachtfocus, Apolloduck, Boot24, Yachtall, Rightboat, Scanboat, BoatTrader, BoatShop24, and Yachtworld EU). For each valuation request, we:
- Filter for comparable models within ±2 years of the input year and similar specifications
- Remove outliers using IQR-filtered weighted percentiles to discard unrealistic listings
- Calculate the median price, 25th percentile (likely low end), and 75th percentile (likely high end)
- Assign a confidence level (low, medium, high) based on the number of comparable boats and price spread
What the valuation tells you
You receive a transparent estimate that brokers, buyers, and sellers can use to anchor expectations. We provide the median price (the most likely market value), the typical asking-price range (25th to 75th percentile), and the number of comparable boats found. This is honest data — if we only find 4 comparable boats, we tell you the confidence is low rather than fabricate a precise number.
When to use a formal survey instead
Our valuations are indicative market estimates, not formal surveys. For a binding insurance valuation, financing appraisal, or pre-purchase inspection, you need a certified marine surveyor who physically inspects the boat. Our data helps you understand the market — it does not replace the surveyor’s role.
Who uses our boat valuations
Brokers, buyers, sellers, surveyors, insurance companies, and finance companies across Europe use AI Boat Buddy. Brokers run 30-50 valuations per month against their listings. Buyers compare asking prices against our median to negotiate. Sellers price their boat for optimal time-on-market. Insurance companies use our data as a second opinion when pricing policies.
